I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Sounds like FDR had a window to 2025, doesn't it?

Donald Trump has told Kristi Noem to spend $200 million of public funds on ads thanking him for "securing the border," North Korea-style www.semafor.com/article/02/1... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

He's going to get me killed.

Annexation is implausible because Canadians know just how much the U.S. has shredded its own social safety net.

OMG! HUGE family fave. Rest in peace and power, Iceman! My favorite song of his is "Ain't Understanding Mellow," his duet with Brenda Lee Eager from 1971. My parents and grandparents LOVED this song, and so do my sisters & I. One of the best R&B duets of all time! open.spotify.com/track/1ljRPp...

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

It’s 2026, and the three highest grossing movies are about the dark side of egg smuggling.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dow tumbles 748 points, and S&P 500 has worst drop in 2 months after discouraging reports on the US economy.

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath. To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

musk actually said, “i am become meme.” i feel like i spend too much time online but compared to that guy i’m a hermit living in a cave.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

Someone mentioned the r word making a comeback. I thought to myself "I haven't had a nice chud blocking session in over a week so I will do a search." Y'all I did not find any conservatives. Everyone theoretically on "my team" taking pot shots at Musk. WTF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Make sure these people are never able to eat in public again

Great @volts.wtf podcast w pro housing activists who’ve been racking up victories. A good reminder that even during the Trump years, there are places where we can fight to build a better world right now

The thing is many of Bidenists still clinging to this system that's about to fall thinking a man committing genocide brazenly is going to save democracy are going to perish in the totalitarian conditions that have already set in & that we must prepare to continue to live under & in resistance of.

I don't know what's funnier, that Paul thinks endorsing Trump after Trump won and wielding power like a tyrant shows he is "sincere," or that after warning people his entire career about the threat of executive power, Paul is now fawning over a president who literally just declared himself king.

Girls let’s stitch and bitch (about minorities).

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

After we’ve discriminated against all immigrant, gay, transgender, disabled, female, and minority people, yet find the problems we blamed them for “are still staring us in the face….what next? All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer.” Gov. Pritzker, Skokie, Illinois, Feb 19, 2025

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

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/

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

no offense but ive been dealing with death threats for a decade and these guys are fuckin pussies

DOGE is so transparent they won't reveal to a federal court who actually runs it.

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=w...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Bro the other republicans who are supposed to have Trump’s back don’t even like him according to polling? I think buddy really put too much dip on his chip & got too deep in dictator mode.

[threatening a baby] here comes the airplane

This is as predictable as the sun rising and setting

These actions are identical to those of someone actively trying to ignite a military coup.

SPLC deliberately gutted its Hatewatch imprint. They have no full time investigative reporters working in the intelligence project, which covers the radical right. They moved the editor of Hatewatch into the comms department. Spend your money elsewhere during Trump II.
