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

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

If you haven’t been paying attention, it’s time.

They are gutting our federal government.

These are the people who keep us safe-
Who protect airways, railways, water, inspect our food, manage our healthcare, protect us, and on and on.

🚨THIS IS PROJECT 2025!
🚨A warning from the inside:

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

Sad commentary on society that someone who’s shown only grace and class has been the target of a relentless smear campaign by small, petty people desperate for attention and clicks at any cost.

This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.

Know 👏🏽 your 👏🏽 worth! 👏🏽

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social brilliant as ever.

100%. It's a simple, elegant plan for Elon and his cronies:

Step 1: gut the federal workforce

Step 2: secure a zillion dollars in extra contracts to perform all the functions you just gutted at a massive markup

Who else thinks that buying banned books as presents is a great idea this year?

He watched democracy die in his home country of Hungary. Here is his advice to Americans getting ready for a second Trump term.
