Ashley St. Clair has filed a paternity petition and a petition for custody against Elon Musk in NY state court. St. Clair seeks sole custody of the child she says she shares w/ Musk. Paternity suit: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewD... Custody suit: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewD...

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

Such policies alas play into the far-right's hands by further undermining academia.

*stares in Black*

Remembering tonight these very racist rants from the campaign trail that nobody seemed to take seriously at the time. Welp.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

A terrorist attack right now would cripple us a nation. The head our armed forces, a fucking talk show host, got the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff fired and a fucking 4 star general the pink slip because he’s an ignorant racist piece of shit

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

So what does it say about the non military places that pushed out Black women

If the look is lit you MUST acquit

Hey, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, you gotta sell that tesla, bro.

Sure would be nice if the U.S. continued funding stuff like “vaccines for pancreatic cancer.”

Musk’s conflict with astronauts expands to include Scott and Mark Kelly:

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

For all our American neighbours who may be struggling to find accurate health information - thr Public Health Agency of Canada has a website you are more than welcome to use: www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

The threat is also a reminder that Trump has taken over the GOP, but has not interest in the party beyond its usefulness to him and his cult of personality. This makes the stoogeification of the party all the more pathetic.

The idea that a political leader is the living embodiment of the Constitution/people/volk/spirit of the nation is straight up, classical fascism.

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

He’s a racism test And he knows it and he knows white people won’t actively adress it and he’s right And he’s spun it out in ever widening circles Because no one will stop to care about those he targets

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

This is Nichols reverting to type, albeit based on extensive declarations from Peter Marocco, a J6 insurrectionist who never faced charges and who now essentially runs the remnant of USAID for Trump.

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

Every liberal "paper of record": maybe the fascists have a point Eater: Know your rights

the “computer expert” who owns X — where hundreds of millions of posts are sent a day — thinks computers can only do a few things at a time

I know so many people find Luigi hot, but I'm Italian and he looks just like my baby cousins and I just can't see it.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Seeing calls for an economic blackout on February 28th. And then I’m seeing people recommending buying stuff the day before in order to “make it through”. No. People. That’s not how this works. Renounce whatever you would’ve bought on February 28th.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

Trump is so cool because he understands that 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 is the morally consistent position and then takes the opposite of it.

Oh my fucking god.

We all know at least one white woman whose response is the very hands-off "look for the helpers" quote from Mr. Rogers... My fellow white people, it is our job to tell them to get off their ass and be that fucking helper.

Hearing rumors that fed cuts to media subscriptions includes OCLC Connexion in some federal libraries. That would be a gutting of the infrastructure that rings my alarms. Anybody know more?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The best MRI I ever I had was when I had my shoulder checked out. The valium kicked in just I got in the machine and Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" came out of the speakers. OH MY GOD. It was like I was in my own private little disco and completely enveloped by rhythm. I was so high.

LC gave one day's notice to change the subject heading to "Gulf of America" but its own country code for Zimbabwe still references the white supremacist-run Rhodesia, which gained internationally-recognized independence as Zimbabwe in... 1980
