No doubt last nightā€™s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Extortion, pure and simple.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Someoneā€™s lying here, big time. And just this once, I donā€™t think itā€™s Trump.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why heā€™s doing it.

Thank you so much Bangor Daily News. This is how it's done. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/02/22/o...

Elon Musk instructed federal workers to respond to an email summarizing their weekly accomplishments, a tactic he previously used to downsize staff at X. ā€œPlease reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager,ā€ the message stated.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

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 ...

Who else is either un-afraid, orā€¦is, but doesnā€™t give a fuckā€¦and is pushing forward, defending democracyā€¦anyway?āœ‹šŸ¤š

DOGE staffer Gavin Kliger has amplified Nick Fuentes & called for a pardon of Derek Chauvin. As of 2/7/25, Kliger was still employed by Databricksā€”backed by DOGE advisor Marc Andreessenā€™s VC firm, which has hired Daniel Penny (recently acquitted of manslaughter re: a Black manā€™s death) 2/7/25 1/

Heyā€¦Elon, if youā€™re monitoring this, FUCK YOU.

This is the text of the bullshit email all federal government employees just received from the Office of Personnel Management (or are about to receive).

The reply email inbox for this ā€œwhat did you do last weekā€ email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely donā€™t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elonā€™s dumbass bullshit

AZ AG Kris Mayes: Letā€™s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I donā€™t think heā€™s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I donā€™t know what that wasā€”some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Wake up Germany!! Donā€™t fall for the high inflation, immigration BS!! Things will get so much worse if you donā€™t save your democracy!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

ā€œElon Muskā€™s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his companyā€™s cars.ā€

I wouldnā€™t think ā€œmoved to root out diversity initiativesā€ is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Remarkable stuff in the texts between Musk and St. Clair in the exhibits to her paternity position. Heā€™s really into making babies!

Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

MAGA Republicans really thought town halls would show the country that Americans are behind them. No šŸ’• Keep these clips coming our way! Hey MAGA: 2026 is coming. šŸ—³ļø Weā€™re voting you TF out.

ā€œOperation Whirlwindā€ Whatā€™s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But heā€™s no Tony Stark. Heā€™s PHONY Stark. Heā€™s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

I love Claudia!!! Mexico is a beautiful country with great culture ā€” much better than this maga shithole King Musk-Trump is creating.

šŸšØBREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the governmentā€™s lawyers, ā€œhas no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himselfā€ and ā€œonly has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the Presidentā€™s directives.ā€

Let's be very clear. The Constitution says that presidents are limited to being elected twice. Anyone who says otherwise needs to read the 22nd Amendment.

RFK Jr. cannot be trusted to oversee or interpret legit scientific research.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to ā€œchecks and balancesā€ and ā€œguardrailsā€ working. That didnā€™t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own handsā€¦ open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
