Submitting my resume today… for a job I’ve had for over three years. Fuck you Cheeto, fuck you Elmo, fuck you EVERY LAST MEMBER OF THE REGIME. Your inept attempt at anything resembling governance is an abject failure.Fuck off. Hold the line. #fucktrump #resist #fuckmusk #teslatakedown #50501movement

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

The time that Elon Musk got told it exactly as it is.

The Dino Run 2 engineers are world-class, IMO. 2 people, 3000 miles apart, one of whom has rural (satellite) internet, playing a game of egg-toss like they are in the same room. It's a massive achievement for our tiny team and light years ahead of what we could do in Dino Run 1!

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. Tax the rich.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Well the gargling just got intense

Because it’s not like a 10% tariff means you’re gonna pay 10% more for something……. Oh wait

Protect health care, everywhere.

Trump: "There's my friend -- Blacks for Trump. I like that guy. He follows me ... everybody thinks I pay you a fortune. I don't even know who the hell he is."

I guess they think only immigrant truckers will fail.

Since 2011 or so, Hungary has been what is known as a “hybrid regime”—not a totalitarian dictatorship, but not a real democracy, either. Is the same thing happening in the U.S.? nyer.cm/YxWG7w0

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

it genuinely makes me sad that elon musk is intentionally bringing dozens of children into this world to only torment them and their mothers, using them as a political tool if possible. it’s wild this isn’t even the most evil aspect of elon musk

Imagine.

Baby mama drama continues for the DOGE man.

More WotC bullshit and bullying. If it happens regularly, it's not a gaffe or a mistake. It's a trend. When a company tells you who they are, believe them.

lol 😂

Very good news from our friends at @stopfundinghate.bsky.social who have forced The Telegraph to delete a particularly dishonest piece of journalism and pay their legal costs. stopfundinghate.info/2025/04/01/t...

Teslas don't use any of the fancy stuff other self-driving cars do. They just like, use a couple cameras and hope for the best? Well, it turns out that's fine, because humans (the thing self driving is explicitly trying to replace) don't either.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

Since we are discoursing about academics it’s also probably good for everyone to remember that academics are some of the *first* people that authoritarians target Also feeling forced to leave your home country is hard because it is no longer safe for you is hard, not fun

honestly a little surprised that this is getting full scandal treatment from the press and i think one reason is that it is secretive. high ranking officials were *hiding* something and the (idiotic) aphorism that the "cover-up is worse than the crime" has kicked the scandal instinct into gear.

S&P: “.. We see a 25% probability of a U.S. recession starting in the next 12 months.” 🇺🇸

Hey look! We found the waste, fraud and abuse.

100% this!

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...
