You can like it or hate it, but peaceful protest does little and guns work, it's why people use them.

The use of firearms to protect communities/individuals that are oppressed is as old as humankind. Face some hard truths. Arm yourselves. Build community. Train.

It’s striking how effectively republicans tied mainstream dems with random internet communists, despite the two groups hating each other, while the vice president and shadow president are clearly in a million group chats with literal nazis and people hardly notice
you can basically churn out a piece like this a day if you dive into who musk and vance interact with on twitter but for some reason no legacy media outlet is doing that
EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7?

My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian.

We identified the operator of one of an anonymous Hitler-quoting self-described ‘Aryan' that is followed by Vice President JD Vance. His name is Geoff Martin, and his father is the president of Trinity Western University, a private Christian college in Canada.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Someone "comes up with" this idea every 12-18 months for fifty years and every single time they act like it's a new or fresh idea that hasn't been tried dozens of times and never worked.

We need to trust our eyes.

Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.

By late Sunday night, DOGE had erased or altered more than 1,000 contracts it previously claimed to have canceled—amounting to over 40% of all contracts listed on its site last week.

Additionally, we will soon release an updated list of all DOGE staffers.

But even if every federal worker were fired, it wouldn’t make a dent in the massive deficit increase Trump is proposing. The total federal employee payroll amounts to $271 billion—nowhere near enough to offset the trillions being added to the debt. So what’s the purpose here?

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
