Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

So SOMEONE hired secret police to rough up hecklers and no officials with cop to it. Then when press reports on it, sheriff claims he’s getting death threats. Make him prove it. Because a lot of fascists are using these unsubstantiated claims to cover a whole lot of bad behavior.

My mom (who spent over 30 years as a Dr. for the VA until retirement) & my sister (who has worked for the feds since ‘01) were on vacation in Palm Springs this week. Or at least they were supposed to be until this dumb email fiasco. Now she has to cut it short to fly across the country on a red eye.

The Washington Post pulled an ad that was set to run in some editions on Tuesday calling for Elon Musk to be fired from his role in government, a group that ordered the ad said. It would have covered the front and back pages of editions delivered to the White House, the Pentagon and Congress.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

Wow! What a great cover!

yeah the ur-goal of politics is to create the conditions that get your society into the future their inability or refusal to correctly assess the level of threat is objectively one of the most profound political failures in modern history because it has now risked the existence of the Republic

Dox them. And their parents. And their parents’ companies’ shareholders. Their parents’ companies’ shareholders’ bankers. Every desperate hanger-on who didn’t say no. Every VC who ever said yes. It is because the privileged are allowed to act with impunity that they act with impunity. Ruin them.

Friedrich Merz, Germany's new chancellor, pledged support for Ukraine will be a top priority for his government and that it must "win the war". "Victory means restoring territorial integrity" and "we are not neutral, we are not standing aside. We are on the side of Ukraine.” #GermanElection #CDU

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

to give you some context, the sheriff of Kootenai County is a white supremacist gang-affiliated LASD member who ran a campaign mostly from California on an anti-antifa platform

I would enjoy this so much!

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

look i know he’s a bad guy and all but he prefers to be called robert

To bless our timeline. Here’s SweetDog picking out her new bed in 2020. Best. Dog. Ever.

"the reason [musk] does not do patents is because he would not be listed as an inventor as putting a fake inventor on a patent would kill it and moreover it would reveal the superstars behind the work" a thread that's totally worth your time 🧵 >>

While we are cutting costs it’s pretty clear that all of the Republicans in Congress could be very inexpensively replaced

The prophecy will be fulfilled

Women have had the right to vote for a hot minute but we've only been allowed agency e.g. bank accounts on our own, credit, mortgages, laws against DV/SA, no fault divorce for one (1) partial generation & the reaction is the manosphere getting so toxic its basically in extinction burst territory

Opinion | Government workers need to be more productive on the job. They can start by writing weekly emails detailing their progress to a drug-addled edgelord who will receive them while playing Diablo 4 with teenagers.

I don’t think people realize the psychological terror of seeing these constant Nazi salutes is inflicting on Jewish people specifically.

Trump take egg, NJ diner edition

German Elections: Note- AfD support went DOWN after the involvement of Musk and JD Vance.

the other part of this is it makes them particular vulnerable to open defiance

It’s notable that Trump cabinet secretaries and agency heads, for the most part, are acting more interested in preserving their own prerogatives against Musk’s illegal intrusions than Republican members of Congress are.

Someone came out of the yarn room

When I’m making jokes about my mental illness and someone tells me I’m being insensitive to people with my mental illness

Now ain't that neighborly #TeslaTakedown

The lawsuits that come out of this clusterfuck if they do start terminating civil servants for their responses or nonresponses are going to consume DOJ’s personnel for the rest of time

social media is just guzzling one another's mental illnesses

The funniest part is an allegedly grown man talking this much trash while wearing a hat that says PROUD BOYS. It’s like thumping your chest in a t-shirt that says I’M MOMMY’S LIL STINKER

I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

Actually just eat a big plate of chicken wings, you get to live your feral fantasy, feel sated, and your fingers will be too sticky and greasy to type out a hundred unhinged messages a day
