Elon Musk should be nowhere near the federal government or its classified information. Repost if you agree.

The Blip. Putting things in terms folks might understand. Elon Musk is essentially playing the role of Thanos. He is seeking to liquidate the staff of the US government in his vision of a better future, but one that ends in tragedy. That understates the moment because this is not a movie.

If Elon Musk did in the private sector what he's doing in the public sector, he would face a multi-BILLION dollar class action lawsuit for illegal breaches of data privacy and transparency.

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL.

He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico.

He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it.

The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.

Per the WSJ: "The dumbest trade war in history: Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for no good reason"

Do you agree?

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Everytime a senator sends out or says "Congress must act" like they themselves aren't part of Congress, I can hear @pearlmania500.bsky.social screaming in my head. Also yes this is pointed at Chuck Schumer. Don't just say it, do it. Quit being a bunch of losers and do your jobs, protect democracy.

Yeah dipshit, it’s a crime. He’s openly doing a crime. AGAIN. Maybe go tell the government that you have no control over.
Donald Trump’s administration is jeopardizing billions upon billions of community grants and financial support that help millions of people across the country.

During the first week of Trump’s presidency, Republicans aren't rolling out a health care plan or telling us how they'll lower the cost of groceries—they are focused on attacking women, criminalizing doctors, and lying about abortion.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

I think the thing I like about the TikTok debacle is that everyone in a position of power who is involved comes out looking like an absolute moron

There are so many things I would ban before TikTok, including SUVs and assault weapons…
