Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Attacking CPFB just so happens to clear the way for X payments www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

This train is always right on time!

Wow RFK Jr works fast. h/t @briangaar.bsky.social for @thebarbedwire.bsky.social thebarbedwire.com/2025/02/10/m...

YouTube backend was icky so please follow us on our new YouTube channel

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

They stole that election He admitted it repeatedly & openly. I am under no delusion we will ever have free & fair elections under a man holding the Treasury hostage, under an unelected and unappointed foreigner deciding amongst himself who gets healthcare & grants www.politico.com/video/2025/0...

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮 It costs around 12K a year…. What a horrible waste of money, Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year. Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

next time you hear the legacy media pontificating about how theres no resistance to trump, remember when they say resistance they mean their subscriber numbers and angry quotes from elected Dems, and don't forget that their task will be to act as the propaganda wing of the regime for the next 4 yrs

A WILD sweep from Steve, and an even wilder slip-up from Shaun 😶‍🌫️ Want more of Season 1's best moments? Relive the laughs from Episode 6 this Friday on our YouTube--and stay tuned as we count down the days to Season 2 👀

Protect trans people in your spaces. The orange dipshit and his cronies can all say whatever they want, but offer time, energy, and support for the trans people you know, even if it’s just breathing room for them to be themselves. And learn to throw a proper punch. For many reasons.

If the NFL was Scripted: Championship Sunday will premiere at 7:30pm ET youtu.be/wdFtd_i6aLE?...

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!

I wrote about Elon Musk cheating at video games because no matter how much money he has, he still has a pathological need to impress the sweats thebarbedwire.com/2025/01/28/e...

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Yesterday was the 3rd biggest day in subscriber growth in this channel's history. We hit 800k subscribers and are now officially less than 200k away from 1 million. On Sunday, February 16th, I will stream until we hit 1,000,000 subscribers or $1M raised for Children of Fallen Patriots.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight. Could not make this up.

The example below is bad, but this one also cracked me up—why would someone who is actively searching for new houses and complaining about their commute need AI to tell them they might wanna move?

The lesson of Pete Hegseth is if you come forward with allegations, nothing will happen except death threats that will be covered in the passive voice by the New York Times

Went on @pablo.show to discuss the TikTok ban and my general discomfort with the reality that so much of news—and how society feels about many things!—is determined not by facts, but an algorithm. Full pod: t.co/XuahklfkIt

From the same group that brought you “if you criticize genocide you’re antisemitic” it’s “that guy who changed a website’s moderation around to support nazis wasn’t actually doing a nazi salute”.

Maybe you just learned an org you thought was a reliable educator about antisemitism is actually more interested in cozying up to fascists, and you're wondering where you CAN go to learn about antisemitism? We got you. Download & read #UnderstandingAntisemitism: www.jfrej.org/news/2017/11...

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I genuinely believe that the salute was a pulse check to see what they’ll be able to get away with, and the media seems to be letting them know it’s everything. Don’t let your craven non-confrontational nature allow you to ignore the obvious (hand) signs.

1. I have never, in my adult life, accidentally popped a sieg hiel 2. If I did, I would issue the most immediate “holy shit my bad guys absolutely not intentional wtf omg fuck hitler I’m so sorry wtf”

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.

What if I told you this show was Black-owned and Produced 👀💜

This is a great informational thread that is clarifying, but doesn't really negate my actual issue. While the personal freedoms are nice perks, you're still being paid criminally low wages. The point still stands, that $5-10 a day even with a 1 dollar bump is allowing the state to side step funding.

Years ago, The Big Team did a Funny or Die sketch about a PR firm for black teens that uses a good photo for them on the news. One of the bits were how I was saving a white woman from a burning building, but they cropped it to make it look like I was kidnapping her, glad it still holds up.

If Texas is anything, it’s big. We asked @briangaar.bsky.social to figure out why we don’t have high speed rail — and whether we’ll ever get it. Learned a lot about Southwest Airlines and lobbyists from editing this piece! thebarbedwire.com/2025/01/13/w...

My sense is Kraft will prioritize long term stability after flip flopping last year, to Vrabel’s benefit. To me they deserve the most criticism for blatantly flouting the Rooney Rule. Seems like Aaron Glenn knew the score.

People always point out that taxing the super-wealthy wouldn't actually raise all that much revenue, but it's becoming clearer that the primary benefit is just taking away their money.

☝️Um, Actually season 10 is coming to Dropout starting January 28th! Host @ifycomedy.com and fact checker @briamgilbert.bsky.social return along with a slew of special guests to challenge contestants with even more pedantic corrections than ever before!
