A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

It’s not Nazism unless it comes from the Hitler region of Eastern Europe. This is just sparkling white power.

These guys that want to dismantle Dept of Education send their own kids to prep schools in New England/Ivy Leagues most of USA could never afford, let alone get into without the conveyer-belt of country club to C-suite logistics that protect white gerontocracy & conservative ‘Chrisitian’ mediocrity.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

Call your senators and representatives. Call their offices in your state and in DC. Tell them that you will not tolerate their dereliction of duty to allow a guy off the street to march through our government’s offices and citizens’ private information. Not now, not ever.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.
