Why are the rest of the Dems still sitting there. Cowards.

Trump just embarrassing himself calling the guy who said "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" weak. That is a warrior. You are a coward.

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out-
because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

This is great 👇

Major Universities: Quietly bow to Trump and cut DEI initiatives and research hoping Trump will play nice. Trump: Slashes their funding anyway. You can't appease your way out of fascism and Universities should have known better, but the next best line to draw is here.

To Democrats complaining they are being expected to do too much in the minority: You spent 20-22 with a majority in Congress and told us the Republican minority was the reason you couldn't do anything. You were lying then, are bad at using a majority, or are bad at being the minority.

Between labor shortages on farms and processing plants and a reduction in FDA inspections, this years "Hot Girl Summer" is the "Salmonella Shitshow"

Trump's administration gave a white supremacist access to every American's social security number with almost no supervision.

For the folks in the back, criticizing our reps isn't attacking them or ‘calling the wrong people’. Prodding them works, and will move the needle. They have the power to shift the GOP on the hill, not us. Keep pushing them.

Ah, NYT is finally writing real headlines again!

📣 Transgender rights are human rights 📣 All people have the right to live free from discrimination.

You could not pay me to fly with a current gen AI on charge of air traffic

If in today's (or any) protest 👇

Time to bring back ol' reliable: Q: What do you call a German who sat back to wait and see what Hitler would do? A: A goddamn Nazi.

My god, my parents, who are probably the most avid news watchers outside of myself that I interact with regularly, hadn't even heard of Musks OBM takeover. The press is complicit in this state takeover.

I too, would like the record to show I told you so.

Federal Student Loan Neltnet portal is currently unreachable.

I don't know if this is literally true. But it helps to clarify some arguments that @mcopelov.bsky.social and I are pulling together about the political economy of crypto and state power. If tech billionaires are massively overleveraged on two products that nobody wants, only the state can save them

It’s a lesser point but the idea that AI will immediately prove a useful tool for streamlining government is by itself such a ludicrous tell. It’s a separate indicator of the staggering overconfidence these children have.

Finally some actual opposition and actual leadership from an elected official.

And here is Elon Musk, who apparently believes it is a Federal Crime to identify those who are commiting Federal Crimes.

Shame on them. I do hope they'll be electing new leadership shortly.

Little did I expect Donald Trump would make the events of "Canadian Bacon" into a documentary, but there we are.

Support Canadian alternatives!

Agreed. I stopped donating a few weeks ago and will not start again until I start seeing some good ideas and strong opposition.

Boycott the Democratic Party. They should not get a cent until they start acting like opposition leaders. Give your money to organizations doing the work to oppose Trump. Invest in mutual aid networks. The Democrats should have to work for our support, and they are not doing that.

They are going to put children in a torture center. There is no way this ends without death camps unless we stop Trump's regime.

Republicans finally telling people who they are out loud

The coordination between Canada and Mexico to target their retaliatory tariffs with goods that will most impact Trump voting states is *chef's kiss"

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

There isn't going to be any literal book burning, if you are waiting for that, it's not coming. The scrubbing of government websites and data -IS- the book burning. It is happening right now.

Reports emerging that Musk has succeeded in accessing the Treasury Payment System. All bets are off. Expect the government not to pay out on anything.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.
