Apparently, Grok is the only reliable thing Elon Musk has paid people far smarter than him to create.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

Loosely Translated for clarity: The ABA is very fucking aware that Trump is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. The ABA speaks for the entire Judicial Branch when it confirms that the OrangeHitler/Elmo administration is trying to create an illegal Dictatorship.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

Just calling it like I see it.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets. This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

President Trump said the entity would focus on cutting government waste and slashing federal regulations, and he put tech billionaire and adviser Elon Musk in charge.

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations. Watch my latest video: youtu.be/2hVMghqarHY?...

When it comes to the American presidency, one should never conflate power with greatness. Here's how NOT to describe the Trump presidency: robertreich.substack.com/p/how-not-to...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

Trump is halting support for popular programs that millions of Americans — especially children, students, and seniors — rely on. All while gearing up to give his billionaire buddies and giant corporations another giant tax cut.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

The egg industry has been impacted by a surge of bird flu cases, with more than 13 million egg-laying hens dying in December. That means a dozen large, Grade A eggs cost an average of $4.15 -- a nearly 37% increase from the year before. via @kcur.org

It WASN'T a Nazi salute. Like Twitter, he's ✌️re-brand-ing✌️ Sheesh, people. What should he call his N̷a̷z̷i̷ new salute?

You are here:

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin. And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses. Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand. But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy. I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...

There's no better way to honor King than to build community. As we brace for the next four years, I’m grateful to everyone who joined us to create a space for healing & empowerment. Together we're powerful & together we'll create the just & equitable world that King envisioned.

Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.

Share. The more more people are aware the better. Some of us have the privilege of being able to be "safer" (whatever that means) while most more than likely do not have any resources & are feeling the effects. Support if you can. Check in on your trans friends. Keep each other safe.

Mulling over the ideas in this podcast. This has been one of my absolute favorite podcasts for the HR/Talent field, right up there with HBR IdeaCast.

Having had a variety of relationship structures in my life -- including at one point being in a triad with a male and a female partner for several years, and now in a monogamous relationship, I grow weary of the "polyamory is so much better" trope.
