Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Authoritarian leader cult alert

It’s crucial that folks realize that DOGE is grabbing data from the Gov Accountability office and claiming it as their findings. There is nothing illegal about grants that mention diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is how technofascism operates. X is a psyOp and Musk is chief propagandist.

Tesla, whose CEO has been advising President Trump on how to cut government spending, is likely to receive a lucrative contract worth $400 million to supply armored versions of its Cybertruck pickup to the State Department, according to public documents @jackewingnyt.bsky.social nyti.ms/3D0wFlv

a lot of all of this fuckery we're seeing boils down to "i don't want to be forced to acknowledge the existence and humanity of people who are different than me."

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Same was true in Poland

"Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup." nymag.com/intelligence...

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Been thinking about this cartoon. For no reason. Really. It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

GOP every damn day.

Theda Bara absolutely nailing the look I see whenever I talk to people in real life.

Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative filmmaker behind the election denialist fable 2,000 Mules, revealed that the data that underpinned his supposedly incontrovertible claims of fraudulent voting was actually a complete sham. newrepublic.com/post/188910/...

If this wasn't Joe Biden's son, no one would object to a pardon on these facts. But of course we are here because this is Joe Biden's son. That's the point. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

We could’ve had a president who reads and supports small business. Sigh… #booksky #kamalaharris #election2024

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

This love bug escaped her apartment (she lives in the apartment below me) so I had an adorable houseguest for a few hours. 10/10 would host this guest again.

Trump’s tax cuts are just going to make this worst and balloon the debt.

"Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Jesus Christ?"

Not often that I agree with Noah, but this is right (as we know from a lot of political research). People decide who they like, then retcon reasons to support them.

As Donald Trump continues to define deviancy down, our own national circus is taking shape. I give you the new deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counter terrorism, Seb Gorka, a man so cartoonish he makes cartoons blush. charliesykes.substack.com/p/can-we-tal...

If any assignment editors are reading -- I bet a full accounting of all the financial support Elon Musk and his companies received from the federal government would make for great reading when he inevitably tells all the poors they have to start making sacrifices.
