I’m still waiting for one that’s focused solely on Abe Lincoln’s 300-1 wrestling record

consistent with president donald trump's instructions, all of my mutuals will shortly receive a dm asking if they're mad at me. failure to respond will be taken as a credible death threat

not to just be a doomer but yes, this is right, but it's only right insofar as those employees have a place to go to vindicate those rights. if the MSPB doesn't have a quorum (which is in litigation right now), federal employees can have all the due process rights but they don't have a remedy.

every single transportation conversation ever

trans women will be raped to death. they know this will happen. this is a crucial part of the steps to our genocide.

I feel like folks are gonna look back some years down the road and wonder why more good people didn’t violently resist all this.

Amazing

See, calling Jews “the #1 enemy” is not antisemitism if you do it in support of Israel. Checkmate, woke mob!

Why are people treating these censors like they’re some godlike figures? If they wanna do Nazi stuff they should be mercilessly hounded by the public at every opportunity for doing so.

This is a clear nod to RETVRN white supremacist guys online who’ve reaffirmed old Nazi bullshit equating modern art & architecture with (Jewish) hedonism & degeneracy. Any story that attempts to dig deeper or explore the ‘real reason’ for this is feeding your obfuscating nonsense.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Israel hasn’t stopped bombing and killing people in Lebanon and the West Bank since the ‘ceasefire’ began and Netanyahu was always going to use hostages as grounds for pummeling Gaza some more. He could’ve brought all of them home by Oct 10, 2023 in exchange for not invading Gaza but he said no.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

“Zionist accounts are calling on their zionist vigilantes to "Fight to kill and permanently maim" Palestinians and anti-zionist protestors in NYC, instructing their followers how to make explosives and stabbing weapons.

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

just weeks after being ordered by a federal judge to pay nearly $3mil in damages to a man they assaulted in boston in 2022, patriot front is back in boston marching around in their silly little matching outfits!

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

Amtrak trains have to stop and wait for any cargo to pass through on the same tracks because commodities, not people, have the right of way on our rail lines.

If you see this, share a skeleton 💀

We really went from, “We can’t possibly defund the police,” to “let’s defund everything else.” Smh

It’s not like we were short on evidence for this, but the Supreme Court’s silence in response to Trump’s announcement that he’s just going to ignore a 5-year-old ruling really shows how worthless the Court is as an institution for “doing justice” ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Nobody’s boosting any skills with this dogshit.

Destruction of critical thinking continues apace.

Headline should read “Trump Administration Defies Constitutional Checks and Balances By Blocking Science Funding”

woo boy
