This is an important point I think. Opposition to Musk isn't based on philosophical or political views. It's between people who know when they're being conned and people who don't. Whether we still have a functioning country after this depends on how many of us fall for the wallet inspector gag
Yeah yeah he’s cringe but can you imagine being dumb enough to fall for this shit? Like oh sure the worlds richest man with billions in government contracts is saying that disability payments are the real scam, he seems legit lol

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law
Reminder: this is completely lawless

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

Obviously there are more pressing issues given the rise of fascism and all, but I don't think my psyche could handle going back to Steve Ditko Spider-Man berating protestors or whatever 😬

Not gonna lie, the collapse of the shitty tech bro house of cards has provided some much-needed schadenfreude in the wake of the constant barrage of bad news lately. I know it won't amount to much, but maybe it'll at least delay the AI-generated dystopia they've been pitching.
Days like this are always a fun reminder that the rich play games with more money you and I can physically comprehend. I know this is stock market shit so we're playing fast and loose with reality but man I'm just thinking about all the gofundmes I see that need like a grand and God fuck the rich
Nvidia now biggest single day loss of a company ever. $600 billion.

Openly, plainly: this is Social Murder.

Donald Trump is murdering HIV+ people, and making that murder the policy of the United States of America.

Understand the magnitude of what is happening here.
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

This fecklessness is going to drive me over the edge. Anyone voting for Kristi Noem is a useless waste of Senate space.
give us a bit of time we've only had three months to prepare! it's not like Trump is a known quantity or that we were handed a complete roadmap for everything ahead in the form of a handy book of policy intentions they released like monologuing villains
“We’re obviously in a bit of disarray,” a Democratic senator told Semafor. “I don’t think people are really completely sure about what lesson is to be learned in this election.”

“Give us a little time,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin also said. “This is brand new.”

The right have often been accused of aspiring to return to some 1950s version of America, but to me this seems far worse.

Porn as an industry has plenty of problematic elements, but that isn't what this is about. It's about making any expression of sexuality taboo and punishing sex workers.
This is not a drill. They’re now proposing a bill in Oklahoma where making, owning or possessing porn means 10 years in jail.

Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers introduced SB593, bill to criminalize p*rn in the state of Oklahoma. Calling porn an addictive “drug”

Trump pulling Fauci's security detail gives off a very "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" sort of vibe. I have to wonder how long he'll feel the need for even that much subtlety.

There are going to be so many suicides because of Donald and his MAGAt handlers.
LGBTQ youth are calling crisis hotlines in record numbers

Fears have escalated with the Trump³⁴'s anti-LGBTQ actions and the release of his J6 goons onto our streets

Image below has hotline numbers that can help

We have to stick together. We must remain visible. We can not obey in advance

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.

Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴
