Seems like this email could severely backfire, in that it demonstrates the utter toothlessness of DOGE’s absurd directives. The question that kills DOGE has always been “Wait, are you the boss of me? Says what law?” and now Elon is forcing a lot of people to ask it.

So a TON of the replies to Elon's stupid "5 bullets describing what you did that week" are just gonna be - yo mama - yo mama - yo mama - yo mama - yo mama

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is a very good point. It's easy to want to say why can't we be like France, but the US is fundamentally different on a lot of levels.

It’ll never be funny to me that one of the biggest companies in history lit itself on fire and burned through $100,000,000,000 trying to make something that pales in comparison to what bored and horny furries have built for free

There are about 100 or so prominent Nazi accounts on Twitter who are disproportionately responsible for the rise of neo-Nazism in the US and liberals should place a high priority on identifying them, and removing them from the public discourse

So The Mouse is posting up "We have the first $100M movie of the year" of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld; which a halfway skeptical press would stick a dozen asterisks on (reshoots, marketing) but basically means "We're standing by this as a 'W' whereas we took 'THE MARVELS' on the chin."

Most people in the US have no idea about the attacks on federally funded science or our government institutions. Many (or most!) of your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends have no idea. My own MAGA dad thinks DOGE is just identifying waste, and that nothing has been cut. We have to tell them.

You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over" Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

It is clear that a lot of the existing leadership of the liberal order is largely weak, indecisive, risk-averse, and ineffectual. This is not proof of the failure of political liberalism, but it does mean that much of today's leadership is going to have to be replaced with militant liberals.

PSA: It’s not okay to bash writers for sharing links to their works on Amazon. I know Amazon is shitty but it’s not on writers who are just trying to survive to change a whole distribution system that is deeply ingrained, no matter how bad that system is.

One way to ensure the DOJ scandal gets press is to have it simultaneously wipe out the DOJ and the Democratic Party leadership, which is pretty much the optimal outcome.

If America actually commits war crimes against Canada there is absolutely nothing to stop a select few Canadians from crossing that wide open invisible border, being indistinguishable from an American citizen, and taking out strategic high value propaganda targets.
