Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

Today on Volts: As YIMBYs (pro-housing activists) win battles across the country, they are beginning to network & learn from one another. Momentum is building. It's exciting! I talk with two superstar activists about recent victories in New York City & Austin, TX.

“It is often said that Trump has no real ideology, which is not true—his ideology is White supremacy, in all its truculent and sanctimonious power.” Ta-Nehisi Coates www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... I think of this piece often.

Again, this. Why has everyone decided Orange Man who got 49% of the vote can’t be publicly opposed? “They’re all in the tank for Trump” is not a convincing explanation, nor is “they’re all afraid.”

The wealthiest man in the world who is engaged in a coup of the government is openly stating that his end goal was never about efficiency. It was always about white power and instituting what the new right tech world has called “the event” the moment which governments collapse and they take over

ALWAYS ask who benefits. Gutting the FAA to increase plane crashes. Who benefits? Looks like this was all for Elon Musk & SpaceX. Don’t look so surprised.

To be clear, this was great reporting that had the details if the MOU, but TPM was first to report about DOGE demands for IRS taxpayer data two days before this was out. I would argue that merited a link at least. 🤷‍♂️ 🚨 talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doge-ir...

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

Our Supreme Connections database tracks who’s paid the Supreme Court justices, reimbursed their travel expenses or given them gifts. We just added Justice Samuel Alito’s 2023 filing and newly uncovered Justice Clarence Thomas filings from the 1990s.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
