MEMPHIS VS. MUSK: β€œWhen someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

@keshaunpearson.bsky.social calls out the @memphischamber for lying about XAI not using gas turbines, when we now know they’re using 60 - poisoning the community against their will, with no input.

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

Worthwhile reply thread regarding Trump’s planned White House β€œballroom”—it evokes a fascist aesthetic because it was designed by fascists:

OMFGβ€”there is NO justification for denying service members retirement when they’re separated from service because of regulatory changes.

We need a name for drawing new maps in blue states to counter what Republicans are doing in red states. THEY are gerrymandering. We are responding. Know what I mean? Like how self defense isn't assault.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

I can definitely feel it and admitting that is no defense of the (also relatively empty) hellscape that is X.

I wish people would use the repost button more than the like button to boost content they appreciate, which might help. Encouraging activity by news media and journalists also might help.

I think I have way fewer scientists following me on here than I used to on the ol' twitter machine so uh, scientists who are still here, sending this around to your colleagues would be excellent!

I know everyone feels a bit doooooomed at the moment. Talking with kids is a highlight for your week!

The mainstream media is going to regurgitate the administration’s propaganda that money is pouring in via tariffs, it is on all of us to loudly tell the truth and constantly repeat it: This is a tax on working families that is destroying the growing economy he inherited.
