THREAD. Stop falling for the grift.

See that Dems? Stand up for trans people, and you'll actually win. And fuck you, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social You'll never get MAGA votes, but now you'll lose a lot of Dem ones.

Unacceptable @houlahan.house.gov. Instead of sitting there in your pink-accented jacket, you should've walked out behind him. Just another failure to meet this moment. I'm so disappointed in you.

In other news, I suggest Elon Musk go fuck himself. He doesn't even go here.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

THIS!!!

So the billionaire gutting the government under the imprimatur of a meme coin is calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme?

Rubio sank so far into that couch I was honestly afraid JD Vance might fuck him.

This explains a lot. Written before his first term, looks like Trump has finally accomplished in the second term what he has always wanted to do.

If this goes into effect, it will crush higher ed in the U.S.: mass layoffs, slashed services, and even higher tuitions. When coupled with the government firings, it will cause a sharp recession just as the Republicans slash nutritional and medical support for the poor. And that’s the point.

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

EXCELLENT PIECE!!

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Jesus, take the wheel.

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse. The rich will live well off the back of your labor. This is the Republican vision.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

I'm not doomscrolling, I'm just doing Apocalypse Tourism

If you’re in line to sack Patrick Mahomes, STAY IN LINE

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Forget Greenland. Musk bought the United States for only $277 million. A bargain.

MORE OF THIS!! From every Dem!!

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

Good strategy here.

The angry response to the Bishop’s sermon is telling. They can't control our capacity for empathy, it's their kryptonite. It's a bucket of water on the wicked witch.
