Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
JEFFREY V. BROWN, United States District Judge:!
In August 2025, the State of Texas enacted a new electoral map to govern elections for the U.S. House of Representatives (the "2025 Map"). Claiming that the 2025 Map is racially
discriminatory, six groups of Plaintiffs (the "Plaintiff Groups") ask the Court to preliminarily
enjoin the State from using the 2025 Map for the 2026 elections.
For the reasons explained below, the Court PRELIMINARILY ENJOINS the State from using the 2025 Map. The Court ORDERS that the 2026 congressional election in Texas shall
proceed under the map that the Texas Legislature enacted in 2021 (the "2021 Map").](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreib3i5jmuws2fzu6zq7t6hucfrg46pmvz5ofh2qoxsqjekkrs5kdge@jpeg)

This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

This is yet another horrifying example of American fascism
Award-winning journalist Mario Guevara, who was detained after documenting ICE raids, was arrested at a protest on June 14 in Georgia. Although all criminal charges related to the protest have been dropped, federal prosecutors have fought to keep him locked up in ICE custody.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
