An Unforgettable Name

Bill Gates accuses Elon Musk of killing poor children by cutting foreign aid, and says he's giving away his wealth Gates also announced that his Gates Foundation will cease operations in 2045, sooner than previously planned.

“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,” he told the Financial Times.

“I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” Gates said of Musk.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Trump Issues Executive Order Ramping Up American Police State Trump signed an executive order ramping up his efforts to embolden law enforcement across the country and shield them from accountability.

"Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch a program providing free legal resources to police officers accused of wrongdoing, while also ordering his administration to increase the supply of 'excess military and national security assets' to local law enforcement."

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

"Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as 'evidence'."

A Bald Eagle in a dumpster screaming to the heavens is the perfect encapsulation of 2025 so far.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength.

Capitulation isn’t courage.

Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism.

We used to know the difference.

we are maybe two weeks from jesse watters declaring that it’s gay for men to have sex with women

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

So true bestie.

Thank you, Wisconsin!

Wisconsin cannot be bought. Our democracy is not for sale. And when we fight, we win.

Congratulations, @crawfordforwi.bsky.social!

Something good happened. I forgot what this feels like.

cheese is woke now

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

As a Wisconsinite, I hope Musk knows that we weren't just voting for her, we were voting for him to fuck off.

a small reddish brown dog sits on a wooden table and looks at the camera with big brown eyes. her fur has little white accents around her eyes and nose, a patch on her chin and chest, fully white toes, and a tiny white spot on the top of her noggin. she has a lovely magenta flower with tall yellow center perched on her head next to her right ear.

This is Bambi. She loves flowers. Because just like her, they bring immense joy into the world while remaining impressively close to the ground. 12/10

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.
