Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —

This weekend, a Russian satellite got reeeeally close to a Finnish-American satellite that’s been used to aid the Ukrainian military. We have no idea what it did, but it likely set a new precedent in modern space warfare.

Trump claims his administration is a 'protector' of women but his actions say otherwise... - Restricted healthcare funding for low-income women - Removed regulations that combated wage discrimination - Canceled over 800 women's health & research grants Not to mention: archive.ph/I84kV

every democratic member of congress should be giving meta hell right now, and every democratic state government needs to be announcing investigations for election interference — these were early voting events

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

Meta took their time fixing this action that was allegedly just due to "automated systems." I look forward to a more ample explanation than that just now from his flack by Zuckerberg to the next Congress, with internal Meta communications provided to back up their professed ignorance and innocence.

the political part aside, it seems like a pretty big problem that a social media company controlled by a conglomerate that includes two Hollywood Studios is banning an account dedicated to a film from one of its competitors!

TikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)

bit.lyTikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. The move, which comes just as the Alex Gibney’s investigation into Elon Musk expands to more than 470 screens across North America, raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.Distributor Bleecker Street was informed Friday afternoon a “permanent suspension” was coming. The entire page disappeared from TikTok’s platform shortly after. The film company had been planning to spend ad money to boost certain posts; that will no longer happen.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe.
