An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

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

"What its advocates want is not a restoration of explicit Jim Crow segregation—that would shatter the illusion that their own achievements are based in a color-blind meritocracy. They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability...."

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov. 2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept. 3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”). 4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart. Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

They don't think the presidency has these powers, a democrat was president less than a month ago and they didn't think he had them. They just think America should be a dictatorship where they rule forever bsky.app/profile/jame...

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

If you follow me & are not interested in helping promote this simple message, that Musk's 'doge' gang is just a criminal gang and should be described as such, then you should consider unfollowing me, though I'll hate to see you go. Because I am putting my heart into this, & you'll soon get bored.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that actual racism and discrimination divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

The real problem with this shit is that the Democrats in Congress are treating this like an election they need to win* instead of a crisis they need to stop. *and they aren't doing a good job even at that
