‘We’re losing decades of our life to this illness’: long Covid patients on the fear of being forgotten Five years on from March 2020, millions of people still face debilitating symptoms, with huge repercussions on public health and productivity. But politicians are starting to pretend the pandemic neve...

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

This is an excellent idea, assuming Trump doesn't have them arrested for some non-existent "contradicting my mandate" crime.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Elon cried out last week that it was illegal to share DOGE staffers’ names online.

Elon Musk re-shared a tweet containing Judge John McConnell Jr.’s daughter’s job and financial records on X after the judge ruled against DOGE.

Across the government, probationary employees and Schedule A workers—including individuals with severe physical, psychiatric, or intellectual disabilities, as well as veterans—are being let go.

Glad my kids are old enough to be fully vaxxed.

Furious that Trump's brain gets to swim in an ocean of stimulants, while my ADHD kid may be denied his by a guy pumped to the gills with HGH and gender-affirming TRT.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

We urge our international supporters to do the same. Some countries are already proposing tariffs on Musk-affiliated businesses(please do). Join us in taking a stand.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Hard sell, I know, given history, but…
Taking actual patriotism based on the idea of what this place is supposed to be, regardless of where it’s failed before, back from these fuckers is probably a good idea. Solidarity.

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

"So what is the alternative? If we log off, what exactly are we supposed to do instead? ...

It isn’t quite as simple as “touch grass,” but it also sort of is."

In other words, "Act Local" still applies. Talk to and organize with the real people in your life, In Real Life.

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

Brexit making the headlines.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
