Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, has arrived in Moscow to speak at the pro-Kremlin “Future Forum 2055,” organized by the Tsargrad Institute led by ultranationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin. While there, he claimed his son made a “huge mistake” by falling out with Donald Trump.

The results were never impressive and often plain wrong, but there was a chance it could put millions out of work, so we destroyed the planet.

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

This is what Nemik was talking about. Authority - especially tyrannical authority - is so, so, so brittle.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.

Seit Monaten versuchen Union & rechte Medien einen Skandal zu stricken, wo keiner ist. Ja, NGOs bekommen Gelder von der EU, um der Lobbymacht mächtiger Konzernlobbys etwas entgegenzusetzen. Und nein, die EU-Kommission sagt ihnen nicht, was sie konkret tun sollen! www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

This is exactly why we were saying defund the police. The police are the vanguard of authoritarian regimes.

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

one thing about americans, we will make our own lives worse and more expensive if it means a group we think is “undeserving” gets punished

Musk installed Starlink satellite internet at the White House without notifying cybersecurity officials, the WaPo reports. SpaceX engineers accessed the Eisenhower Building roof without Secret Service clearance. Starlink bypasses official monitoring systems, creating major security risks.

❗️A new video of Operation #Spiderweb was published by the Security Service of #Ukraine. It shows the FPV drone flying out of the module house, flying quite a distance and arriving in Belaya airfield where smoke from already hit aircraft is visible. There are no obstacles on the drone's route.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

The Trump administration is trying to get Senator Lindsey Graham to "significantly weaken his Russia-sanctions bill" while the White House seeks to patch up its relationship with Moscow, reports WSJ. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Hey Austin, this is why we need you out in the streets documenting Tesla's dangerous and irresponsible self-driving experiment! If you see Teslas with manufacturers plates, take photo and video (or descriptions of behavior you see) and post them with the hashtag #fauxbotaxi. Public info is key!

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

“Her lawyer’s in the bathroom.” Trump’s masked ICE Gestapo snatches a woman when her lawyer goes to the bathroom, then forcibly carries her into an elevator after she appears to faint.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

Illinois Congresswoman and notorious bigot Mary Miller posted an Islamophobic tweet this morning, realized she had made a mistake, and then posted an anti-Sikh tweet. She has since deleted the anti-Sikh tweet.

The problem, which Mike Johnson knows, is that these officers aren't even identifying themselves as federal agents or law enforcement. Allowing them to hide their identities allows them to hide from accountability. No names, no badges, no warrants, no due process, no hearings, no justice.

I can’t understand, after the last 30 years of it happening EVERY TIME, how people think AI is going to stay free Once everyone’s reliant, it’ll cost a fortune we just “have” to pay Its energy needs will cost us the only world we have All so someone doesn’t have to write their own Reddit shitpost

Merz getting out of Washington with Trump too distracted to target Brussels, Berlin or Kyiv with stupid shit is a win for Germany

While Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue their public break up and tear down, the real story is the man replacing Musk at DOGE: Russell Vought. Democracy Docket dug into Vought and his plans to wreak havoc on millions of Americans. Fund reporting that focuses on facts and cuts through the noise.

Putin won

A $152 billion Twitter feud.

Trump coup d’état time. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are going to try to coup d’état Trump to put JD Vance in power. The Kremlin propagandists are backing Musk as well.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

The most alpha thing of all time: two old men typing on their phones while crying

Yes… Hahaha… Yes!

Here it is: Musk thinks he is owed a say in Trump’s policy because of how much he spent on the campaign.
