Elon Musk knows that tribalism and splitting us up according to our most superficial differences is the key to maintain his massive wealth. As long as we're fighting each other, we won't fight against him.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.
It’s funny that Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida stood by their embattled President and refused to bow out of the concert lineup and then he just cut them out of the new plan lol

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3
Every week or so I think about the fact that the cops/government shot a white man, Alex Pretti, in cold blood and nothing has happened to his murderers. The murderers still have their jobs and the unarmed white man is a cautionary tale for white people to not challenge the white supremacist state.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3mo agoWhen we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people.

I'm not sure there's a single trait in rulers that is more universally criticized in the canon of western political thought that susceptibility to flattery. The favorite president of west coast Straussians and various other avowed Western Civilization Defenders *brags* about it.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump: “We’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people. I couldn’t care less, I’ll fight to the end for them.”
