Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Thanks Senators! Quality vote! Wonder what Mr Nazi salute will do with my SSN ?

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Trump is illegally withholding our tax money, dismantling the federal civil service, and promoting science denial and you are still granting unanimous consent requests?!? Why are you in the Senate if you're not brave enough to stand up for us?

If someone treats you badly, it's reflection of their character and not of your value or worth.

All the absolute shittiest bigots in Germany having fun at their reactionary rally and then Elon shows up on a screen that makes each of his awful cheeks the size of a NHL hockey rink and says "I dunt know how many of you know about Pippy the frug," in his Butthead (Boer Version) voice.

gonna start a movement to reclaim public masculinity by putting on a jacket and tie, reading books in public, being friendly to passersby, making funny faces at children, and petting every dog that passes.

It’s so weird that people with enough money to do literally anything for *1000 years* are out there trying to destroy governments to make it 10,000 years. I know I’m naive. But it’s fuckin strange, just go sit on the nicest beach in the galaxy and eat wagyu for every meal, leave us the fuck alone.

Mark Zuckerberg is a complete void, a sociopath desiring nothing more than accumulation which makes him the perfect avatar of capitalism morphing to whatever ideological or cultural currents will increase his own wealth and power

Deleted my Facebook account right after I saw this. Done

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. The news failed do its job. Here is a short summary of the link between climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Reading this latest Jack Smith filing, it occurred to me that people haven’t quite internalized the reality that in all three cases touching on the insurrection on January 6—by far the darkest day for our democracy since the Civil War—the Supreme Court sided with the insurrectionists in all three.

That a Trump win will lead to thousands of dead children and a public health emergency because they will put a lunatic in charge of that stuff is getting very little media attention because the media wants Trump to win and attention on this helps Trump lose.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #327,755!

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Sorry Ken . Full article here: www.thecrimson.com/article/2024...

one of the dangers of a second trump term is that it will be run by these fascist pencil neck dickheads who know they couldn’t win an election for dog catcher on their own personal merits in a race with one candidate, and see trump as the vehicle for their own reign of cruelty.

9.4M jobs lost, 14.8% unemployment, the economy collapsed, daily death tolls greater than on 9/11, the top 10 deadliest days in American history included multiple days in 2020, mass graves and bodies kept in refrigerated trucks, and we couldn't buy water, toilet paper, or masks.

In the same way that McDonnell v U.S. essentially defined government corruption out of existence, Trump v Anderson seems to have done the same for insurrection (and insurrectionists).

@fleerultra.bsky.social How had I never heard of bizarro world 5-4, where a Trump official and the email my wife guy talk about the serious and deliberative legal institution, the Supreme Court? www.newyorker.com/news/persons...
