We must focus on state governments. Know your state representatives, Attorney General, Secretary of State, state supreme courts. Know them. Call them. Get educated on what bills are being passed.

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

Elon lawyer to CA and DE AGs in Jan 7 letter: "...we assume you will provide a process for competitive bidding to actually determine that fair market value."

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

If our government has money for war, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, they have money for reparations for the descendants of chattel slavery. These struggles are linked. Our elected officials are choosing to spend money on bombs instead of our communities.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

A big ol' fuck you to @foxsports.com.web.brid.gy for gradually turning down the broadcast volume on Kenny's halftime performance. I had to keep turning the volume up again and again. I knew I wouldn't be the only one who noticed. Your quiet censorship knows no creative bounds 🦊🤡 #superbowl

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Here's what the decision by America's favorite sports league tells us about "anticipatory obedience."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while. at any case, glad it's started.

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Broadly, the Left should be supporting the boycott on Target. People are organizing outside of electoral politics to impact a giant corporation by withholding their money. It’s a strike, but for consumers. It’s working class empowerment. There must be solidarity.

Anyone else going to spend today reporting MAGA accounts and content on any platform possible?

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼

i can't fully express to you how weird the firearms load-out was for the green beret who killed himself in a cybertruck. not in a thousand years would i expect an active-duty spec ops guy to choose these guns

Vehicle used in the attack was rented on the Turo app, as was the Tesla detonated outside Trump property today in Las Vegas, according to AP. Welcome to 2025, everyone.

happy new year i hope the next one brings [redacted] to [redacted]

"At certain times the only corroboration required was that the target was a male, according to another person familiar with the efforts." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The ruling class does not want working class Americans of all races, identities, and political affiliations talking to each other about our economic struggles. When that happens, Americans start to realize we are all being exploited in similar ways by the ruling class.

Counties affected by H5N1 bird flu in poultry, according to the CDC.

. @casten.house.gov & I fought to release this report because the public had a right to see it. They paid for it. I commend the Ethics Cmte. members who voted to release. This isn’t just sex and drugs—it's unethical use of campaign funds, financial improprieties, and a panoply of violations.

Indeed, this is where we are.

I personally would like to thank Drake and J Cole for pissing Kendrick off fr. Have had him in rare form all year and it’s continuing into 2025

A new report on Supreme Court ethics found more luxury travel by Clarence Thomas in 2021 that wasn’t reported on his financial disclosure form

Bayer a pharmaceutical company and Monsanto a pesticide company. Bayer bought Monsanto. Bayer makes drugs to help with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Monsanto makes a chemical we use in the USA called glyphosate to spray on FOOD crops. Glyphosate causes Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

MTG’s last gig as ‘Speaker of the House’ went over so well. 🥴
