✊ Sam Altman!!! “Sam Altman didn’t just reject the offer; he did so with flair, suggesting they might consider buying Twitter instead for $9.74 billion—a cheeky nod to Musk’s previous acquisition”. He said:

“No thank you but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want,”

To which musk responded with one word: “swindler” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hot damn, and that's coming from an authority on swindling. The Nazi Elon Musk has succeeded almost exclusively through swindling, so he knows it when he sees it.

It’s true, Altmans done some shady shit too

Maybe stop posting the same comment and link everywhere, your spam clearly isn't having the desired effect for you, whatever that might be.

We’re just sinking deeper and deeper. I cannot comprehend all of this what a nightmare.

I just asked my husband, “Where does it end?!” I can’t even fathom where the bottom is, but we’re headed there on a bullet train.

Anita, 💯🎯. 😢

That's what Americans voted for. The cheers for the saluting POTUS at the Superbowl were real. Disturbing, but real.

I hate what you said but it’s true. I feel so hopeless. I want to stop being told to call my congressman. Where is our leadership?

Robert Dempsey's avatar

At what point, given the flagrant disregard of the admin for the court orders, do you think we can declare the rule of law null and void?

Diane Lee's avatar

RAISSA, I fear you are very correct 😭

Stephanie Traynor's avatar

I fear you are right. All the protests in the world will not help, court cases will take years to argue at a high financial cost and the other side of the aisle has no power. The end of this will hurt many and help the very wealthy corporations. Get ready for a dystopian world

Diane Lee's avatar

Heather, imagine living through 4 years of this shit again? 🤬😢

Lori Carter's avatar

That’s exactly where I’m at.

Kim Resnick's avatar

It’s very hard right now to not feel helpless. Reading about the constant DOGE lies. I really feel like we are in a dystopian novel.

Last fall, my husband and I booked a vacation to the Bahamas where we fly out on 2/28. I really doubt my travel insurance will reimburse us if my reason for cancelling the trip is “my president is killing people who fly”

It while trump is president

Some say it’s all incomprehensible or they can’t take anymore. When I hear that I think: enslavement of Africans, pogroms, holocaust, blitz, siege of Sarajevo, napalm, etc etc etc. We must continue to comprehend the incomprehensible. We must take what we must resist.

Aryn's avatar

Thank you for this comment. I needed to hear this. I'm feeling very overwhelmed today, but you're right, we must keep resisting.

Pippa's avatar

Canadian here. Curious to know what Americans are doing as "resistance". We run our own little resistance from here as boycotts and "Buy Anything But American". I sent out a sheaf of emails on the weekend to Canadian leaders regarding the proposed US approach to Gaza. I read a lot of "but what can we do?" from Americans but other than phone calls and emails you''ve all got jobs and families to protect too. I'm sorry..

Robert Dempsey's avatar

Protests, boycotts, daily calls/letters to our reps, creating mutual aid and other networks. I'm also doing a Substack live series on prepping for liberals and helping protestors with logistics to help keep them safe.

Michael Broder's avatar

Individuals and organizations with standing have filed dozens if not scores of lawsuits to enjoin illegal and unconstitutional moves by the Trump administration and a rogue Elon Musk. A number of temporary restraining orders have been issued as well as at least two preliminary injunctions. Now Vance & Musk are floating the idea of simply ignoring judicial orders, which is a very bad thing to do in the United States and will lead us truly into constitutional crisis territory if we are not already there.

Elaine Reeder's avatar

It's really bad considering all the agencies that should be arresting these cretins have been whittled down to loyalists. We are not ok.

PamC's avatar

I think you are our BELOVED neighbors and we Americans love Canada. I posted how great it felt to see that North Vancouver had deleted their X account and 2000 people liked it and in the comments said it felt like “help was on the way”! The most likes on a post I have received to date.

You might find some solace and encouragement by reading Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. In a nutshell: people can survive almost anything if they have purpose. Now is a good time for us all to know and hold tight to our purpose.

Michael Broder's avatar

Oh good, thank you. I meant well but I feared I might be doing harm with that comment

Robert Dempsey's avatar

Agree. We need to move forward with eyes wide open. It's a semi-slow boil, but the water is bubbling. Let us remember history.

Elle D's avatar

Here we are, together, watching our beloved democracy die.

Remember when we thought 2020 was the worst thing we've ever experienced?

Karen's avatar

Doesn't it make everyone feel better that "Big Balls " is now a senior advisor! This has to end and not in a good way for Musk,Trump and the rest of the cronies!😡😡😡

Ilene Walton's avatar

I have this strange feeling that it’s not going to be a pretty ending for all them while this big balls thinks he’s on top for now everything comes to a end and prison starts

Tamaya E's avatar

Another plane crash? This is exhausting

Sharliegram's avatar

Oh no. This terrifies me. My granddaughter has to travel the world for her present employer....🙏☹️

Kathryn Murphy's avatar

Thank you Aaron. This must be tough for you. Thank you for keeping us informed….even when the news is hard to hear.

Sue sauve's avatar

I was gonna fly to my mom’s at the end of summer, but honestly, I don’t think so now I’d rather take the bus

Raquel's avatar

There will ALWAYS be Black History Month and Pride Month. Just like the GULF OF MEXICO will ALWAYS be GULF OF MEXICO.

Robert Dempsey's avatar

I will NEVER call it the Gulf of America. JFC.

Dannielle's avatar

Just an idea, every single thing he does or fire should be hiring attorneys and suing. Maybe it will slow them down for a min if he gets inundated with lawsuits? Otherwise it seems they will just be doing what they want without any consequences? No rules for them. Got it

Robert Dempsey's avatar

So far there are 40 lawsuits that have been filed with more on the way I'm sure.

Oklahoma-DOGE. The articles coming out about it are hilarious/scary

Diane Lee's avatar

RAISSA, yes, I got mine done a year ago when it was up for renewal, AAA center. At least MA is standing up to that orange monster by suing.

Michael Broder's avatar

Great roundup of an especially dystopian news day!

Wyn Doe's avatar

What is the total number of plane crashes since Flaccid the fool took office?

Cindy Donaldson's avatar

There isn't enough bourbon in the state of Kentucky for this daily drama. oh - are we not supposed to be drinking bourbon now? Are we all boycotting red state products - it's exhausting.

Ariah Spotofora's avatar

Are plane crashes this common? Or are we just paying more attention? Cause this is crazy!

Lauren H. Bauler's avatar

It used to be safer to fly than to drive, but in this case, the answer would be no

flore's avatar

Here's a link to the US Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard: 2008-2023 https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/StatisticalReviews/Pages/CivilAviationDashboard.aspx

They've been happening for a while, we just have chosen not to pay attention until now.

Susan Schremser's avatar

Thanks Aaron! Have a safe trip.

I’m now driving everywhere
