No people are “garbage.” That is the language of fascists. We need to rein this racist lunatic in.

This time SpaceX is the victim

Musky is cranky 😅
🤨 Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was pulled from SpaceX’s upcoming Crew-12 mission after allegations he photographed confidential SpaceX materials in California, violating US export-control rules.

He’s been replaced by another Roscosmos astronaut.

Heavily armed, masked men drawing weapons on... folks sitting in their car.

Yet another ICE/CBP/DHS outrage.
DHS agents appear to profile 3 Hispanics in a car, aim their guns at them, order them out, arrest 2 without warrants, and then unconstitutionally hold one of them, a US citizen, until she proved her citizenship to them. Why threaten to shoot them?

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.

That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.

Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Spurred by the President, a new craze is sweeping across America. Workers from all walks of life & political persuasion have decided that "sleeping on the job" is perfectly acceptable.

The effect on the economy is unknown, as staff at Bureau of Labor Statistics are fast asleep.

Trump on if he supports the second strike on a drug boat: "As far as the attack is concerned, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I didn't know about the second strike. I wasn't involved in it."

The fact this juxtaposition isn’t the headline in the news on a daily basis really illustrates just how mealy mouthed major news in the US has become.
They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

Fuck this. Fuck. This.

I know people spend so much time talking about Jeffries and this bullshit but this man deserves to be primaried, removed from power, and chased out of Washington, D.C.

People like this continuing to hold power will only deliver a fascistic failure of a future.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, who's paying you? Stop praising an overt authoritarian. Stop praising the guy who's trying to tear down civilization. Stop praising a dark tetrad. Stop praising the guy who does everything Putin wants him to do. We don't trust you as house minority leader. Resign.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.

Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

There's truth to this. The real "elite" are the people with so much money that they can completely isolate themselves from 99.9% of the population, and have no idea how most people live, what they struggle with, what they want and need, or how they feel about greedy billionaires wrecking the planet.
I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.
