An illustration of a diverse group of people seen from behind. One person is wearing a yellow shirt with the text "PROTECT PEOPLE NOT BORDERS" written on it. The group includes individuals with different hairstyles, clothing, and accessories, such as a person with a pink polka dot scarf, a person with a green bow, and a person with a hat featuring a bird. The background is decorated with stars and sparkles.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.
if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

This was my most popular video on #TikTok. Let's see how it does here.
I wonder when he'll try to appoint himself to the Supreme Court so he has a lifetime position of power. Maybe when Roberts retires so he can be Chief Justice.
When he does, don't expect him to give up the current role. He'll probably want to be named Speaker of the House too.
This is fascism.
Remember the days of "No one is above the law"?
Seems quaintly constitutional now.
it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in
There's a blood test for whether the body is immune to measles. I didn't know that until my physical last week, which is why I got an MMR booster. (And, like you, 3 others too.)
we could have made a future where everyone wears pajamas and does science
the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
The adage I live by is to buy the cheap thing at first and when it breaks get the expensive version.
If you use the cheap one enough to break down, you'll get the value from the expensive version. Has served me well with keyboards, headphones, kitchen appliances, etc.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.
If you were wondering what white supremacy looks like, it is when you deprive darker-skinned people in Afghanistan, who risked their lives to help American troops as translators, refugee status, but give it to white South Africans who only helped keep black people down with Apartheid.
Elon's DOGE isn't looking for fraud, it's looking to DEfraud.
That's why he sent in hackers instead of accountants.
More of this, America.
Melon Husk is like this century's Edison because everyone thought he was a genius inventor before discovering he was a rich guy who falsely took credit for Tesla.

I love living in America because of all the free speech

Asanda Zondi received a startling phone call last Thursday, with orders to make her way to a health clinic in Vulindlela, South Africa, where she was participating in a research study that was testing a new device to prevent pregnancy and H.IV. infection. The trial was shutting down, a nurse told her. The device, a silicone ring inserted into her vagina, needed to be removed right away. When Ms. Zondi, 22, arrived at the clinic, she learned why: The U.S. Agency for International Development, which funded the study, had withdrawn financial support and had issued a stop-work order to all organizations around the globe that receive its money. The abrupt move followed an executive order by President Trump freezing all foreign aid for at least 90 days. Since then, the Trump administration has taken steps to dismantle the agency entirely. Ms. Zondi’s trial is one of dozens that have been abruptly frozen, leaving people around the world with experimental drugs and medical products in their bodies, cut off from the researchers who were monitoring them, and generating waves of suspicion and fear.

If things are already this wild, what do we have in store?
I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.
The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.
I want our World Wide Web back.
