I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

"Elon Musk is the undisputed champion of making money for Elon Musk. As effectively the CEO of the United States of America? Very bad. Embarrassing, honestly..." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

Hate to break it to you, Senator, but Trump is not Neville Chamberlain. As misguided and naive as Chamberlain was, he was at least acting in good faith and in what he believed was the cause of peace. Trump is Joachim von Ribbentrop—or worse.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Blaming Ukraine for being brutally invaded by Russia. Putin is really getting his money’s worth.

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

Good Advice: Make sure to assign his actions to the entire REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION/REPUBLICANS so they all take responsibility because he can act because of their silence

NEW Elon Musk’s DOGE is seeking access to a heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, sparking alarm within the tax agency.

L'État, c'est moi! Let’s give them a 1789!

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

Here we have the perfect crystallization of corporate spinelessness meeting authoritarian vanity, producing what might be called, if one were feeling generous, a masterclass in institutional prostitution.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

As of now, every one of us must trust all our personal data, and every dollar we’re entitled to receive from the government, to Elon Musk’s unenforceable assurances and those of some faceless guys he’s recruited to do his bidding and expand his riches. THIS CANNOT STAND. search.app/7js847Udg3RW...

We used to boycott South Africa for apartheid.

Stop privately discussing it and fucking do it. www.axios.com/2025/02/04/s...

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I talk about populism. Populism includes a range of political stances with the focus on the idea of the “common people” in opposition to the “elites”. In recent decades, populism has been on the rise around the world, especially in the US & Europe. 1/25

Good piece from @anandwrites.bsky.social

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …
