Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

He’s not on our side.

Elizabeth Warren: "Look, Elon Musk is right about this. He's got it exactly right. The idea of borrowing $3.5 trillion on the nation's credit card in order to be able to give tax breaks to the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg is financially nuts. It's terrible for our country."

the same people who spent years bitching about “purity tests” for centrists like not abandoning trans people and making sure everyone can get an abortion are withholding support for zohran until he says exactly what they want him to on israel

the pathetic thing about these statements from dems who met with zohran is that they want attention for simply meeting with the biggest name in politics at the moment but don’t actually have anything to say

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

11,000,000+ at the No King Protests. We hit the 3.5% rule!!! The "3.5% rule" states that no government has been able to withstand a challenge from a nonviolent movement that mobilizes 3.5% of its population. Way to go United States!!! You understood the assignment!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

this is lovely work

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.

the most surprising and disappointing aspect of becoming a global health philanthropist is the existence of an opposition team

Remember when Elon Musk said Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife MacKenzie Scott was destroying Western civilization by giving billions to charities for women, minorities, and marginalized groups?

After learning about his comment, she doubled her donations.

Perfect response.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Oh myyy

“We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought’s wife wrote in 2021 on Instagram.

But as Julia reports: “Vought appears to be shutting that door firmly behind him [with] a dizzying range of attacks on lifesaving medical research at NIH and beyond”

Musk's team takes control of key systems at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the latest target of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

The closure of CFPB highlights the grand lie at the heart of DOGE.

CFPB is cheap to run & delivers billions to victims of corporate scams. It’s the definition of value for money.

But X & Meta hate it because it targets big tech fraud.

DOGE is not about waste. It’s about enriching the oligarchy.

we gotta bring back "broken windows theory" but for billionaires

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

A brave US protestor crashed the Superbowl, put on by US oligarchs, during its halftime show by waving a Palestine and Sudan flag to raise awareness about human rights & the humanitarian catastrophe in both countries. Both tragedies made worse by Trump and Musk's cuts to USAID. #3E #USprotests

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE!

Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

A book is brand new every time someone reads it for the first time. There's no such thing as coming late to any story.

Elon Musk, enemy of ‘open borders,’ launched his career working illegally Investors in Musk’s first company worried about “our founder being deported” and gave him a deadline for obtaining a work visa.

“Upon not enrolling [in college], [Elon] Musk would have had to leave the country…He would not have been allowed to work.

While overstaying a student visa is somewhat common and officials have at times turned a blind eye to it, it remains illegal.”
