The harm caused by Elon Musk is not talked about enough.

His DOGE-led cuts to USAID are projected to kill millions of people.

That is more than all post-WW2 wars the US has been involved in combined.

And he didn't even save money.

He needs to be held accountable

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

JD Vance said he doesn’t care if the US commits war crimes. Did it make the news?

Donald Trump said he’s declaring war on Chicago. Did it make the news?

Executive agencies keep posting Nazi blood-and-soil propaganda. Did it make the news?

This is dynamite. Nobody is talking about this really, they don't want to believe it. This is flagged up as a potential problem in 2006. Now we have people who overtly want to cheat of course it happened

A 'Redskin' Is the Scalped Head of a Native American, Sold, Like a Pelt, for Cash

I remember commissioning this story from my friend @baxterholmes.bsky.social 11 whole years ago. It is not a complex decision when you know any history at all. And now Trump is trying basically criminalize being against this racism.

Your thread here seems to suggest you're in favor of low wages for British workers. Not sure that's a reasonable or popular approach in policy

If a State is party to a lawsuit, it goes direct to the Supreme Court, by Article III, Section 2, so this isn't true. "In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction."

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
