Please CALL your representative the vote is TOMORROW & help SAVE this program. YOUR voice does matter and does make a DIFFERENCE. 202-224-3121.🚨

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Donny Trump is Elon's little bitch. Listen to the new pod episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiG7...

Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The removal of the Jan. 6th database “signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare the president’s supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record…” www.propublica.org/article/janu...

My personal theory is that Trump doesn’t give much of a shit about anything except winning, staying out of prison, pardoning his loyalists and getting revenge on people. I think he’s relieved to let Elon do whatever he wants with the government

something that stands out for me at the almost-2.5-week mark is that Musk priorities are actually happening and Trump priorities are not.

“I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire.” Brilliant.

"The decline of America’s creditworthiness has been a stop-start process every time the debt limit approaches. But now, DOGE will get it done for good because the teenagers tracking the US government’s credit card balance have killed countless Neuralink monkeys."

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous. I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them. 🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed. -US was already an oligarchy -US was already fascist -Biden gave Israel a blank check -Etc

A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls So...

Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and tax information. Violation of this law is a FELONY. I’m demanding answers on if Elon Musk is already violating the law.

Associating immigrants with contagions historically leads to very dark places. Which they know. Which means they’re leading us to dark places purposefully.

Breaking News: President-elect Trump’s advisers are said to be trying to identify a disease that could help them justify closing the U.S. border with Mexico. They have spent months trying to find the right disease to build their case.

"it's an election-interference case, not a 'hush money' case, motherfuckers," she muttered, pouring her coffee

Lolololololol! Right, too rich to be self-serving?!? Simping for the billionaire class is as repugnant and it is pathetic.

BASH: One of the concerns is that Elon Musk has billions tied up in govt contracts. You don't see a conflict of interest? CHRIS SUNUNU: Everyone has a conflict of interest BASH: But that's a pretty big one SUNUNU: He's so rich he's removed from the potential financial influence

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

This place was built it large part by a wave of trans early adopters and it’s a fucking insult that the mods here are letting a deliberate troll like Singal set up shop here to bully and harass them. This isn’t a hard call, guys. Not at all.

When Trump instituted his inhumane family separation policy Immigrant children were put in detention centers, abused and even died It is estimated there are now 4.4 million kids in the US whose parents are undocumented If Trump deports the adults The damage to these families will be catastrophic

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2y ago

A court-ordered system for protecting the health of children detained at the southern U.S. border, put in place two years ago after several children died in custody, is set to expire nine days after Donald Trump takes office with plans to intensify the deportation of migrants.

UPDATE: the snitch not only can't get the NYPDs $10k because she apparently called 911 instead of Crimestoppers... She has been fired from her job after the McD franchise was FLOODED with negative reviews. Live and learn!

Second day back to working out after a case of left lateral epichondylitis and right shoulder inflammation put me out of it for the last six months. The soreness is already setting in.
