One of the things Americans like most about America is that it’s next to Mexico, where god damned tacos and margaritas come from. Americans fucking love Mexico. So this is not surprising to me.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Relatable.

The “what can Democrats even do?” takes kill me… Mitch McConnell might be an evil turtle but goddamn he never let being “minority leader” stop him… elected Democrats can’t even muster like, 1/10th of that kinda spiteful energy

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

I'm a one-issue voter and it's "we absolutely need to let banks do mortgage fraud again, it's important." So this is a pretty big day for me.

I don't know any headline is bad enough to break the fever, but Elon Musk's Ketamine Dealer Is Gutting the Department of Education might do the trick

Gotta say, the mainstream media is simply not doing the minimum amount of work to communicate that a bunch of Nazis implicated in child pornography have all of our banking information and can turn off social security whenever they want.

Ethel Rosenberg got the chair for doing a lot less damage to U.S. national security than Elon Musk has done this week

Astronaut: Houston…uh…..have a problem Capcom: Who does? Mission Control engineer: you’re fired Flight director: [points] both people here no more work

My wife: Can you toss me the floss Me: You’d like a FLOSS TOSS? My wife: Could you throw out that expired Tylenol Me: Time for a MEDICINE JETTISON???

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

So on this question of “doxing” of Musk gizmocrats, I was talking to staffers to today detailing one of the gizmocrats who is largely on his own rewriting the code base of one of the US governments most mission critical computer systems. And as it was described to me the staff programmers …

tapping the "Elon Musk's actual area of expertise isn't engineering, business or technology but bad faith abuse of the legal system" sign

This whole moment in time, every single thing about this is an absolute fucking shanda. And the number of people who will suffer and die because of a handful of angry rich white men, and the craven bootlickers willing to do their bidding, is beyond comprehension. Throw. Sand. In. The. Gears.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Bear Flag Republic Time.

Who has invite codes for the new one

OK now we're heading into the cyberpunk future we were promised. Swearing at the robots disables them.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The price of eggs is suddenly not because of the president.

this is an example of how tech and crypto have created new economic efficiencies

In case you needed another reason to hate McDonald’s. apnews.com/article/pris...

Vaccines don't cause autism. Autism is genetic. Autistics are wired differently and have been around for over 200k years. You need us. All efforts to eradicate us are genocidal impulses. So let your kids get vaccines and not die of smallpox or polio or whatever.

This movie seems optimistic in hindsight. The movie’s depiction of humanity becoming so stupid that we are watering plants with energy drinks sounds smarter than drinking raw animal milk or trying to ban the polio vaccine which are mainstream ideas today.
