Your aunt loves me on instagram. I love reading and Lego, but I probably won't talk about that here. See you at the public library.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

it’s not doomscrolling it’s just being informed

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

The corruption is endless. readsludge.com/2025/02/21/s...

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

So, trump has gotten every single cabinet member he's nominated.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle.

Whether it’s Joe Biden accepting a presidential salary or Elon Musk restructuring the federal government to benefit his private companies, presidents of both parties have used the office to financially enrich themselves.

What truly fills me with despair is how Americans are fine with this — even happy about it, enthused at any degradation of immigrants. Is a Republic made up of such people worth preserving?

There is no specific Constitutional prohibition against allowing a Russian dictator to massacre Ukrainian civilians. So it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about what Trump is doing right now by Jonathan Turley

Musk and Trump on hannity saying there should be no checks and balances in the government is yet another 5-alarm fire for democracy and it won't even make the front page of the paper. No mobile alerts. Nothing.

NEW --There's this guy in the executive branch who in less than a month has already spent NEARLY 11 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money playing golf. Yet the whole thing has flown under the radar of the crack waste/fraud/abuse squad over at DOGE somehow. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Which Senator is gonna tweets at us instead of staging a sit in at the rotunda

Absolutely disgusting

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

Elon's laughing at Black and Brown immigrants being completely chained up for a flight while the White House calls it ASMR. Hell is too good for this bastard.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Sure, since you asked so nicely! 1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obama’s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle — a powerful senator! — from being Obama’s HHS pick.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

"One FAA employee who was fired over the weekend suggested he was targeted for his views on Tesla and X..'The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account..Less than a week later I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.'"

1st Trump admin: we’re losing 3 jumbo jets worth of people each week to COVID 2nd Trump admin: we’re losing 3 jumbo jets with of people each week to plane crashes and 3 more due to bird flu and 3 more for lack of insurance and 3 more due to drug costs and 3 more due to climate change and 3 more…

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

And Musk directly pays the child porn posters to be on X/Twitter, which somehow goes uncommented-upon by nearly everyone.

For PBS, ethnic cleaning = transfer

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
