“We cannot be made to be afraid of these f**king people. I know these people. They are cowards" - Tim Miller

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I didn’t violate the constitution in more progressively flagrant ways each day. So there’s that.

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

Gonna have a Night of the Long Knives again at this rate

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is the right message. What we're witnessing is a socioeconomic sickness. Megalomania brought on by severe concentration of wealth. It will destroy everything if it's not addressed

Trump take insulin

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

I don’t know why this feeling of dread has crept up on me today—the stream of news isn’t hugely different than recent weeks. Still, I can’t shake the sense that some important load-bearing walls supporting our democracy have collapsed.

We no longer have moments of Zen. We have moments of when will this be over

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Is there a full list of major colleges/universities that have scrubbed diversity mentions from their websites in the last few weeks?

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

That bad? I usually just get it in my ears.

These fukken losers

This is our current government except replace Theoden with the Balrog

Try explaining to someone who hasn't been keeping up with politics that the apparatus of US government has been taken over by a small band of nazis.

something that I think would be really interesting to study is how Trump appears in people's dreams, especially his supporters. their view of him seems to bear very little resemblance to anything he says or does

Lately been having the dark thought that our best hope for democracy might be Musk ODing on ketamine

The FBI has only ever had Republican directors. Trump illegally forced out the last two FBI directors for not being Republican enough. Today, Senate Republicans let him appoint a new FBI director who posted an AI video of himself chainsawing Democrats’ heads off

If "Immigrants didn't steal my job - the President did" is not the centerpiece of the Dems messaging from now on, this party cannot be helped.

This is even more unconstitutional than usual. Article I gives Congress the power to establish the post office. It cannot be "dissolve[d]" by the Executive.

Hey what could go wrong!? Not delivering mail in ballots in blue areas is top priority here.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Now we're all REALLY fucked. It'll start off bad, and then it'll get worse. I don't think I'm exaggerating here to say in a year or two, we might start to see regime critics 'disappearing'.

State media watch

Jesus was also trans(ubstantiated).

Musk-Trump announce plans to secure gold from Fort Knox in secret volcano base. They added: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They misspelled “excrementatitve”

I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.

Elon is starting an airline. It’s called White Flight.

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

CALIFORNIA — ex NFL punter Chris Kluwe arrested for civil disobedience protesting at the city council in Huntington Beach, where the council planned a “MAGA” display on a plaque at the library. Context: www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

This was just 233 days ago:

if I knew how to make a labeler, I would absolutely make one called "Nazi collaborators" to slap on the accounts of professors and pundits and journalists who sane wash or defend the Trump admin's many Nazi endeavors

New — Edward "Big Balls" Coristine of DOGE now has digital access to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), an agency source has confirmed to me.
