Elon Musk is mentally ill

Donald Trump is lying to you.

If you haven’t already figured it out, Hakeem Jeffries has his position because he happily runs interference within the party on behalf of their billionaire donors and ensures there’s literally no active or successful opposition. www.axios.com/2025/03/04/h...

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

Republicans: WE ARE INSTALLING A KING AND A FASCIST WHO WILL CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE ANYONE WHO OPPOSES HIM AND WAGE WAR ON THE WORLD Democrats: We are going to wear off colors and make it look really really really awkward. Think we're bluffing? Go ahead. Try us. Do your worst.

Lmao the Dems saying "let's wear pink" and then like 5 people show up wearing different shades so it looks like an accident instead of planned is a pretty apt description of the party as it stands.

“if Donald Trump kills us all, just remember how we waved tiny paddles with NUHUH printed on them.” - the Democrats

Dems made a mistake. Every 5 minutes one should have stood up like Al Green and left. #StateOfTheUnion

280 million acres of national parks? Gone? SPEAK UP.

"I RESPECT THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT!" yell the Democrats as they're being thrown into volcano. "DIGNIFIED DEMOCRATIC PRESENSE-E-E-E" a fading echo is heard as the last of them hit the magma below.

trump: "democrats are weak, they're pathetic, they are like sick dogs to me. not people! they are not people!!!" democrats: *silently holding a tiny sign that says "not true" like daffy duck*

Why is Al Green not the US president? If your representative is not matching your energy, they are not representing you. Drive them out and replace them. #3E #SOTU

“Paid protesters” has been a reliable excuse for the right since the civil rights era. Segregationists claimed the high schoolers who desegregated Central High in Little Rock were paid to do so.

Republicans intend to rule us like kings. they don't want to hear from the people, they want to arrest protesters. they look down on their voters and think they are easily manipulated sheep as long as they can mediate their experience through conservative media.

Not just that, Republicans would still be talking about it in 20 years' time.

Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning. buff.ly/HUGIm2n

This high ground made me explode with laughter. 😍 Thank goodness for humor.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

He makes money from Substack. He's followed on X by Vice President JD Vance and has been replied to by a federal prosecutor. He has said he believes in Hitler, Nazism and killing all Black people. He was just identified as a Canadian man by @stevanzetti.bsky.social and @kylebazgo.bsky.social.

every type of nazi is pathetic but jd vance is perhaps the most pathetic type, the guy who saw nazism ascendant and changed his views to jump on the train

Some context for the un-emBloomberged masses of Bluesky: today's GDPNow estimate is literally the worst number excepting COVID that has happened since the indicator existed

Just thinking about these two dipshits while reading about the Ukraine meeting in the Oval Office.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

The National Weather Service took more than 150 years to build. Forget flight or the internet or whatever - public-service systems like this are the marvels of the modern world. Conceptual cathedrals, constructed across generations and dedicated to the public good.

There’s no governing. It’s either pure political theater or gas lighting. Both are aimed at making you feel crazy and hopeless. Everyday live into your joy. Connect to what’s meaningful to you. Spread kindness. See beauty. Pursue wisdom.

In any other era, the Secretary of Defense threatening to invade an ally and one of our largest trade partners would be front page news for days. It’s not even the stupidest, most reckless thing this administration has done this afternoon. apple.news/AG-YEzrFtQlG...

America is fighting fascism by showing the rest of the world how fucking stupid fascism looks

The board of Virginia Military Institute voted on Friday against extending the contract of Major General Cedric Wins, the college’s first Black superintendent.

Retired commanding general of the 🇺🇸 Army in Europe says Trump & Vance embarrassed the country and hurt our strategic interests by siding with Russia👇🏽 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

it’s so cool we got 1500 Ashli Babbitts running around competing to see how fast they can get smoked by cops while screaming about sovereign citizenship after blowing through a stop sign in a car full of unregistered semiautomatics

Hmmm this guy is on to something

I don't know how to feel about, like... I remember when we didn't have these kinds of protections, and I never expected to get them. But actively taking them away is like, it feels like a new level

John Romero correcting Sandy Petersen, who appears to always be wrong, is one of the last remaining good things happening on Twitter

“We’re going to run the country like a business.”

because of the things you are doing, willfully and unaccountably, and from which you could change course at any time! my only solace in all of this is that the moment society collapses, elon – perhaps the softest man in human history – will be vaporized by the suggestion of actual hardship

*white voters

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children." This is what fascists do and what they have always done.

Maybe we weren’t meant to wake up and read 20 terrible things immediately.

It’s cool how private equity keeps buying up these companies and running them into the ground by saddling them with debt while squeezing whatever last ounce of profit exists before closing them and moving to the next victim and how that’s literally what’s happening to the US right now.

Re-writing history is a tool of political fraudsters everywhere. Trump is its keenest proponent. The birth of the European Community, later the EU, was actually actively supported by the US. The joint, transatlantic goal was to secure peace on the Continent. It was a specific vision of FDR.

What a tragic loss. Monolith has been around for 30 years, made classics like No One Lives Forever, FEAR, Condemned, and of course the Middle-Earth series. I have so many great memories from that studio. Thanks for all the good times team 💔😞

Old as hell PC gamers pouring several ones out today

Impossible to overstate how unhinged this all is. They're spending an incredible amount of time, effort, and legislation to persecute a relatively small community in the name of "safety," but the people they're persecuting are statistically most often victims rather than perpetrators of crime.
