This quote from p. 2 "Defeating Dictators" by George B. N. Ayittey hits a little closer to home than I expected when I bought the book: "a force is able to dominate because the counterforce is either nonexistent or weak." see: US GOP government coup #usdemocrats #booksky #readalong #readresistrise

Musk killed these people.

While you're at it, rename other things! Maybe you'd like to live on Easy Street? Or would you like the city named after you (I could live in Ashtonville)? Or perhaps it's finally time for Google to admit that Canada is America's Hat. #resist #google #floodtheline

Accumulation of capital is just a race to be the richest man in the world--one we are currently watching between Musk, Zuck, and Bezos--and a disregard for who must be destroyed to pave the necessary path to the top. A pile of bodies can still be climbed upward. (3/3) #capitalism #racialjustice

Thank you. It's all extremely broken. On the dubiously up side, I think it is being burned to the ground right now. Sending you all the love back during these end times.

We are still systemically sympathetic towards the perpetrator, not the victim. I am no longer protected, and while the judge tried to put the fear of god into him, here I am, vulnerable again. (3/3) #usjustice #tpo

Why did I ask for protection? Because he wouldn't leave me alone. Because he threatened my family with a gun in his hand. The judge was sympathetic, but was tied to the law, which only allows for one year of protection, regardless of the reason. (2/3) #usjustice #tpo

Yesterday I was not granted an extension on my Temporary Protective Order (aka restraining order) because the offending party did not break the rules for the year I was protected. This is a broken logic system. He left me alone *because* I was protected. (1/3) #usjustice #tpo

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Senate Slammed With ‘1,600 Calls a Minute’ Amid Trump Chaos Many of the calls are urging Congress Democrats to “fight harder.”

A Republican senator has revealed that the Senate is being slammed with “1,600 calls a minute” amid the chaos of Trump’s first three weeks in office.

Keep stirring up good trouble!

People need to start describing Trump/Musk in exactly these terms, as desiring and working towards the goal of killing off/disabling millions of vulnerable people.
This is their goal, this is the solution they envision for a world "too burdened" with life that is not white, male and rich.
Eugenics.

Kanye is a raging, unrepentant antisemite.

And: if you’re criticizing Kanye for his antisemitism and extremism but not Musk, it’s worth asking why.
