Musk shadowbanned her.

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

pedo-con theory

What sort of "government like a business" Musk is up to? My reach on Bluesky is a fraction of what it was on the old place, but damn I wish I could help folks reframe old tired narratives that trap us into fighting yesterdays battles. Anyway, I like this thread. 🧵

Oh, and the Trump / GOP budget reduces / eliminates the child tax credit, eliminates mortgage home deduction, eliminates student loan interest, reduces food stamps, and cuts Medicaid and Medicare - all of this so the morbidly wealthy can get tax breaks on the backs of hard-working Americans. #FAFO

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

This is what we voted for - sorry child.

So when does the Golden Age of America start because right now I'm just seeing a lot of good people losing their jobs and a lot of planes crashing

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

Who needs public health when you can have mass mortality? This is what Trump and RFK Jr.'s #MAHA is all about. Murdering Americans Handily Again.

I cannot stress how an overwhelming number of Americans would be outraged by this if they knew it was happening. So tell them. You low information voter friends. Your Trump-ish relatives. Tell them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...

Roses are red Violets are blue

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

With Trump and Musk driving U.S. policy, Kansas farmers have been played for suckers.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

I have worked on civil wars and state capture for 25 years. So let me be REALLY clear about this for Americans: Your courts are only as useful as the willingness of politicians to comply with those judgments. And the willingness of police to enforce. And Musk, Trump & Co do NOT care about the law

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

DEI Programs Criticised After Emotionally Deficient, Fuckwit Man-Baby Promoted to President

Drinking my matcha this morning, I thought of the movie Soul. There’s a scene where 22 eats pizza for the first time, not realizing how special it is until the end. Every morning when I have my matcha, I get that same feeling. In this hectic time, little moments like that make life feel lighter. 🍵💜

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Old enough to remember when a single library deciding not to carry a Dr Seuss book was a grave threat to liberty

Nearly one-third of #fentanyl cited in U.S. tally of seized drugs has no connection to Canada, undermining Trump claim that Canada is a rapidly growing source of fentanyl in the U.S. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com #ToxicDrugCrisis
