Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Big day for child predators.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.

And that wasn’t idle speculation. The ADA came about in large part because of the dramatic protests of disabled activists. This was the “Capitol Crawl” in March 1990. The ADA finally passed in the House soon after.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

Red alert!

This is Musk's new pinned tweet. - It's Latin meaning "no one provokes me and gets away with it." - He attributes it to Sulla, the Roman general who marched on Rome, named himself dictator and launched a notorious reign of terror, executing much of the city's elite. - It's never linked to Sulla.

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

The “we need immigrants to work our farms & work construction” argument does not work to deter them on deportation. They have already been prepping for that. Their answer will be slavery. They are just going to expand prison work crews & allow more business to lease prisoners.

The weirdest thing about Americans embracing Nazism or the Confederacy in the name of patriotism is that actual American patriots fought *against* both of those movements and won decisively. You’re celebrating a loser movement.

It's like the leopard walked into a Golden Coral full of faces.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Jesus laying down his life out of love for the world rather than using all cosmic and political power to force the world to obey him will forever be the greatest critique of any Christian movement that seeks to secure power in order to ensure that others conform to their will.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Christian that Franklin Graham failed to be.

Last October, right before the election, Dimon was warning about inflation coming from increased wages among the bottom 20%. But now inflation's no big deal if Trump causes it.

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

Who coulda anticipated that -Trump would pretend to be against the TikTok ban all along -Trump would pull a Reagan-Iran on Gaza -the GOP would block a bipartisan immigration bill then blame Biden -Trump, despite trying a coup, would return formidably -the GOP would gerrymander in 2010 …

The very very sad thing is that this will be tremendously effective. *Tens of millions* of TikTok users in the U.S. will 100% believe this, as gospel, and not even think to question it in any way. "Trump saved TikTok" is fact now. Manufactured fact, but fact nonetheless.

He wants so desperately to be profound, but instead this stuff comes across as super weird and uncomfortable.

I feel seen

Guess I’ll give this a go. 🤷
