I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.

While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.

With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

Brennan points out the laptop story was a Russian influence operation, not that it was fabricated by Russia. The letter itself literally says “we do not know if the emails… are genuine.” The accuser repeatedly puts different words in Brennan’s mouth and then attacks the fabricated claim.

Those people used to hide under rocks. Now they flaunt their inhumanity with pride. Will we ever be able to put this ugly genie back in the bottle?

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.

Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.

AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

My mother, the Spanish flu orphan In 1918, a flu pandemic killed millions – including five-year-old Meg Williams' parents. Her daughter Reina James uncovers the tragic event from which her mother never recovered

Over 10 million children have been orphaned by COVID, they have had poor support as COVID sufferers have been ridiculed. We live in a society looking away from the fallout on this. What will be the long term impact on these children who habent been acknowledged? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I’m deeply upset about Trump’s destruction of the East Wing to build his mar-a-lago ballroom, but it’s not like we have a real White House at this point.

Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

Hey Rep. Chip Roy: You're lying your arse off, your religiosity is repugnant AF, and separation of church and state is the law of the land. Take your authoritarianism, your religion, and your mouth-mullet and go crawl under a rock.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Please note, confirmations are still coming in. We are working hard to crowd source exactly who all got notices last night.
Some won’t know till snail mail comes in days.
