This is less about oil wars and more about asserting dominance in the “Gulf of America”.
He started with the rename. Then went for Venezuela, and now is threatening Mexico and Cuba.
I was born in Miami and am half Cuban, and it sucks to hear how much my family is about this crap.

The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

Trump complaining that he doesn’t like a painting done of him that’s hanging in the Colorado capitol building is an all-timer. Feels like a b-plot on Parks and Rec, if the show was about fascism.

It's just so weird that the entire federal government is working so hard to protect the interests of one extremely wealthy freak
here's footage of AG Bondi warning Jasmine Crockett today to "tread very carefully" with her anti-Elon Musk rhetoric

I truly do not understand why the most powerful democrats in the country still rely on that platform
Elon Musk's social media platform X has suspended several accounts belonging to opposition figures in Turkey amid widespread civil unrest in the country.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

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 They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.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

NEW — I'm told FDA supervisors called employees today to stress return to office dates in apparent effort to pressure them into taking deferred resignation deal & didn't mention deadline is no longer tonight (thanks to court order). Being done by phone to avoid paper trail for unions, source says.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
