A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN.

Short-sighted, reactionary morons.

You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

LMAO YES

Andrew Feinberg & @AndrewF..•23m UPDATE from a @WhiteHouse official: ••• "TASS was not on the approved list of media for today's pool. As soon as it came to the attention of press office staff that he was in the Oval, he was escorted out by the@PressSec. He is not on the approved list for the press conference."

The White House position is now that Russian state media breached the security of the Oval Office.

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

The "in touch with the public" is exactly it. This is not simply a problem of bad communications strategy - it's a problem of shriveled capacity for feedback, and fear of the political disruption that remedying the problem would involve.

Once again, just like with Musk and Twitter, these fucking idiots don't understand what was already happening, rip it down, and then try to rebuild the same thing, but way dumber, because they can't understand nuance and complexity.

if this trend continues tesla stock and investors will be completely decimated. the protests, public pressure, selling off stock and vehicles seem to be working

They are preparing to liquidate the population of the United States, then enslave whoever is deemed work-worthy. They are cutting off allies and isolating so that they can prepare for psychopath min-maxing of human lives.

This is a sign that the capitalist billionaire class no longer cares about the consumer class, period. You will see more and more consumer focused brands liquidate as they pull their money in preparation for the genocide about to occur.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

I genuinely think the billionaire class wants to industrialize human life itself. They want to treat us like actual cattle and breed, enslave, slaughter, and process us like animals. They will give us just enough to keep us alive and put us to work. When we die, we die.

she made the greatest posting mistake you can make, acknowledging a dunk on you like this

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness.

I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

i find the concept of him passing away so fascinating

A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk's social-media platform, or else. X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic execu-tives, according to people with knowledge of those talks.

Musk is straight up threatening advertisers to stay on X. This is exactly what anyone who knows anything about him expected him to do when he got this power.

Musk very clearly sees the US government as just another new arm of his business empire. And is using it all as any authoritarian would.

Request for Public Comment Regarding Technology Platform Censorship The Federal Trade Commission invites public comment to better understand how technology platforms1 deny or degrade (such as by “demonetizing” and “shadow banning”) users’ access to services based on the content of the users’ speech or their affiliations, including activities that take place outside the platform.2 In doing so, technology platforms may employ opaque or unpredictable internal procedures to restrict users’ access to services, often without any advance notice, leaving affected users with little ability to mitigate the related harm. Users may also receive little information about the alleged violations that led to their dismissal or downgrading on the platform. Technology platforms may similarly deny their users a meaningful opportunity to challenge or appeal the platforms’ decisions. Such actions by technology platforms may violate their terms of service or other policies (collectively, “policies”) and flout users’ reasonable expectations based on the technology platforms’ public representations. Such policies and practices, which may affect competition, may have resulted from a lack of competition or may have been the product of anti-competitive conduct. FTC staff is interested in understanding how consumers have been harmed—including by potentially unfair or deceptive acts or practices, or potentially unfair methods of competition— by technology platforms that limit users’ ability to share their ideas or affiliations freely and openly. FTC staff encourages members of the public, including current and former employees of technology platforms, to comment on any issues or concerns that are relevant to the FTC’s consideration of this topic, including, but not limited to, the following questions:

Trump FTC getting ready to go after social media companies (I'm sure it will skip ExTwitter, and possibly now Meta) for their First Amendment protected editorial discretion.

"It was like so much easier when you're broke, if you don't travel constantly," said MrBeast. "Life is so easy when you just wake up in your own bed and work 15 hours compared with all this fucking bullshit where I'm like, 'I don't know the time zone I'm in, I don't know what place on it'...some days I'm going to 10am, other days I'm going to 5pm." I'm not sure life is easier when you are poor. It really just sounds like maybe MrBeast needs to take a vacation and travel a bit less.

Even Kotaku wasn't buying his bullshit lmao

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

‘Long Live the King’: Trump Likens Himself to Royalty on Truth Social Mr. Trump’s fondness for injecting regal themes into his presidency was apparent as he applauded his administration’s move to kill congestion pricing in New York.

Moscow reportedly offers Trump deal regarding natural resources The Kremlin has offered Donald Trump’s team a deal on Russian natural resources.

I see no actual evidence that the American and Russian negotiators are putting together a peace deal. It looks increasingly like America is negotiating its neutrality in the conflict in exchange for oil. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

It's also because he's fucking them

the elite oligarchy in america, through elon musk, are attempting to create a parallel establishment to usher in the destruction of the US government and the ascendency of a new technocracy

i download every single chinese app i can and keep them updated so their government can properly steal my data to plan the United States downfall with ease

As someone who camps at Yosemite a few times every year... this is frustrating. And so pointless.

This clusterfuck gets even dumber.

There's an important point here that I'm not sure everyone is fully appreciating. People still in their probationary periods took their career positions because *they were committed to doing the work of keeping the government humming regardless of who won this or any other election.*

trumps authoritarian government is trying to rewrite history and exclude trans people from all mentions of it. they will find out that we cannot truly be erased. the pendulum will swing back woker than ever
