"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

so uh turns out i am wrong i don't have two weeks i have a week to finish this

The SNAP program costs just under 100 billion a year It costs the average taxpayer about $36 dollars It provides food for 42 million people Tesla approved a $1 trillion for Musk He could feed everyone. Bezos could feed everyone. The Walton’s could feed everyone The billionaires are the problem

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents. This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children. The cruelty is the point.

Oh hey, remember this bsky post from *checks my watch* 6 days ago? Let's see how it's going now... OH WOW! Who could have seen this coming? Me. I did. I said it. Out loud. Regularly. Constantly. Every single day. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-...

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.” -Zohran Mamdani

Uninstall Fortnite, let them know you do not fuck with this collaboration. Hurt them in the things they care most about, their wallets and player base. If I see anyone even playing this ass I will be heavily judging you, you will no longer be an ally. If you BUY this collab, you're dead to me.

"Only the best!" In sniveling, cowardly pieces of shit people

RFK Jr ran away from that guy collapsing because that's his m.o. mass death from his actions and runs away when it gets close to holding him accountable and leaves it for everyone else to try and fix. That clip made the perfect metaphor of his legacy

Taking credit for the wins when he and schumer flat refused to endorse or even acknowledge the ones running

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

there was a point when I thought that calling genAI "the aesthetics of fascism" might be a bit much, but as far as I can tell reactionary backwards-looking false consciousness nostalgia and/or the laziest corporate advertising possible is basically the overwhelming central use case for it, so...

well as i don't have my government benefits i can't pay off this debt if i could get assistance i have 2 weeks to clear this or they take away my only way to get funds if i am ever in need of assistance ko-fi.com/astragobbowi...

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected. Now think about how you feel after last night's election. You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out. You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off. Remember this.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

ZOHRAN: “SO DONALD TRUMP, SINCE I KNOW YOU’RE WATCHING. I HAVE FOUR WORDS FOR YOU: TURN THE VOLUME UP”

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

He's such a good speaker 🥺

lmao, exactly the POV I wanted to see

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

He's so good at this.

Ogles too

White people really be like “I have no choice but to vote for the sex offender, the other guy is BROWN.”

the mainstream taking betting and gambling companies as seriously as journalism is one of the greatest evils of modern society

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

not only does the richest known nazi in the world endorse andrew cuomo but he’s boosting it as a paid ad on twitter

Agents forcibly opened the woman's car door and pulled her out by her legs, dragging her through the street. They did not identify themselves or tell her that she was under arrest. The citizen was held for hours before being released without charge. trib.al/tYMBPec

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people. Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend. And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold. Priorities.

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally. This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough." Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

Trump pardoned Binance cofounder Changpeng Zhao after Binance made a $2 billion investment in his family’s crypto venture. Now Trump is claiming he has no idea who Zhao is. Hello?

THIS.

I'm very frustrated with algorithms on social media. Instead of seeing people I follow, ads and suggestions to follow others are shoved at me. So I decided to paint this watercolor to vent my frustration. Someone said, "Why'd you do that? It ruins the landscape!" Exactly! Just like algorithms.

Notice that lgbtq people and non-Christians are left with no way to get help. That’s the agenda. He wants destitute LGBTQ people to simple die with no way to get help. That’s what people mean when they say “churches should handle helping the poor” This is why we need annoying atheists again.

they've been saying this as long as the ACA has existed, "repeal and replace", "we'll show you our plan in 2 weeks", ad nauseum, and you know their plan is just an even more expensive and deadly version of how things were before

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. We must overturn Citizens United.
