Musk may get to be a dictator at Tesla, but last I checked there is no Elon Musk Article in the Constitution — something he doesn’t seem to realize. He wants to delegitimize the courts because the next step is to shut down his whole illegal and corrupt DOGE enterprise.

Tesla sales are tanking in Europe. They're facing bankruptcy by spring. They can continue raising chickens in the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg. The same thing awaits them in America. Owning a Tesla car has become the worst curse.

“They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy.”

It’s also logistically impossible. It’s wrong. It’s unconstitutional. And every single federal employee should send @elonmusk & Trump an email and tell them both to go fuck themselves.

Chris Geidner at Law Dork nails it: "The mere fact of litigating can change implementation of policy to improve its application to those affected.... Failing to challenge illegal & unconstitutional actions means that Trump & his team will go forward & do more. That is not an option." ⚖️

While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye and—no they aren’t focused on the price of eggs—they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Cowards. Utter and complete cowards. There are people in this country who ACTUALLY have something to fear and act bravely anyway. They exist in the face of danger loudly. Proudly. And these cowards, WITH POWER I REMIND YOU, can't be bothered cus big scary Trump.

R.I.P. screenwriter, director & producer George Armitage, director of Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), Miami Blues (1990), Vigilante Force (1976) and Hit Man (1972) as well as film projects with Roger Corman. He died on February 15, 2025 in Playa Del Rey, CA. I'm sure most of his films are on TUBI.

RIP George Armitage. I rewatched GROSSE POINTE BLANK a few months ago and it held up magnificently. HIT MAN is another small gem well worth your time. And of course nothing beats MIAMI BLUES. thedissolve.com/reviews/1545...

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

If you take Canadian oil out of the equation, Canada actually has a trade deficit, and the U.S. has a surplus — of $58 billion. We supply cheap oil to the USA to ensure North American energy independence, so North America can never again be held hostage by OPEC countries. #Canada #Trump #cdnpoli
