I always unsubscribe from DNC fundraising emails, and they put me back on their lists. In unsubscribing today I added this comment: When Democrats start acting like they know how to oppose fascism, I'll consider donating. The party is incompetent, and I'll send money to better places for now.

Very pathetic how hundreds of people are literally doing what they know should not be happening because their "hands are tied" and they have to "follow orders". Adherence to a system even if that is actively destroying it is a strange loyalty. If only we had historical examples of why that is […]

Police in Massachusetts say seven #Tesla charging stations were intentionally set on fire and the incident is being investigated as suspicious. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/littleton-massachusetts-tesla-station-fire/

I'm not saying to not pay your taxes because that comes with a significant risk legally and financially, but I would say filing an extension and significantly underestimating your tax liability is always an option. Sure there will be penalties, but the dollar will most likely be much less […]

Fraud is back on the menu! 🍽️ The Treasury just ended enforcement on a business database meant to stop shell companies… 'Member the one Jared Kushner created to funnel $617 million of Trump’s campaign cash to his family back in the day? Yeah, you […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Can't tell you how many times over the last decade I've heard "Russia is a problem but China is the real threat" and disagreed with that statement. I am curious if the complete dismantling of any opposition to Russian interests has changed that opinion for anyone. After the tariffs, I expect […]

I just found what news reports will be like in the next decade: https://youtu.be/bHf6mI3hn3A?si=61BZl0_Q7nzdKWU6

One more piece for The Washington Post to be ashamed of. If you don’t have the balls to run a newspaper, don’t. P.S. Fuck you Mary A. Thiessen. #JeffBezos #WillLewis #WashingtonPost #WaPo #Journalism #FreePress #BoycottAmazon #BoycottWholeFoods #EatTheBillionaires #USPol

hey what if we turned the government into a pump and dump scheme run by dodgy money-laundering oligarchs

I wonder how long toothpicks will hold up an entire economy? And once all this wealth is extracted, then what? I am genuinely curious what the long game is here. Obviously the goal is to devastate economies to push some insanely reactionary agenda, but is that digital feudalism? Is it a return […]

👇🏽🎯 scrap the cap

Can't believe I didn't hear about the Elon effigy in Milan. That was a brutal one.

They may seem like small protests individually, but together they are costing Tesla and Elon Musk billions of dollars. You are doing your part. Keep up the pressure. #3E #EndOligarchy #TeslaTakeDown Find on near you: www.teslatakedown.com

👀 Hundreds of people showed up for an Anti-Elon protest at the Tesla dealership in Tucson. #Tesla #Tuscon #protest #coup

Don't ever tell me pressure doesn't work. Every little bit counts. Via Alex Berg: Fox News sic] reported that [#JDVance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America […]

LOL my friend Rakesh (laid off from USAID) confirms foreign governments are (attempting) to heavily recruiting former US officials. https://bsky.app/profile/densaer.bsky.social/post/3ljdezlwkyc2r

A Trump advisor claimed @w7voa had posted “treasonous” toots in not supporting the federal government. His employer has placed him on leave. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/business/voice-of-america-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.0k4.1rLm.gTMqq72O5Ob2

Given the news that DOD and CISA have stopped protecting the US from Russian hacking, I keep thinking of this tweet. xcancel.com/realDonaldTr...

I like how all these people who had wet dreams of Red Dawn for decades are now effortlessly becoming what they professed to hate. Everyone's the mayor actually. Turns out they just wanted to murder people in the streets and there's a more convenient options for that available now.

What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a […]

My mom told me a couple days ago that my dad was sick. They went his doctor and they got a flu test, but she said the doctor doesn't do COVID tests. I thought that was weird and told my mom to go to the pharmacy and get my dad a COVID test. Well, it was positive. Today she tells me his doctor […]

This is what I would expect to see from intelligence officers and the military but it seems to be lacking in will or cohesion to move forward to logical conclusions. Hopefully there will be some 'on the ground' work within the US soon cause I personally am pessimistic on how large a window to […]

ASMR was not on the list of things I thought Trump would ruin but here we are. I can’t use the word or think about the concept without remembering the ruthless and racist posts of the White House Twitter account.

Tesla had to close their Seattle location due to protests this weekend, more planned next weekend, per Electrek. https://electrek.co/2025/02/24/tesla-protests-gain-momentu-while-the-hate-is-spreading-tesla-owners/ #tesla #protests #swasticar #nazi

Exactly 3 years ago, the USians were also wondering why the Russian people weren't rising up and why everyone was just obeying orders to go to war. There was probably more resistance in Russia against fascism than there is in the US now. I expect no resistance when Trump orders the army to […]

Large corporations are shopping for underground bunkers that can survive a nuclear blast, and the first adopters are mostly cryptocurrency firms, says @Semafor. The facilities are designed to protect data centers and C-suite execs, and cost tens of millions to build. The pitch? The apocalypse […]
