The country founded on stolen land, built largely be slaves and Chinese laborers, that wouldn't let women vote for over a century ... Yeah, we've been this way a while

@talia_christine
Yup, just like we gave up talking about the "land of immigrants" or "rule of law"

The S&P500 is back almost exactly where it was two weeks ago (when it hit a record high).

The Trump Bump to the stock market is completely gone. Destroyed as the markets realize how destructive Trump's government will be.

Sure, Musk and a few others will get plenty of gov money. But the rest, are screwed.

Yes! It's not about the product or the customer base

@glynmoody
Yes, it went very well on Twitter. Musk effectively turned the world's "town square" into his personal propaganda megaphone. It didn't need to serve anyone else.

Now, he intends to do the same with the US gov. He doesn't care if it functions for citizens. It will exist only to advantage the wealthy and their companies.

@jeffowski
I call BS

The Dem party is a much bigger tent than that. You've either been reading too much progressive media (or rightwing media that misportrays Dems as lunatic progressives)

@jeffowski
Great, but can you add white men who voted for this? No voting bloc was bigger than that one.

I used to wonder how the people who lived through WW1 made the choices that led to WW2.

Now I know.

Rule # 1: Do Not Comply in Advance

It's the very first, f'ing rule, and they're failing already. The US Archivist should be replaced.

I think you're on to something here.

I've thought he isn't running to win for the past two months. Clearly, he want to incite more social unrest. Could be that he sees this as something to "trade" in exchange for his cases dropping.

I see that having 0% chance of success with Pres Harris.

Outstanding work by #BBCNews investigative reporter holding the powerful to account.

More of this please!

Now the news media are fact-checking absolutely insane conspiracies about controlling the weather? JFC!

It is past time for media to change tact. Instead of a fact check, the story here is that disinformation is being pumped out and *READERS* need to review their sources and reject those spreading the disinfo.

Historians will look back and marvel at how we let a handful of billionaires poison our minds and planet

Musk fought the law in Brazil, and the law won.

There's a lesson there for every jourisdiction.

Yet again, the evidence shows the lack of affordable housing arises from too few homes being built - a primary reason being that councils and housing assocs lack funds after 15 years of Tory austerity.

Ranked choice is great, but more work needs to be done to make it more widespread.

In the interim, vote for the true blue in the primaries. Once the candidate is set, vote Dem.

@rbreich
If Republicans win the Senate, even if Harris wins, they will hold open any seats until a Republican president.

This election, the #SCOTUS is on the ballot - and only a #BlueTrifecta will allow change.

Dots are being joined. New reports shows how major tech companies (and other industries) are supporting the far right around the world - ultimately undermining democracy itself
