I’m working on a longer thread on this, but to be very clear, we do not issue social security numbers (SSNs) to undocumented immigrants or foreign workers. If they have an SSN, they are documented. They may be a refugee or asylum seeker or have Temporary Protected Status. But they are documented.

Not opposed to bombing Iran—most Iranians would love us for doing it as long as the scope is limited to the regime, but if we're going to do it... we need real Americans running intelligence agencies.

It's all grift, top to bottom. Musk's "random winners" are hand-picked. Here's a reward for a rising Wisconsin GOPer. What a scam. Dude won't even honestly break the law to buy an election, he's even gotta rig that to benefit his friends. #teslatakedown

How is it possible that Netanyahu literally comes out and says Israel is 'not hiding the plan' for ethnic cleansing and Israel's official twitter account posts it and not one western media outlet covers it? Never forgive western media for ignoring Israeli war crimes. Never forget

In case anyone would benefit from knowing this, I am one of the most obsessed people about streamlining electric motorcycles. I have a kit R&D effort and track OEMs. I am grateful that a 4+ year long period of migraines is tapering enough now that I can talk more confidently about this.

I'll also just go ahead and say: the politics of visibility are not the politics of solidarity; I'll celebrate the latter, but the former feels to me like a deeply individualistic worldview that makes no demands of cis people

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

I'm not interested in another decade of hearing about all the things we can't ever do. Your lack of imagination and desire for progress isn't my problem.

Think it's a coincidence that President Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, who (along with his wife) donated more than $1.8 million to the Trump 47 Committee before the election?

I think it's important to note we didn't see any violence or vandalism in reporting on these protests. The only aggressive behavior came from pro-Tesla/Musk counter protesters (throwing water, pepper spray) bsky.app/profile/andy...

I'll say again that if there's a #TeslaTakeDown picket near you, you should go. Bring some fliers, a sign, and talk to folks there. I've had great convos every time I've gone.

Among other things, this is a reason why we Europeans find it so hard to understand the US. Surely this sort of thing is basic to a functioning democracy.

‘Since 2019, I’ve watched young people across the country make a similar choice — turning away from a Democratic Party that once promised a “hopey, changey” vision but now feels distant, performative, and unwilling to fight for a future we deserve.’

We do this, though! "You sit too much" is literally blamed for disease! I get unreasonably angry about "standing desks" because office workers can stand up and stretch whenever they want, but retail workers can and do get fired for sitting down.

Elon, whose net worth is $342 billion and who was literally handing giant novelty $1 million checks to people in exchange for their vote and/or agreement to be impregnated by him, complained about the political influence of George Soros, whose net worth is $7 billion, 2% of his own.

As I was saying at a party earlier today* there is a difference between “Soros funds this specific NGO” and “this protester has no agency and is a puppet of a Jewish billionaire” and it’s the difference between criticism and antisemitism *invite me out I’m very fun

Look, as someone who has left the country (and is trying to move back!), I strongly support anyone who's leaving to find better opportunities (just don't apply for asylum unless you want your entire life ruined). But Snyder's On Tyranny is a mid book at best and he's going to make bank on this.

If a parent forced their 5 kids to sit down with a loaded handgun and play Russian roulette with each other, they accomplish the same result as if they decide to not vaccinate their kids. Except in the latter case, there is now a whole media ecosystem that'll turn the parents into celebrities.

they don't actually want to 'rewrite the Social Security codebase' or whatever, they just want to destroy it going "wow, not really possible, hehe they don't know what they're doing" is less useful than saying "their only intention here is destroying Social Security"
