My brother who is a genius has worked as an engineer for NASa all his adult life. He worked selflessly supporting our space program apolitically for decades. Tonight he doesn’t know if he will have a job tomorrow because of a fool named Elon Musk .

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

As usual, we need to look to foreigner perspectives for the truth since our media is largely silent, mealy-mouthed, or sanewashing the nonsense: youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Suggested changes: The far-right AfD, backed by JD Vance and Elon Musk, was rejected by 80 percent of voters, exit polls suggest. Mainstream parties plan to form a coalition without them because voters don't want them to govern.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I respect FIRE’s legal advocacy but reporters really need to stop using FIRE’s rankings unless you truly believe that campus speech is most free in southern states that have banned ideas and concepts from being taught in the classroom

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Keep flooding Congress with calls & letters about DOGE, the cuts and stories about how it is affecting people Especially calls to Republicans. They are in panic mode Consider using @5calls.org to contact your officials. It's easy-peasy www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier. Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

New, from me: Stepping back from the flood of news, I outline three ways to understand how Trump 2.0 is different from his first, or any prior, presidency: personalism, governing by fear, and purges. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-person...

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Alexei Navalny supporters visit grave on first anniversary of his death

Amazing day out here and across the country! We have over 70 people at this store in Pasadena. Won't post shots of the crowd, up to others if they want to. This is just the beginning! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

MAKE AMERICA DEAD AGAIN.

#TeslaTakedown 🔥

Senator Bernie Sanders always speaks the truth. youtu.be/d_yEAXM9sSE?...

A flyer posted on Van Buren Street in the Loop: “WE WILL NOT RESIGN. Sincerely, Local Federal Workers”

They killed a million US citizens with their covid mismanagement. 1,000,000. Four years later it is never discussed and they won reelection and control even more of the government. Voters are dumb.

100 years of gaslighting is beginning to wear off.

can’t teach the history of the navy to future naval officers, apparently

"Like the abolitionists of the 19th century arrayed against the planter class, today we need to break the economic, ideological and political foundations of billionaire rule." @lfelizleon.bsky.social for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

Thanks to all of you, #TeslaTakedown is gathering real momentum. Come out tomorrow in your city, in peaceful protest, to send a message to the illegitimate king that he's not invulnerable. Sign up to an event or create one in your town at the link: Teslatakedown.com

Here's a report Trump's DOGE guy at Treasury is using to justify snooping at Treasury. It cites as much as $281.4B in improper payments (for FY 2021, which started in October 2020). But much of this is COVID related. And what is not was also a problem under Trump. www.gao.gov/assets/gao-2...

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

This, exactly. "Oh, it's just a little thing, we can do that. ... Well, this is a bit worse, but I guess we can go along with that too. .... Huh, this seems a lot but what choice do we have now?"

feels similar to how the Soviet dictatorship was set up. the nominal presidency is quickly becoming meaningless, while dictatorial power accumulates at DOGE by planting commissars in every agency talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/not-h...

"for a combination of reasons, consumer rejection could be uniquely devastating to Tesla right now." slate.com/business/202...

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

Excellent point indeed.

There should be more noise about the perils of the SAVE act and the targeted suppression of Democrats’ right to vote. 🗳️ www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The SAVE Act is built to disenfranchise voters, plain and simple.

🖋️ “Vote NO on the SAVE Act!” hit 3,000 signers!

SAVE Act: “…Driver’s licenses—including REAL IDs—as well as military or tribal IDs do not satisfy the bill’s requirements.” Put this on blast and repeat. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The SAVE Act is systemic misogyny. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of women--those who changed their name after marriage but don't have either a birth certificate or a passport with their new legal name.

To take this seriously: Most of these are spending on DEI & LGBTQ issues. But Trump has banned any agency from spending on these topics in the future. His position is that lawful actions that align with a past President's agenda are grounds for firing all employees and shutting down the agency.
