These people must be ignoring Musk backing right wing groups in other places. They must think he doesn't intend to use Twitter to do the same misinformation campaign again. The only saving grace is that it can be seen how badly it is going by others and that Twitter is not as popular overseas.

Trump next.

African Americans or Black Americans. Which I am one. Let’s not Eurosplain here.

The far right is winning elections across the globe. Demonstrating that Musk and Trump are a part of a trend that will have devastating ramifications for non-white people in every corner of this Earth. I’m not debating Musk’s legal authority - I’m talking about the impact of his current power.

Also, saying “run the world” doesn’t mean I lack an understanding of global politics. It’s a saying. Beyoncé asked who run the world. Girls. That doesn’t mean every president is a girl.

You believe on American leaders are complicit and working with Musk and Trump? That’s impossible.

Oh so you can respond but my response is deemed as taking it out on you? Meanwhile, you said “just the US” but now you’re “aware.”

The rest of the world is not immune or exempt to the dictatorship and facism we are experiencing in the states. What happens when people who earn a living here and support families in other countries are mass deported? Oh nvm. Euro centric poster.

Mind you, there's an uptick of white supremacists movements GLOBALLY that directly cite Trump as the propeller and catalyst. People need to get real

Several of you have responded to me with comments such as this. The impacts of Trump & Musk have global ramifications. They’re cutting off HIV aid in African nations. They’re wrecking havoc on the global economy. If you think Musk, a Dutch colonist is going to stop with the US you’re silly.

"It doesn't affect me"

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Twitter crashed and is still down. The SpaceX rocket fell out the sky. CyberTrucks are spontaneously combusting. But there are people who trust and are allowing this man to run the world.

With federal and corporate layoffs actively occurring and looming, I know many are seeking jobs. I am sorry this is the reality. Please take a look at the Shelby County job portal &the City of Memphis job portal. We always need great people in government. tn-shelbycounty.criterionhcm.com/jobs/457/1/

Always a joy to catch up with two leaders I deeply admire and love—Supervisor Holly Mitchell & Mayor Michael Tubbs. Their visionary leadership and unwavering compassion continue to inspire me, especially in their work advancing guaranteed income initiatives across the country.

Dear MSNBC, 'I'm glad you kept this show on, said no one ever."

Non-elected President, Senator and Representative, His Majesty Elon Musk sent an email to all fed employees asking them to respond with what they did last week, stating failure to reply by a deadline will be taken as a resignation. Here is a statement from the AFGE President in response.

📣 Announcement 📣 The General Sessions Court Clerk’s Offices will be open during regular business hours tomorrow, Thursday, February 20th from 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M. 📣 Anuncio 📣 Las Oficinas de La Tribunal de Sesiones Generales estarán abiertas mañana jueves 20 de febrero de las 8:00 A.M. - 4:30 P.M.

My seat will be challenged by Rs before it is time for reelection. There is a strong likelihood I’ll spend the next two years in court or staving off the word “ouster.” I’m not afraid. I work harder than any GS clerk before me, but my work ethic is not the point.

My dad told me to write more and argue less. Even though he meant write a book or article, yall can blame him and this ice storm for these posts. I might actually write an oped about how bad 2026 will be for Memphis if we don’t act now after this midday nap.

“Memphis is bad. Just look at property values. People don’t want to live there.” - a commenter Roll your eyes because im about to say it. Low property values in the city’s core and people leaving are a result of racial & class bias supported by the government aka white and/or middle class flight.

Math. I did that so you don’t have to go through that. But here’s my question on this good snow day, if this is the math, where are we focusing solutions? Why are we trying to paint nails on a broken arm?

Snow day thoughts…I might do this all day.

Shelby County General Sessions Court Clerk’s inclement weather update: We will be closed on Wednesday, February 19th due to inclement weather. We will resume normal business hours on Thursday, February 20th. The 24/7 Clerk’s office will remain open for business as usual. ❄️🌨️

Team General Sessions helped over 250 people with expungements and Drive as You Pay enrollment, giving them a fresh start. Thanks to our host, Criminal Court Clerk Heidi Kuhn, and New Direction Christian Center, we were able to support individuals in taking a positive step forward.

Yup. The right wing extremism is a feature not a bug to him.

This is too true lol

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

The CFPB union has just sued Russell Vought over shuttering the agency

saw another skeet full of replies from white liberals saying we should leave people in red states to die millions of Black, brown, and poor people live in red states and either don’t want to leave or can’t leave. disrespectfully, fuck all of you who leave people to drown. gross.

There’s something very America about the rich old white guy who didn’t do shit holding up the trophy like a hero while standing in front of the Black man who actually did everything.

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month. Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

It looks like Kendrick has won for now but sources tell me Drake has a devastating rebuttal planned for his performance at the Kids’ Choice Awards

Kanye West is really lucky that our society only places female celebrities under conservatorships.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I know complaining about NYT headlines is old hat, but this is NUTS to me – every word choice glamorizes him as an exciting provocative badass, instead of focusing on the danger and illegality of what’s happening

This taxonomy of Trump statements from @george-lakoff.com, who first laid it out in a 2017 @onthemedia.bsky.social segment, still feels pretty relevant. Listen: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA: www.404media.co/national-arc...

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

I pretty much always learn at least a little something from @onthemedia.bsky.social and this week it was that the vast majority of entrenched democrats are absolutely still not up to the realities of this present moment and need you to call them and harangue them every single day until they get it.

The sky is falling, the wind is calling Stand for something, or die in the morning Kendrick Lamar
