Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

Musk's whole deal is to pretend that no one knew how government bureaucracy worked before, like it was this big mystery box, and it's exactly that combo of stupidity and arrogance that pervades silicon valley and leads to them reinventing a city bus and thinking they're Isaac Newton

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

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.

Disaster relief in Kentucky is exactly the kind of issue that Democrats like @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should be talking about. It’s a deep Red state that voted for Trump 3 times. It drives home that Trump will hurt even his most loyal supporters to punish his detractors.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Men in this country are hearing too many messages encouraging a form of masculinity that is neither good for them nor the people closest to them. Too many men are dealing with unhealed trauma, emotional repression, poor role modeling and an extremely narrow definition of acceptable sexual identity.

STORY + DATA: The scale of Canadian efforts to boycott US goods is becoming clear. New border data shows crossborder traffic has utterly plummeted in the last month. Southbound traffic during the recent holiday weekend dropped by more than 40% from last year. fvcurrent.com/p/border-tra...

Couldn’t find the article on @theguardian.com account to share it. The whole article is worth a read. But it is so disappointing to see how uninformed so many people are. Sad to see the sentiment relating Fauci with the Democrats when COVID lockdowns & mandates were under the Trump administration.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

CISA controls the .gov domain registrar and the national public key infrastructure (PKI). This means Elon Musk has the ability to shut down any federal, state, or city government using a .gov domain. Musk can also now prevent .gov agencies and officials from registering their .gov BlueSky handles

She’s getting closer. Called out Musk. A+ Leaned in a little on “accidentally” which is getting closer to calling out the incompetence. Missed a shot to say Musk is unelected & stealing the Congressional purse. Still with the eggs. 🤬

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

For every dollar spent at the National Institutes of Health, they return $2.50. So instead of saving $9 Billion, we’re losing $22.5 Billion.

The breathless entitlement in all of the posts on the @leopardsatemyface.bsky.social account would be mind blowing if it wasn’t so predictable. Every single one of them just want Daddy to make it all go away because they’re “one of the good ones.” They really think he cares about them individually.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

This is an extraordinary document of a moment of extraordinary clarity and courage. We’ve read stories about the people who are impacted, but precious few accounts from the people who have been impacted.

This kind of shift would have been unthinkable even a few weeks ago. It’s important for the left to claim ground in the media space. Keep sending the message that we will not disappear!
