Thank you good people of Wisconsin for humiliating this arrogant greedy fake pro gamer cosplaying POTUS! 😂

YES! It's official. AP has called it. Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. The good people of Wisconsin told the tech billionaire that his money cannot buy them. 😃✊🏽 Big L for the cosplaying POTUS.
AP News Wisconsin Supreme Court Results April 1, 2025 with 73% of votes counted. 

Susan Crawford wins with 930,009 votes at 55.5%.
Brad Schimel gets 746,665 votes at 44.5%

This strategic move removes Musk's risk of getting margin called on his X debt as Tesla stock has been downsliding due to his antics. xAI will take on the X debt. Also, whereas Grok was a part of X, X is now a part of Grok.

It's significant that Elon announced that xAI bought X post market close on a Friday afternoon news dump. Why? In PR, it's seen as an attempt to avoid things like media scrutiny, public backlash or negative implications because weekend news is typically slow.

The Bern Identity @thebernidentity.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
Watch. Elon selling X to xAI is going to be a trend. He'll start selling his other companies to xAI (himself) so that it becomes one massive AI company and boosts his wealth.

This part -> "Unless there's a massive pushback against Trump's EO, all workers will be next." Looking at labor leaders. This has to be a rallying cry. Enough is enough. It's time the working class unites en masse and fights back against Trump's attack on workers.

Something I've been feeling deeply quite often lately. Who else feels or thinks about this?

We are not here to be exploited.

We, working people, are not here to struggle while billionaires hoard lifetimes of wealth. We are not here to survive in systems that deny our humanity.

Each one of us is here to thrive.

To be seen. To be supported. To feel alive.

Creating an economy that works for all of us isn’t just about economic policy it’s about remembering our worth and that our value as human beings isn't tied to what can be extracted from our labor. Prosperity is not a privilege for the few, it is a birthright for all.

Maybe it doesn't have to be a revolution. Perhaps it can simply be calling people home to that truth so they remember - a country, a world that honors everyone.

That we can have a future rooted in dignity, care, and connection.

Please pay attention to what the tech billionaires are doing in SF and Oakland to politically take over those cities and turn them into Network States. This is the template of their vision for taking over the US govt. We're getting a glimpse now with DOGE.

Neoliberalism is a losing strategy - lost TWICE to Trump. You're either the party prioritizing working people or the party prioritizing capital. You cannot be both. Bernie's coalescing energy because he's calling out the oligarchy take over and fighting for giving working people economic security.

5 years ago on February 22 the day Bernie was in Iowa City for his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, he won the Nevada caucus by a landslide solidifying his front-runner status in the crowded 2020 Dem primary. And being totally real, that was the last time I had real hope for the future of our country.
2020 Nevada Democratic Caucus results. Bernie Sanders 47%. Joe Biden 20%. Pete Buttigieg 14%. Elizabeth Warren 10%.

And according to Musk, the working class is going to have to experience "temporary hardship" for "long-term prosperity." Too many in the working class are already struggling living paycheck to paycheck while the 1% thrive. It's long overdue for the 1% to start paying their fair share of taxes.

We have to stop framing the political narrative as left versus right, and frame it as the people versus capital. Each side is defined by whose economic interests are being prioritized. We have a 2-party system where both Dems + GOP fight for capital - their corporate + billionaire donors.

It was revealed today that Elon Musk is not the official head of DOGE and he's not even a member of that dept. Here's what I want to know. Who at DOGE actually has a DOGE dept email because it looks like many DOGE team members are attached to other depts? What exactly is DOGE structurally?
"One common question has been how DOGE is organized. ProPublica learned that core members of the group use emails tied to the White House. Other members are housed within specific agencies with ambiguous job titles, including “expert” or “senior advisor.” And in several instances, DOGE members have simultaneously been assigned email addresses at numerous agencies."

😳 Turns out that that not only is Elon Musk not the official head of the DOGE department, he's not even a member of the DOGE department! So then WHO is officially the head of DOGE responsible for all the actions (including possibly illegal) that dept has been engaged in since its inception?

Truth is this is modern day Silicon Valley. It’s really been disheartening to see what tech has become since I started my career there in the 1990’s. Back then it really was full of smart people in charge building cool tech. Now it’s all about greed and power led by egos instead of substance.

Under NO circumstances can Musk be let to put the US Treasury on a blockchain by himself without any oversight and majority approval by Congress. He’s going to install software and systems that he can control at his whim. It’s unconscionable that he’s been given this much leeway already.
