If you buy anything at all from Tesla, you are endorsing a corporation that chose to give a trillion dollars to this man:

Don't let up! Don't let someone who hasn't been grocery shopping in thirty years tell you who's electable or not, or what ideas are "realistic". If you genuinely care about the future and your neighbors, not even two dozen billionaires can stop you! runforsomething.net

Now can we please convince establishment Dems to get on board with supporting young, progressive candidates???? Hello, @democrats.org??? Y’all listening??? We turned out in record fucking numbers on an off fucking year!!!!Maybe try pandering to us for a change if you’d like us to keep doing that 😒😒😒

What this country desperately needs to stop doing is adoring insane wealth and luxury. Elon Musk's pay package, Trump's gala, and the extravagant weddings of celebrities...the only sensible reaction is disgust, and the only thing they should feel is embarrassment.

i fuckin hate elon musk man

Today marks 30 days of the government shutdown and federal workers -- 750,000 were furloughed -- are barely making ends meet. @telliotter.bsky.social + @makenakelly.bsky.social spoke to federal workers struggling to pay bills, working side gigs, and relying on free food programs to get by:

All you anti Muslim bigots who spread nothing but the most vile hate against Mamdani, I'm here for your meltdowns and tantrums. I'm all the way petty. Your tears are sugar for my chai.

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴 First who is everybody? Scott Bessent is the Secretary of the Treasury so cabinet member from hedge fund land.

He'll be filing the jobs report in the same place as his perpetually "under audit" tax returns.

If you need to contact SSA, please also remember that the person who's helping you is working without pay. Agency admin staff are furloughed, so they're also without the internal support they need, all while being a punching bag for people who won't take, "I can't legally do that" for an answer.

🚨🚨🚨 SHUTDOWN INFO: SSA is open and functioning (mostly)!!!! You should not miss payments you are expecting, if you do, please let us know. Field Offices and phones are open and staffed!!!! Here is the list of things we are not allowed to process during the shutdown so please don’t yell at us for it!

Yeah, good luck pulling feds over to your side, Trump. After the last 9 months, I'd be surprised if his approval among civil servants was even scratching double digits.

So they are thinking about raising the age for retirement or raising the tax on everybody. Literally anything but raising the cap for the super wealthy. “Bisignano said generations that will collect Social Security in the future "will probably have a different set of rules." Love that for us. 🤬🤬🤬

I think the whole “wait for the midterms” strategy has worked about as well as I thought it would.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

First, they came for - Hold on, someone's knocking at the door. Brb

Check out this thread for a list of other cancellations and boycotts to fight back against this fascist takeover of our media.

man, i know there are plenty of serious and sober types on here who are skeptical of the great khan, but i think he has some of the best instincts of the entire party right now

Anti-fascism is the American way. My grandfather fought at Normandy. Against fascists. So unless you’re cool with calling the heroes of WWII terrorists, I’m gonna need all of us to be in agreement on this point. Because if we aren’t anti fascism, then we are for it. Make your choice. I made mine. ✊✊

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration. Things are about to get very very bad.

And do it now. Today. Show them there are immediate consequences.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

this is probably a good time for you to consider whether that disney+ subscription is worth it just to watch andor for the fourteenth time, tbh

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I subscribe to as many elected officials as I can, and it's always surreal when a big story breaks and they're still all just posting about some tax credit they're proposing or the 4H club they're visiting.

January 23, 2025:

So, let me get this straight... The First Amendment forces private entities to give hate speech and violent rhetoric a platform and megaphone. But It doesn't restrict the government from abridging the freedom of speech from critics. I had it totally backwards all this time.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet. So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here: Please save the thread & share with others! GROYPER EXPLAINER THREAD: 🧵👇🏼

Absolutely the whole fuck not y’all. Shut it the fuck down.

Live by the sword, die by the sword is a paraphrase of a verse in Matthew. If you’re fine with shooting someone because they’re an immigrant or an 11 year old ringing your doorbell as a prank or potentially my kid,‘because he’s just going to school and you actively promote all of that…

Republican lawmakers are shameless, complete hypocrites. They truly disgust me.

This.

To everyone treading carefully to not give the right wing fodder to demonize the left.... It doesn't matter. Yeah, they're hypocrites. Yeah, they'll lie about the left's reactions. Yeah, the media will take their spin as truth and never ask about the hypocrisy. Fuck them and fuck what they say.

Raju: Have you seen that letter? Burlison: I would like to see it matched with his handwriting Raju: Here’s the letter Burlison: I don’t want to see it

This is the social elite of this country. The class that's worshipped and held up as the "American Dream" while they gobble up our resources, disregard the law, and evade all accountability. They have more rights than you, more influence than you, and are despicable subhuman trash. Be angry.

I feel like there's a non-zero chance that there's actual footage of Trump signing that card while wheezing out whatever he thinks a laugh sounds like.

Posters for movies that nailed the prophesy...

Elected Dems: DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THESE FUCKERS They want nothing less than a one party system now. There is no bipartisan solution to that.

It's wild how politely asking grown ass adults to wear masks and stop coughing on produce was the second coming of Stalin. But military takeovers of cities based on who they elected is totally cool patriot freedom USA.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

"If there's going to be a showdown, it would be far better that it revolve not around whether Thune & Johnson are being sufficiently bipartisan in the negotiations — which voters won’t be aware of & couldn’t give a damn about if they were — than what Republicans are actually doing to the country."

As we progress further into the abyss, it's essential that we not forget how your gov is *supposed* to work. #AltGov is here for you. Click the follow all button for explanations of how events affect the represented agencies. Tag an Alt with questions. We work for you. Country > Party

It's interesting to get a look at what was going on at the top while beneficiaries and agency staff endured the downhill flood of shit. That said, who the fuck does Dudek think he's fooling? Trying to retcon his idiotic public statements and agency sabotage as self-sacrifice? What a tool.
