Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

FFS the corruption is so blatant. We could really hurt billionaires if we collectively decided that crypto is a scam (and it is). Stop using it, stop hyping it, wipe out billions in unrealized gains.

The second Saturday of Portland #TeslaTakedown protests at the Macadam store had more people, more signs, and a lot more honking. The momentum is real, people are only getting more angry, let's keep hitting Elon where it counts!

1/? White people, you need to understand something. Most Black people are disgusted by you. You have a problem and you have had that problem for 500 years. Your whole culture is built on "more". To paraphrase the late Nikki Giovanni, you have no concept of "enough".

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Man he really called it

Remarkable stuff in the texts between Musk and St. Clair in the exhibits to her paternity position. He’s really into making babies!

CURTIS YARVIN. It is very important that we all know who he is and what he wants. It ain't good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

If, like me, you have not been aware of who Curtis Yarvin is, please read on. It is important to understand who he is, what he stands for and who he influences. Steel yourself. This guy is a sick MoFo with apparent significant connections up to and including current events.

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Help us build out our rapidly growing list of townhalls where GOPs got rocked last week over people who hate the Elon and DOGE crime spree talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/ye-ol...

Elon is fighting to pay $2K in child support for 3 kids, getting sued for custody by another mother of his child, is estranged from another daughter… And this is who the party of “family values” is turning the keys to the country over to?

This needs to get to mainstream media now.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

The tech oligarchs want their sweet federal subsidies, even if it means robbing your grandma to pay for them.

Lots of liberals defended SpaceX over the years by insisting that the "Brilliant" COO Gwynne Shotwell was the "adult in the room" WSJ showed last year that she helped administer his creepy, intern rape and harassment breeding cult at the company www.wsj.com/business/elo...

It’s helpful to remember that Musk is a self-promoting carnival barker and not a real engineer/scientist. That’s why these guys can’t do math. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

What’s that you say? People like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and their attorneys wielding complex narratives for their own ends, which do not align with the facts of reality? Could it be any other way?

Leaving aside just about everything else about the bill, here are facts we can all agree are true: Every other bill that changed Del corp law explicitly said it didn't apply to pending cases. This one doesn't. Musk's appeal was just filed before the Del. SCt.

"This is also where elderly people can apply for Medicare, which doesn’t have physical outposts of its own. And it’s where hearings are held — due process provided — for beneficiaries who believe that they have been unfairly kicked off of desperately needed assistance."

Trump’s embrace of Russia is not new. This goes back a long time. It’s just more obvious now.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

If you want to see where all this is gonna go and quickly, look up Curtis Yarvin, the philosopher and inspiration behind the entire 2025 playbook
