Toxic turd.
So many of the people who worked for Elon over the years or who currently work for him have heard “or whatever your name is,” and his gutter racism must be a real slap in the face. What a terrible person.

And racism is so much worse for business than democratic socialism.
Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Well, I knew I was a failure, but McSweeney’s confirmed it.
All these armchair critics need to get a life!

I didn’t realize McSweeney’s had pivoted to actual news instead of satire.

we don't yet know what will happen in tomorrow's elections. some will win. others will lose. but freya decided the hollow under a basket's handle is in fact a cat leg holder, and that makes her the real winner in my book

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

“While Republicans and white evangelicals may be “determined to have a king over us,” far more of us are united in seeing Trump as a fundamental threat to the future of American democracy,” writes @robertpjones.bsky.social in his latest.

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.
Mike Johnson: "These blue states have abused the SNAP program just like they've abused Medicaid and so many other government programs."
Fool.
Unbelievable. This is literally his answer to every new Trump scandal. Congenital liar MAGA Mike. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check
They are so chatty! Adorable.
Say it. People will go without food, and the Republicans are perfectly fine with that.
I think it’s hard for people who have never known food insecurity to understand this… children and seniors will absolutely suffer, KIDS AND SENIORS and republicans are a-ok with that… this is not the fault of the Dems, this TOTALLY falls at the feet of 47 and his goons. This DOESN’T have to happen.
Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD.

Actually and literally.

1. The anti-trans panic is losing steam, at least when it comes to elections.

New polls in battleground races in Virginia and New Jersey show voters prefer Democrats to Republicans on trans issues by double digits.

This as centrist groups urge capitulation.

The far right radicalization of young men is a serious issue. Fanning male rage was a big part of the MAGA movement and is part of the game plan on the Polievre Conservatives.
In my latest piece I discuss the toxic impacts on schools and democracy.

I know the world won’t care because it’s not some EVIL thing Trump just did, but yesterday I marathon streamed for 11 hours and raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they say will provide 100,000 meals for people in need.

This guy is sick.
Anyone who still uses X (especially any MP in Westminster) must give their head a wobble! Just why would anyone still support X, a platform owned by this divisive, racist moron who constantly undermines this country & threatens the peace & stability of our communities? #ShutDownXNow
