Just got a fundraising email from Nancy Pelosi. I wish democrats would fight for democracy as hard as they fundraise. It's a spine problem, not a money problem.

By far the worst thing Elon has done so far is make me agree with Steve Bannon

This is disgusting. Shame on me for expecting more of Apple. I shouldn’t be surprised though as Tim Cook has been folding like cheap tent to Trump. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/11/apple-maps-gulf-of-america/

Say what you want about Nancy Pelosi, but she put up a hell of a fight against Trump compared to @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.

Someone at work tried this today and sent an invite for an event we are having. It was clunky af. And I have an iPhone and an iCloud account. My poor android co-workers.

Soon he will be suing people for not buying Teslas like he is suing advertisers for not advertising on X.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

I am very excited for the Timeline apps. Although, the design of this one does not sit well with me. The timeline apps are here

@fitzthereporter.bsky.social @anniegaus.bsky.social @sfchronicle.com @sfstandard.com @griffgaff.bsky.social - I would love to see a local journalist find out from our elected local leaders why they continue to use X as their primary platform of communication while it's CEO overtakes our government.

Why in the world does Apple think it needs an invite app? Tim Cook needs to be spending less time at Trump dinners and more time trying to understand the true definition of innovation. Apple Invites

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

While there’s a lot of justified outrage these days, people need to remember who gave Trump power in the first place (hint: over half of American voters). More rage needs to be directed here, not the puppet.

I hate reposting screenshots since it’s easy for them to be fake. I verified this tweet existed on X though.

Deleted Threads tonight. Pretty easy to do since I never got as sucked in. I don’t use Facebook anymore, but I can’t delete it yet. With my dad passing away a few months ago, I find myself going to his profile and looking at pictures and reading past messages.
