We’ll have to rely on all the local coverage of MAGA pastors, state senators, activists, county chairs, etc. busted for child porn, child molestation, child sex trafficking

From 2014-17 I worked for a company that no longer exists. Over 2016 my boss got weirder, impulsive and wore sunglasses inside. My wife suspected drugs. In 2017 he fired me for questioning some of his decisions. No one got paid after I left because he'd raided payroll for drug money. That was it.

🤷🏻

Sheriff said he was "not acting in his official capacity," which means he gave up any claim of qualified immunity for battery and deprivation of rights.

I’m not mad at this!

Patel's staff is successfully scaring the shit out of him, at least.

Breaking — All Department of Justice office leaders just received an email saying they should be “prepared to follow the instructions” in the OPM/Musk bullet email, according to a copy shared with me. Full text:

'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

Will MAGA side with Elon Musk or Kash Patel? We know Vance will throw Kash under the bus like he did his Indian American wife and kids when he supported DOGE member Marko "Normalize Indian Hate" Eliz. How about the rest?

Local news has picked this up, noting, “Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris also appeared to be in attendance at the event, although he has yet to offer a public statement after multiple attempts to contact his office.“ You can see him downthread. www.khq.com/news/attende...

Diversity of tactics is a good thing. Diversity of strategy is ALSO a good thing. We can all argue til we're blue in the face about whether it's useful to take arrest to advance a movement, but the reality is like all tactics, arrestables are only as good as their ability to advance a strategy.

I think the implications here are painfully and terrifyingly obvious.

I really think it falls apart badly for Elon in particular because he's fucking with shit that he clearly does not understand

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

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

Saw Captain America: Brave New World this evening and have already forgotten most of it, like the name of someone uninteresting who introduced themself at a party

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Trump and Musk, between them, have 18 children (that we know about) with 7 women. Family values, GOP-style.

the way this incident was covered was ultimate vindication for "they want trump to win" theory. totally buried in the final weeks of the campaign despite indicating serious, serious health and mental problems for trump

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Angry is good. Angry gets. Shit. Done.

I still haven't stopped laughing about the fact that he posted this over a year ago on the platform that he literally bought, and paid $44 billion for.

his brain is just flashcards of seo keywords

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

It's genuinely insane the night and day difference in age coverage on Biden vs Trump, because the former was EXPLICITLY AND ADMITTEDLY DIRECTED BY AG

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

That's an awful lot of programs cutting graduate admissions in the biomedical sciences.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I feel like this is my moment, as an American, to step up, because I have a lot of experience at ignoring emails

Polls opened in Germany about a minute ago. Check out our article putting today's election in its historical and political context, written by @joshualivestro.bsky.social . www.thebulwark.com/p/whats-at-s...

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

At least one federal workers union, NTEU, is advising members not to respond to the email. People at intelligence agencies have been told the same since NDAs cover a lot of their work and they actually can’t chat with Elon and his 19-year-old friends about what they’re up to

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

Take action now, friends, to keep DOGE out of our data. #Privacy www.aclu.org/doge

Can Justice Thomas get email at whatever billionaire’s lodge he’s weekending at?

Which part of Germany was under Soviet control, ask yourself

The foundational principle of contemporary American conservatism is that it is better to be unabashedly evil than to be a flawed human being trying to be good but always falling short of perfection. It is a fundamentally anti-human philosophy.

This is going to sound mean & elitist & the meritocracy is bullshit but whatever: so many of the people they want to traumatize busted their asses & sacrificed & succeeded against big odds to carve out careers in government that don't pay well but help keep this place up & running...

lmfao

on the plus side we seemed to avoid a 51st state mention in here
