I'm only listening to @kneecapceol.bsky.social and Bob Vylan the rest of the year. (To be fair, they have both been on regular rotation for a while already). These are the artists our movements need right now.

Over 200 people are shutting down Palantir's office in Palo Alto, CA right now. This is perhaps the company most driving corporate fascism, kidnappings, and war across the globe. #PurgePalantir

Zohran Mamdani set to topple Andrew Cuomo in NYC mayoral race The 33-year-old Democratic Socialist lawmaker is expected to defeat the former governor, who has conceded, in a stunning primary, signaling generational change in the Democratic Party.

Let's do Pelosi next!

👀🚨 Bombing another country “that does not pose an imminent m threat to the US without the approval of Congress” is “an unambiguous impeachable offense.” - Democratic Rep @casten.house.gov

Need other Dems to show the same kind of courage in this moment.

Let this be clear: Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who assaulted federal law enforcement officers on his first day in office. ICE & CBP have nothing to do with "law and order" - they are trying to provoke conflicts to give Trump an excuse to accelerate his authoritarian agenda.

“Rebellions are Built on Hope:” The revolutionary politics of Andor w/ organizer Matt Leonard “Andor,” the latest Star Wars miniseries, is spin off of the film “Rogue One,” which is a prequel to the original Stat Wars trilogy. It’s considered grittier, grungier…

Truly, I don't know how @theonion.com can keep up.

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer Action urgently needed to save the conditions under which markets – and civilisation itself – can operate, says senior Allianz figure

Musk must go

Tesla showroom in San Francsico currently being liberated by the Department of People Power. Time to fire Elon Musk!

‘Oligarchy’: Trump exempts big oil donors from tariffs package Trump’s new 10% universal tariffs will not apply to many fossil fuel products in sign of his fealty, advocates say

Oligarchy or OILigarchy? When Trump said "no exceptions on tariffs" looks like that doesn't include his Big Oil buddies (or Russia) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Screw Lyft. Their definition of "minutes" is different than the rest of the world. I have been waiting 48 minutes for a car that was supposed pick me up in 9 minutes.

Did Melania's #Severance chip kick on for Trump's speech?

Why is there even any debate left about Elon? He's repeatedly signaling and acting on White Supremacist ideology. Stop making excuses, and stop supporting anything Twitter, Tesla etc.

Trump says Musk to uncover billions in ‘fraud and abuse’ at US Pentagon Billionaire Elon Musk is presiding over a purge of US government jobs that critics call an ‘evisceration of democracy’.

Sometimes awful people might actually do the right thing. But I'm not holding my breath. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

It's telling that Democrats were more outraged over Campus protests for Palestine than the Coup that Elon Musk is leading.

We just lost power in Oakland, and looks like half of the Port of Oakland is out too. Thanks PG&E - glad your never-ending rate increases are really helping with grid reliability.

In any other country, a former elected official orchestrating an obvious insurrection/coup would have been tried and jailed in weeks. When you drag it out for 4 years... www.npr.org/2025/01/27/n...

When people are like "Wow, you don't drink coffee? I don't know how you do it..."

Trump just pardoned this guy.

Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump's Inauguration The far right is celebrating what it views as a clear signal from the X owner and Donald Trump associate, who made the gestures on stage Monday.

Come on, Musk wasn't trying to make a Nazi salute - he's just been hanging around these guys for a bit, so it was just an instinctual reaction. www.wired.com/story/neo-na...

This org has spent its existence baselessly smearing all sorts of leftists, BLM activists, Palestine solidarity advocates as anti-Semitic, upending lives, and then this guy, who happens to be the world’s richest man, does an actual Nazi salute and they’re like “let’s not jump to conclusions.”

I'm pretty confident that the #Severance workers at Lumon are the ones secretly controlling the #Silo.

And don't forget - Biden permitted more drilling than Trump did - and the fossil fuel industry boomed under his tenure. This symbolic move as he leaves office isn't nothing, but it's also not very much.

Yes, we need good new these days. But Biden's offshore drilling "ban" needs to be taken with a grain of salt. It "protects" regions where drilling already isn't viable for but leaves the Gulf of Mexico (responsible for 97% of domestic offshore drilling) largely open. And don't forget....

And h/t for the recommendation goes to @giantwhispers.bsky.social
