Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Not. A. Single. Freaking. Time. Have. They. Trashed. Russia. For. Exterminating. Ukraine. Instead. Of. Blaming. Ukrainians. For. Resisting.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

A series of mistakes by DOGE shows just how arbitrary and destructive this slash-and-burn strategy can get. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

"...over the weekend he concluded that wasn't enough. It was in his nature to want total control... Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place or felt threatened, it took him back to the horrors of being bullied on the playground. Now, he had the chance to own the playground."

Humanity created a massive tool for social control and placed it in the hands of the worst people possible techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...

Inform friends, family, and social media followers. Everyone needs to know about the psychopathic agenda of Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk. america2.news/content/file...

This Game of Thrones quote feels especially poignant: “Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king.”

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

Fucking Elon, fix your shit, we don't want to die because you're a failure. "So far, we've been lucky and no-one has been hurt but the more we put into the Earth's orbit, the more likely it is that our luck will run out."

Just discovered that Don Bacon posted this last Friday.

Google warns that hackers tied to Russia are tricking Ukrainian soldiers with fake QR codes for Signal group invites that let spies steal their messages. Signal has pushed out new safeguards.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

This.

This is unacceptable. Scientists from around the world should protest en masse as well as everyone else.

“Elon Musk is not the leader of DOGE — the mysterious Trump administration operation overseeing an effort to break and remake the federal bureaucracy. In fact, he’s not even technically part of it at all, the White House said in court papers Monday night.” www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Did bureaucrats in the US plot to cut the crypto industry out of the banking system? An investigation begins.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

Trump is asking state leaders to follow the DOGE lead. He wants state forces created so that citizens have limited refuge from tyranny. Iowa just set up a DOGE task force and it won't stop there. governor.iowa.gov/press-releas...

Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems.  This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

The FAA is going to be privatized. Musk is positioning himself to be the buyer. That's the only headline here. Musk wants to make the FAA part of Space X. www.rawstory.com/musk-sends-s...

A critical point.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that
