Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company?” -Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), US author, anthropologist, filmmaker #WomensArt

As Trump continues to filet our government and ignore our Constitution, several people are speaking out and challenging our would be king. These include (but are not limited to) Gov Pritzker of Illinois, Gov Mills of Maine, and, my favorite, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland. Others will follow.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Our posts shall be swift and intelligent betwixt us.

speaking of this admin saying fuck you to rural communities: nobody's gonna deliver mail to my mom and dad in the boonies except USPS. they live on a mile long unincorporated dirt road outside the city limits of the nearest town ( of 3000 people)

I have voted absentee via USPS in every election for roughly twenty years. Including overseas. This wouldn’t be the first time Republicans tried to disenfranchise the military.

The USPS is the only government agency mandated by the Constitution. Once it is gone there is nothing left to stop the shredding of the Constitution and setting fire to the remains in the fireplace of the Oval. The USPS moves 47% of the world's mail daily. Imagine the world disruption this causes.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

"Grand Theft Government": Federal Workers Send SOS over Musk-Led Mass Firings, Service Cuts

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

11 year old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza of Gainesville, Texas, took her own life after classmates bullied her into thinking ICE was being called on her family. I hope and pray that the parents of her bullies burn in hell for raising such God awful “children.”

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is temporarily closed after Elon Musk fired members of its staff.

#resist #poliart

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.
