So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

In the original German it's called Machtergreifung.

In the past few days, I’ve come to realize how rampant far-right disinformation is in Europe and the UK. It’s mind boggling. Talking to various older Brits, Germans, Italians who were NOT right-wing cranks, I heard them say: 1/

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Relax everyone, he’s just trolling us…

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CxG...

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Poor bastards on nuclear subs will surface in a month and find they’ve been fired.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

As suspected, Gitmo was all for show and an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Today in history, 1898: A white lynch mob murders Frazier Baker, the Black postmaster of Lake City, S.C., and his infant daughter Julia. The whites vehemently opposed his appointment to the position and had terrorized him for six months. /1

This is great! Many apologies to our Canadian friends, eh! 🇨🇦

"The barbarians are not at the gate; they’re inside, burning and pillaging."

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

#UkrainianView That is what happens when you can only bully the victim, but show weakness in front of the aggressor.

19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. #DOGE #Musk #DomesticTerrorists #SturmbahnfuhrerMusk

If Mark Zuckerberg were to de-algorithize FB and give it to the world as a nonprofit global resource, he'd have all the admiration and respect he craves and more

My favourite part of the new Captain America movie is when he tries to extort Wakanda for $500b in Vibranium rights before "ironically" teaming up with Hydra to own the libs.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Timeline cleanser.

When the cat is away the mice come out to play. Pax Americana was far from perfect but it will be missed.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Imagine how many brilliant minds and souls will be deterred beyond unsupported in the fallout from the misguided if not cruel roll back of thousands upon thousands similar programs. Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day is cancelled per executive order. #dei #evil #viilainous

Didn’t realize that the Daily Beast was coerced into taking it down.

It’s 2026, and the three highest grossing movies are about the dark side of egg smuggling.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Historically, purging the military is generally a very bad sign.

Let’s be 100% clear. The postal service is literally in the Constitution, explicitly assigned as a congressional power. If Congress wants to abolish or privatize it, that’s up to Congress. The President can’t just wake up one day and do it on his own.

Feels like a good time to revisit this old gem
