šŸ“£ DC friends - please consider supporting this rally on Wednesday, February 19th!

A narrative tic worth noting: When Biden pardoned Hunter, lots of ppl erupted saying ā€œthis empowers Trump to do the same.ā€ But when Trump says he is above the law, no one replies ā€œthis will empower a future Dem to think the same.ā€ And not bc ā€œthere wonā€™t be one.ā€ Itā€™s deeper than that.

šŸ’Æ agree.

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

Republican lawmakers in Utah are advancing a bill that would allow schools to fly swastika flags and Confederate flags while banning Pride flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Anyone knows a financial advisor that is NOT a republican?

Look, I'm beginning to have doubts whether Musk really is that big of a genius.

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

Write to your repā€¦ call them, what are they doing????

ā€œMark my words. ā€¦ They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, ā€¦ and, once that happensā€”I hope it doesn't ā€¦ but I know in my heart that it willā€”our 236-year experiment ā€¦ in American constitutionalism, is over.ā€

This is as good a summary as any of Trump's approach to government: it's awful and I don't know anything about it

I confess I really, really, really, really did Nazi this one coming

ā€œTacticā€

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still wonā€™t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Dear media: if you can't bother *to post the actual court opinion* could you at least *name the case* clearly so I can pay the PACER fees to post it for you?

New ā€” I did a brief history of the ā€˜Fork in the Roadā€™ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

New OMB Director Russell Vought claimed we are living in a "post Constitutional time" Republicans are trying very hard to make sure this is true

Dozen eggs organic on Jan 19 $9.99 ā€¦. Same eggs on Feb 5 $11.99. Fact!

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Must youtu.be/CVgNJf6CsBA?...

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.

Yikes.

Democrats should follow NJ Senator Andy Kim. Speak upā€¦ donā€™t normalizeā€¦. Be BOLD. www.local3news.com/regional-nat...

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work šŸ‘

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

This is a nightmare!!!!

ā€œTheirs is a logic of destruction. It is very hard to create a large, legitimate, functioning government. The oligarchs have no plan to govern. They will take what they can, and disable the rest. The destruction is the point.ā€

People in CA will get help if they do what told. Priority is voting IDā€¦ donā€™t forget the priorities here

And here it isā€¦

Make them accountableā€¦. Italian far right Prime Minister has one big one on her conscience todayā€¦

Evil

Donā€™t miss the real issue here. Republican said that the new President will NOT pardon Jan6 that committed crime. But that was a lie. Gave the OK to commit violence on their name. Vance lied they all lied. Donā€™t waste time on Elon ā€¦. They all play the game to make us distracted.

Drop Tik Tokā€¦.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."
