I mean this when I say Elon is the most dangerous man in the world. Truly supervillain level of danger.
So Musk is using a “budget cutting” committee as a front to gain access to classified information to gain a competitive advantage over his competitors, while the CCP is also one of his most important business partners. Worth every penny of that PAC money.

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.
Rep. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in a house of worship in accordance with her faith.

If you're a "doer" like me and actions (even small ones) make you feel a little less helpless, here's some broad, easy (or easy to start) ideas 🧵
General and obvious? Maybe, but it never hurts to repeat and some folks may be hearing this for the first time/reminded for the first time in a while.

Apparently you cannot say/post, “Free Palestine,” on Tik Tok anymore.
The application that aided in people learning about an ongoing ethnic cleansing, genocide, occupation, and was used in courts to showcase Zionism is now somewhere you cannot say a basic for justice phrase of the devastation.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:
"No, make me."
They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

Preposterous that someone nominally in charge of seven companies can act so deeply unemployed.
Buddy, I run one company and I’m trying to figure out when I can find time to take down the Christmas tree.

Imagine if they controlled all the media?
If every company, every newspaper, and every website kissed the ring. Imagine if they controlled where we got our news, how we talked to one another, how we shared everything about our lives, where we met and laughed and organized.
Imagine that.

Do not comply in advance. Do not comply when the law is in place. Resist.
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it.

Thinking a lot about this and our immediate future. I think we're in a collapse scenario. Ultimately, I think we'll be fine as a species but most of us won't live to see those better days. We're going to spend decades losing what we've had with untold suffering. Slow simmering indignity.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...
