There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part.

There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.

Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

GM just announced a round of layoffs, impacting 1,000 workers.

But the company reported Q3 earnings that put it on track for record profits this year.

Its CEO received $27M in compensation in 2023.

And GM announced $6B in stock buybacks this June.

Textbook corporate greed.

Donald Trump has picked Brendan Carr as his FCC chairman.

Carr was a co-author of Project 2025 and wrote an entire section about the govt agency.

Remember how Trump said he didn't know anything about Project 2025 or who was behind it?

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter/X.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

His insane nominations...

His promises to deploy the military on home soil...

His threats to go after anyone who opposes him...

Now, there are messages going out to specific communities threatening deportation and "re-education camps".

It's by design.

His objective is to fill you with fear

Trump's team is in "preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps & other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.”

Medicaid, food stamps are now on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Rep. Mike Simpson’s (R-ID) reaction to the question if Matt Gaetz was qualified to be Attorney General: “Are you shitting me, that you just asked that question? No! But hell, you’ll print that and now I’m going to be investigated!” Truly one for the history books.

Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
