mommy coming on line to defend your multi billion dollar nazi company is crazy

It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

And watch the incompetently engineered, flaming SpaceX rocket debris fill the sky like the most expensive fireworks in history.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

UPDATE: An unvaccinated New Mexico man infected with measles has died. The man died without seeking medical care, and the official cause of death is under investigation. The deceased man was a resident of Lea County, New Mexico, where all 10 of the state’s confirmed measles cases have been…

The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service recently claimed that Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow. This now makes a total of three KGB agents—located in different places and speaking at different times—who agree on that.

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

NEW: The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is (or was) an advisory committee housed within the USDA which provides outside expert advice to advance food safety across the US and across different levels of govt. It was ordered disbanded this afternoon.

DOD Will No Longer Prohibit Contractors from Running Segregated Facilities talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dod-w...

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

BANKS: Put the veteran first. And that's what President Trump is focused on. That's what I'm focused on. KEILAR: Does it put veterans first to cut people who work on their benefits or who provide them healthcare? BANKS: I'm not convinced that's happening K: Are you talking to your constituents?

I am staggered by so many people who keep saying oh he won’t go that far. Why is it so hard to understand that to control us dictator style he needs us poor and sick and frightened and that is why he is taking away everything that makes us secure and well and strong. It’s so obvious.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

We were all drinking after that shit, so I get that part. But the Christian conservative decided to drive and put everyone else in danger.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

Every so often it strikes me that an entire civilisational economy based on unlimited extraction and consumption of finite resources is such a universe-shattering act of idiocy that surely no other planets could ever have attempted it Intergalactically embarrassing www.google.com/url?q=https:...

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Stop the count!” 🇺🇸

Call your electeds and scream that you don't want your tax dollars put into the Trumps or David Sacks' crypto schemes. Our taxpayer dollars were never meant to enrich billionaires.

I’m sure there’s a national picture, but I gotta tell you that I know an awful lot of Minnesotans - including my wife- who love target, who think of target as their favorite store and always have, cause it’s a Minnesota company. And they just haven’t shopped there since target caved on DEI.

I’ll bet J.D. Vance says “thank you” to Peter Thiel every day. On his knees.

Diplomacy > Reprimand. This is leadership 🇺🇦💙 #IStandWithUkraine #Diplomacy

every biden era conspiracy is now true. the president is a senile vegetable and the government is run by teenage fanatics and crooked billionaires. every company is in cahoots with the state to impose their political views. everyone is a satanic pedophile sex trafficker addicted to drugs

GOP reps love your vote, but not your voice. They’re dodging town halls faster than Trump dodged the draft. Demand answers! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/run-for-of...

This is the disgusting person Trump wanted released to the United States despite his heinous human trafficking charges. Listen to him describe how he’d grab women by the neck. MAGA can officially shut the fuck up about the Epstein files.

A friend of mine has a daughter with Down syndrome, and thanks to these programs she recently made the transition from high school and living at home to an internship at a major pharmaceutical company and an apartment of her own. But the techbros think that's all "waste"

The Revolution will be AI-icized

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

these are the kind of moves that'll eventually move the needle towards shifting power away from tech oligarchs

This the government equivalent of “accidentally” ingesting bleach. Oh…right…

We live in the dumbest dystopia.

Japan just released its climate action plan & it falls very short. "Instead of heeding the people’s calls for a science-aligned 81% emissions reduction target, PM Ishiba bowed to pressure from fossil fuel interests," says 350.org Japan Campaigner Masayoshi Iyoda.

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

an important thing about america's current media elites is that they're basically just the dregs of an industry that has been constant contraction since the 90s and thus a lot of them are nepobabies who don't actually want to do any work

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
