The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

As a Musk biographer, my view—based on the available evidence—is that if Trump and his team get their hands on Elon Musk’s federal citizenship application and compare it to the public acknowledgment by Kimbal Musk that he and his brother knowingly violated their student visas, Musk can be deported.

Phang: There’s a Texas Tribune article that reveals that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.—even though the administration wanted to label them as terrorists before deporting them.

Elon Musk claims he is going to outlive Donald Trump

Somewhere in the White House complex someone is already contemplating what uses the Defense Production Act could be put to against SpaceX

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

5 June 1936 | A French Jewish girl, Gina Goldstein, was born in Paris. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 13 September 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

America’s safety now hinges on a guy whose emergency contact is still his mom.

Spot an ICE agent? Say something, do something. #3E #stopICE

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts

“In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately”

Trump has appointed a 22-year-old former Heritage Foundation intern as the Department of Homeland Security official overseeing the US government’s main hub for terrorism prevention, including an $18 million grant program intended to help communities combat violent extremism.

Musk calls for Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vance.

Beni harvests blueberries in Sanger CA. He earns $5/bucket piece rate. He worries as the bushes don't have a lot of fruit. He only can pick 13 buckets/day vs the 16 he does when there's a lot of fruit.He worries a lot as his family depends on his wages to pay bills. #WeFeedYou

No. Absolutely not. He's a nazi. He smashed the federal government and stole our data. He put USAID and USIP in a wood chipper, leaving hundreds of thousands of children to die. He's not welcome in any party I belong to. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

I FEEL BAD FOR LAUGHING BUT HES HUGE

Two of the most powerful men in the world, also both corrupt manchilden, are finally coming to the most obvious conclusion: they cannot ever trust each other, & the only way to guarantee their power bases is to destroy each other. I wish them the best of luck. Really rooting for them both.

It’s probably bad that the future of America’s government pivots on a fight between Lex Luthor and the Joker

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

I didn’t think this was real

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

On this day in 1932 a Czech Jewish girl was born. On the 10 Aug 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her parents and on the 1 Sep 1942 she was deported to Raasik. They all perished in the Shoah. Her name was Hana Langerová

On this day in 1908, a Czech Jewish girl was born. On the 7 May 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt and on the 9 May 1942 to Sobibór where she perished. Her name was Marie Kohnová Please support @sobibor.org

It’s zero degrees outside and I’m wearing so many layers I’m basically spherical, so mad respect to the girl outside the library in a minidress and thigh high boots

Pō mārie, e te whānau. Our MPs are heading home tonight. Their suspensions may silence them in the House, but not in the movement. Aroha nui to the kaimahi who stand behind them every step, & to every supporter who amplifies their voice outside the chamber. We are unapologetically whānau. #NZPol

Breaking: Putin vows retaliation for strikes in Russia, just not with their strategic bomber fleet.

It's important to get your potassium.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Ah, the golden age.

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

You made it to Wednesday, which means you deserve a new book (or three) 📚

I am so glad "why tariff banana" thought is reaching members of Congress. It's the most obvious example of how insane this administration's trade policy has been—officials like Lutnick can't give a good justification for it because there simply isn't one

This day in UFW History: June 4, 1972. Cesar Chavez ends his 2nd long water-only public fast, of 24 days, in Phoenix, after his native AZ passes a law effectively banning the right of farm workers to organize. He is hospitalized at the end of the fast due to an erratic heartbeat. 1/2

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

We need details on this.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

From American consumers. That’s who.
