I wrote about why Democrats should absolutely not be kissing up to Elon Musk

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

The feud isn't a distraction. It's and example of them being unstable, incompetent chuckle-fucks. Make the connection. I don't feel like it's a hard sell to say "These obviously dim and evil toddlers shouldn't be in charge of the budget or anything else."

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

remember how construction collapsed between 2008 and 2011-ish and all those construction workers left, retired, or changed industries? y'know how 15 years later we STILL don't have enough construction workers?

Dems assume they have the votes of the trans community because "the other guy is worse" but they had that same mentality regarding Gaza in the run up to the election and well

I would like to post my art here from time to time. I also don't want it scraped by LLMs/"AI". Is there any way to square that circle? #art #artsky

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

I'm still off socials for a few more days but I came #onhere cuz my sister just shared this article w/ me. I can't stress enough that it is BULLSHIT & pressure must stay on Musk's NECK. Gratitude to all of us who picketed as part of #TeslaTakeDown. Work continues. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

I want to run a campaign that makes people ask their representatives, “Why aren’t you doing that?” If you’re asking for someone’s vote, you need to earn it!

Just called Gillibrand and Schumer to demand they not only vote against the murderous Republican budget bill, but that they deny unanimous consent at every opportunity and do everything else they can to gum up the works. This is intolerable. Find your senators here and make your own calls: reps.fyi

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

Yes, when you see all the mainstream media sources doing this at once, assume the fix is in. Musk hasn’t “pulled back” at all, but he wants people to stop focusing on him.

Someday, I'd like to see a defense of witholding criticism of Democrats on the grounds that Republicans are fascists address the fact that most Democrats do not themselves believe most Republicans are fascists, would like to continue making policy in a bipartisan fashion, and say this regularly.

Stop saying 'we're cooked.' You have a brain or you wouldn't be so concerned by AI fact poisoning, so use it. Learn a skill. Knit. Garden. Fix something. Buy books. However long it takes for this shit to die, keep a real skill, real knowledge, alive and well.

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

You don't have to obey anyone's framing. Calling them British Petroleum. Call it a chatbot instead of "artificial intelligence". Use real emissions, not adjusted for offsets or certificates. It's all allowed!!!

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

Yes, the level of invention, fiction and fanatacism here hard to put into words. This bill is going to explode the deficit which is a reason Moody’s downgraded. They cannot admit to the clear “sky is blue” reality of what they are doing.

Democracy requires some measure of buy-in into the idea that politics matters, public service is honorable (and to be honored by public servants), elected officials represent the people - fundamentally: that we are all part of the the game and the game deserves respect. It doesn't work like this.

Having access to trustworthy experts and being able to parse what is and isn’t misinformation or disinformation is a PRIVILEGE. Education is a PRIVILEGE. People aren’t “stupid” because they can’t do this. And if you think you’ve never fallen for propaganda you’re lying to yourself.

Usually, a "litmus test" (if there is one) is imposed by activists/interest groups claiming to be ascertaining the commitment of the candidate to core issues. Here, it's a news outlet claiming to define what the litmus test is; its core issue is helping Republicans win.

The toplines in this report are damning, but the details are even worse. Most importantly, this didn't happen because Elon is a fascist. It happened because people show up every week to tell their neighbors Elon is a fascist. Sustained protest works. #teslatakedown

In case you missed it, this may be the most undeniable evidence yet of how well the #TeslaTakedown has worked.

One of the thing that angers me most about unaccountable federal police, including ICE, but also police in general--is every step over the last 30 years to aggrandize their power has been met with warnings that exactly this would happen.
