Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election.

Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine.

A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Because #DJT media is parading #KidRock again: thought y’all would appreciate seeing him talk about all the underage girls on his tour, how a roadie is appointed “Trim Manager” every tour & he didn’t care about their hair color at all. youtu.be/DRf4uP5RIC8?... 1/

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

No one believes me when I say #AmericasOnLifeSupport. Health professionals can’t save you when we are being systematically undermined & kneecapped at every turn.
#KeepEmSick is one of the ways to subdue a population & avoid uprisings. You think COVID was bad? At least we had a functioning CDC & FDA.

Well, her initial letter makes no mention of the orange bag of hot dog water currently squatting in the White House, but apparently her tweet did. I’ll have to dig a bit deeper—she could be hoping that sucking up might get him to pause the drone attacks on innocent fishermen, or she’s just gross.

This Will Hold @thiswillhold.bsky.social · 23h

I honestly thought she was trolling him when this crossed my path. Her original statement makes no mention of 🍊 and he’s taking out fishing boats via drone. Will have to do more digging. Bizarre.

This Will Hold @thiswillhold.bsky.social · 23h

So was I, her letter makes no mention of him.

Y’all. This is art. The “Nobel Grease Prize”—awarded to the man responsible for escalating violence in the Middle East, who ordered 500 tons of high-nutrient biscuits incinerated rather than feeding starving children.

Donald Trump: for trying to be the arsonist and the fire chief at the same time.

Our history: the U.S. failed to hold Trump accountable—we let him steal elections, kneecap Ukraine, fund genocide in Gaza, slash USAID, shut down our government, and send troops into our own streets—all to protect wealthy pedophiles who rape 12-year-olds.

WE are the shithole country.
