BREAKING: As Elon Musk said on X would be happening, I can now report that all federal employees are receiving an email directing them to provide “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week.” It directs them not to send any classified information and is due by 11:59p Monday.

Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

Here is what I did this week: 1. Insulted Trump in every way I could. 2. Mocked Musk (catchy phrase huh?) 3. Insulted Trump in ways I forget to. 4. Mocked a variety of Republican ass hats. 5. Hoarded 3 dozen eggs. And I don't work for the federal government so F**K YOU Trump and Musk!

This isn’t diplomacy, it’s a mob shakedown. “Nice minerals you got there, Ukraine. Hand ’em over or we pull the plug on your internet while Russia bombs your cities.” That’s not leadership; that’s doing Putin’s dirty work. www.rawstory.com/trump-zelens...

In the first two years of Biden’s presidency, Democrats controlled the House and Senate, yet couldn’t pass voting rights, raise the minimum wage, or the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. “But Manchin & Sinema!” They did the bidding of their donors.

Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation Imagine the outrage if this happened in the UK www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I’m just so angry. We are nonstop receiving these intentionally terrorizing emails at all hours of the day and week (or waiting for them to arrive…).

I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Fed employees in agencies do not work for Musk, who is a contractor special government employee in the White House. Fed employees already have performance evaluations, which they submit to their actual bosses, in their agencies. Anyone who fires someone for not responding, is probably breaking laws.

#DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory What can the minority Dem party do? C’mon, y’all. I’m a hard core Dem. Why aren’t they doing this? Hire a press secretary and nationally hit back hard on Trump’s cruel policies every single news cycle. Make the media come to them! Not rocket science.

A trio of book events set to be held on the Jimmy Carter presidential campus in Atlanta were scrapped and moved to other venues in the last week, raising concerns that budget cuts and other changes by Trump’s administration led to the cancellations. #gapol ajc.com/news/crime/p...

Trump: "We are also going to Ft Knox. I'm going to go with Elon. Because we want to see if the gold is still there. Wouldn't that be terrible? ... we open the door, we'll say, 'There's nothing here! They stole this too!'"

Between now and whenever this freak show heads to Ft Knox, can we please get some detailed explainers about Ft Knox including how much gold is there, how it's protected, etc etc. ??? We need some serious, fact-based PRE- BUTTING.

The impeachment for extorting Ukraine in his 1st term. The burning of translator notes. Praising Putin, dumping Russia’s sanctions, spouting Russian talking points & attempts to exit NATO. Exposing our CIA operatives & stealing classified documents. Making it make sense. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory

Because the Carter is the only one of the 13 libraries without a private foundation, it's more at risk for this kind of thing. At the others, most public events are hosted by the respective foundation; it will be interesting to see if Byron interferes with those. Thread: bsky.app/profile/anth...

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.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

"We" don't feel stupid for helping Ukraine. He is just too stupid to understand how the world works. Electing Trump was exponentially dumber than supporting NATO and helping Ukraine. He is literally destroying the US reputation in the world and Vladimir Putin couldn't be happier.

One caution about federal employees sharing Musk's emails. He has claimed that he has embedded watermarks in such emails to find leakers. (Though this probably won't work for more than a few thousand employees). theintercept.com/2022/12/15/e...
