Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’ Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist. But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

Thanks for pushing something I want to read into my feed! #WYO

Elon Musk calls Sen. Mark Kelly a “traitor” for supporting Ukraine—no reason, just vibes. Kelly fires back: “Defending freedom keeps America safe. Maybe leave it to those who actually get it.”

Just bc I’m n the middle of a D-Day series on a history pod I listen to, it’s worth a note here that Canada landed its troops right alongside US and British forces that day.

If DOGE wants all my info & stuff, I got a few pics for ya.

Breaking News: Mark Carney, a banker, will replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Liberal Party leader and the country’s prime minister. The party chose him to take on President Trump amid a generational crisis in Canada’s relationship with the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/w...

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

The GOP is the opposite of “the party of personal responsibility.” No one is owning up to anything. The buck stops somewhere over there where no one can find it.

Woke up. Got out of bed. Rescued a bald eagle.

This was EPIC.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

We could have been part of that.

The mass firing of employees at NOAA could hamper research, hurt the economy and lead to, among other things, more dangerous fire seasons in Oregon. Read more: https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/2025/03/chaotic-trump-layoff-of-noaa-employees-in-oregon-could-hurt-economy-worsen-fire-season.html 

📌NOTE: Tesla stock dropped 28% in February, and 3% today. Vroooom ...

How does it feel How does it feel Behind the wheel Of a clown mobile Like a sad trombone A dork all alone

If today's Republicans were around in 1939, they'd be saying that Poland caused World War II.

It was like this with President Macron, then England & several other Countries sucking up to soften the meeting. That went well, didn't it?

The pee pee tape lol 😉🥰👇

I'm not going to feel good until that pile of orange shit in d.c. dies and goes to hell.

Terrorist Trump is always retreating and cowering. Nothing is weaker than an elderly conservative. 🤷

Today the world got a close up view of the colonial terrorism that has been plaguing the world for centuries and destroyed countless people , countries and cultures. Terrorist Trump is proof that Satan is made of money. 💸 🙏

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

Putting his hand on President Donald Trump’s arm, French President Emmanuel Macron said, “We provided real money, to be clear.”

Still tons of journalists posting on Twitter and I understand why to an extent, but all the same, arbitrary suppression of work on that platform really argues for moving on.

Glad to see this law suit from @apnews.com. If the First Amendment means anything, it means the President doesn't get to dictate how news organizations describe the world. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That would be, of course, illegal.

I stand with The Associated Press #AP @apnews.com The White House has ordered The Associated Press to use certain words. Allowing such government control and retaliation to stand is a threat to every American’s freedom.

This isn't just true for Americans - it is vital that we all hold the line and defend democracy. "I’m far from certain that staying engaged will make a difference. What I do know is that if we all tune out, there’s no hope at all" @sulliview.bsky.social

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "I'm not a fan of populism, but real populism would be better than the right-wing elite nihilists who are running the country now," our columnist David Brooks writes.

Timothee Chalamet's performance was certainly admirable. Of course, he's not Dylan. But if his work exposes Dylan's tremendous talent to more folks, I think that's good news.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

In a strongly-worded letter to Catholic bishops in the United States, Pope Francis is taking to task the Trump Administration's stance on migrants, and that he's following what he calls a "major crisis" with the initiation of mass deportation.

"if the public believes there is no determination to fight back, Trump’s destruction will continue unabated" says @sulliview.bsky.social . But some Democrats in Congress - like Jasmine Crockett and Chris Murphy - are showing how it's done. #TrumpTyrrany www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Trump Administration’s obsession with this issue is disproportionate to the number of Americans and children who identify as non-binary or seek gender-affirming healthcare. Fewer than 2 percent of adults in the US say their gender is different from their assigned sex at birth, according to Pew.

His first term he was allowed more leniency because he was not a politician or some BS. This time they cannot use that excuse. He is simply not qualified and never was.
