Last I checked, America has no kings and political officials can't be granted such royal things, or did I misread the Constitution?

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often the avoidance of loss. So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses not averted?

I'm less worried about the blatantly illegal orders (I didn't say not worried, I said less worried) as I am about the legal but stupid or legal but morally wounding, or grey area setting us up for illegal action orders. Cuz all of those come first.

This has always been the plan. Privatize everything. Everything for profit. No social services. No public safety net. Move it all to the private sector. De-regulate it. Then extort and extract as much money out of the American population as possible for worse and worse services.

It is more important than ever to remember: when some asshole is arguing a right wing talking point in your emotions, don’t get your licks in. Stop imagining you’re the one who’s really gonna make them think. Don’t get distracted. Block. Block. Block.

Was trying to remember why I had mentally bookmarked him and it was because last summer Colombian tabloids spread a rumor he was having an affair with Linda Yepes, a transgender newscaster. Not only did he refuse to deny it but decried transphobia as akin to Nazism

I'm just blocking defeatist, doomer people now. I'm sorry you're tired and despondent. So am I. So have been many throughout history. Doesn't matter. You still get back up, tired and despondent, and fight. If you can't do that, at least shut the fuck up.

Plenty of actual, literal, historical German Nazis operating under Hitler were just narcissistic assholes willing to do anything for power. The "are they true believers in their hearts of hearts" question isn't the litmus test for Nazism.

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.

Either what Trump is doing right now is flagrantly utterly out of bounds and must be immediately stopped by any and all measures, ordinary or extraordinary, or the Democrats could've been doing the same all along in support of their own ostensible goals. Either way: no fucking excuse.
