Next time you feel like an imposter, remember that the top journalists & editors at the nation’s leading media organizations looked at Joe Biden & this guy, and decided that Biden was the one with dementia

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

73 percent of Democrats think the party is not doing enough to take on Trump. 5 percent think it's doing too much, per new CNN poll. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

none of these people have any concept of duty or decorum or service, all of them are absolute rat bastards who are unqualified to hold any job and should be ejected from any group of respectable americans.

Yes, that’s right. American conservatives have gone so Nazi that even the far right RN in France, founded by an overtly racist Holocaust denier, wants nothing to do with them. Perspective… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

If you don’t think we’re in a constitutional crisis— I can’t help you— but if you do and you think governors should just politely sit after the president berates a governor and proclaims he is federal law. Man, I don’t know.

Voters keep telling us over and over and over they believed things completely untethered to reality and based their votes on that. Misinformation is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stories of the election.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Take it public if it’s real - they’re all making back channel phone calls like Trump in his first impeachment -“I need you to do me a favor” and exempt my state my friend - instead of challenging the lawless l’etat c’est moi monarchism that they above anyone else have the power to check

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!
