I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

(2/2) I've been in leftist circles for a while and blanket red state hate for its government and people as a sort of unitary identity crucially leaves out Black, queer, disabled, immigrant, and even scientific voices... are the park rangers at the Grand Canyon to be derided as Trump lovers?

As someone from a red state, there are significantly more people apathetic to any real change 'cuz their vote doesn't matter due to lobbying + gerrymandering. I would advise that your anger is reserved for those who deserve it, rather than public workers whose passion is caring for children. (1/2)

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

UBI is a first step to removing the concept of money but I know that's a bit risqué for some of you

UBI + no salary for elected offices sounds incredible rn... just a silly thought for thinking on

The 24-Hour Reality Check: Musk’s Impossible Power Grab And America’s Crisis There are twenty-four hours in a day. This isn’t a matter of political opinion or technological disruption—it’s as immutable as the fact that two plus two equals four. No amount of geni…

"As DOGE director, he has significant authority over federal contracting and procurement. Yet he simultaneously controls SpaceX, which receives billions in government contracts for national security launches. ... This isn’t just inappropriate; it’s explicitly prohibited by federal law."

"Don't worry, the mad king had a consult with himself and found he's sane"

Who does this anger help? You don't actually know if the people in the video voted for Trump. Cost of living is a valid concern; why not direct the anger towards the Republicans who've stripped back everyone's rights? It's far more productive.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

REP. BEYER: “What Trump and Musk have done is not only wrong, it is illegal. USAID was established by an act of Congress and can only be disbanded by an act of Congress.”

REP. OMAR: “This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like.”

SEN. MURPHY: “Let’s call it what it is - a constitutional crisis.”

Senator Tommy Tuberville: We have an attention deficit problem in this country. Attention deficit — when you or I were growing up — our parents didn’t use a drug they used a belt.

Mr. Musk’s team has also taken on a range of roles, including I.T. staff members and detectives. Mr. Trump has said that Mr. Musk’s job includes carrying out his executive orders. And so Mr. Musk has tried to deploy his engineers to find ways to turn off the flow of money from the Treasury Department to things that Mr. Trump wants to defund.

well, the founders’ nightmare of a foreign born subversive with no inherent loyalty to america grabbing power now looks very relevant. however they didn’t predict he would be a dope fiend too

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Dying in darkness. 🇺🇸

Every news thing now is like “law enforcement agency dissolved: all power to Zod!” and then the Dems posting “iron workers have been the backbone of American industry for 100 years, and now tariffs are breaking our promise to them”

Privatize everything so they can make money off everything and gouge the people for everything. The dismantling of our government and society and leaving behind the most vulnerable.
