Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death

Thank you to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for just telling the truth about #ElonMusk. The rest of the media should hang their heads in shame with the fawning, irrelevant pieces they ran yesterday. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Paramount Bends the Knee and Weakens a Nation Paramount settlement in the ridiculous lawsuit against CBS News is a shameful bribe paid to Trump's extortion racket, and yet another indictment of the corporate media industry

RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine alliance Gavi Gavi works to expand access to vaccines for children in some of the world’s poorest countries. Health experts say the move could have deadly consequences.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children.

Thin blue-and-yellow line The line between American chaos and American greatness runs through Ukraine

By failing to defend against Russian attacks on the free world, we’ve ceded advantage to our enemies

We’ve also made it harder for our democracy to deliver to Americans at home

The survival of America and the survival of Ukraine may be inextricably linked

Josh Shapiro says he’s β€˜prepared’ if Trump sends military to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s comments came during an interview following Trump administration threats to expand National Guard call-ups to other states.

Again, the big divide within the Democratic Party is not going to be progressives versus moderate (or The Groups). It's going to be fight versus flight.

@realDonaldTrump

I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library? An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

Adolf Hitler's β€œMein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. β€œI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and β€œMemorializing the Holocaust” are not.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
