Yesterday hundreds of New Yorkers shut down a Tesla dealership in Manhattan. 6 people were arrested. Elon Musk is an billionaire Nazi operating as a unelected shadow president robbing our country to enrich himself. We aren't afraid to say so. We will shut down business as usual.

one bad tic of supreme court coverage is inferring way too much from whatever the most recent case is. amy coney barrett sided with the libs in a couple of cases, and i've seen a bunch of speculation about whether she's moving left. she voted for presidential immunity like 9 months ago!

In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

Speaking as a rural Democrat, the strategists’ push to the move Dems to the center is ill-advised. No one needs Republican lite when there’s a Republican already on the ballot.

This article proves how incredibly consequential the choice to resist instead of rolling over can be. These brave people are helping everyone, far beyond their own agency’s reach. Let’s all learn this lesson (Article also does a good job contextualizing Trump/Musk lies every time they’re relevant)

Wild how Shadowrun today feels like an optimistic alternate future. Native Americans gain independence from the U.S. government? A benevolent dragon becomes the president and governs by suicide? People still communicate primarily through message boards? Sign me the fuck up.

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history. We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

When I was in Ukraine, we had an app that gave an early warning that gave you time to get to an air raid shelter when a launch was detected. This warning info came at least in part from US/NATO AWACS planes monitoring Russian skies at long distance.

In light of the news about Columbia, I want to reiterate a point below by me and Levitsky: universities, collectively, are among the most economically powerful and geographically thick sectors in the US. If they stood up together in opposition to this tyranny, they would be incredibly powerful.

USAID expenditures were publicly available information so claiming DOGE has revealed new information means you just didn't want to use a web browser to look it up. The Pentagon has been audited, failed every audit and lost trillions of dollars. Trump won't do shit about it

this chill on speech is not only anti-democratic, it’s also part of a pattern of directed violence by trump towards his enemies that goes back years and is why he should’ve been barred from running again. never forget who was on the wrong side of that, they can’t be our leaders in the post-trump era

the Reagan-worshipping CIA wing of the Democratic party is memoryholing their own triumph in September, when they convinced Harris to shelve Walz and make out with the Cheneys and stop talking to the base. they got what they wanted, watched it lose, and immediately rationalized away their fuckup.
