In the plot twist we all could have seen coming, Trump national security advisor Mike Waltz used Gmail for government comms. Gmail can be quite secure if set up properly (hint: passkeys), but I doubt that's the case with the guy who can't tell who he added to his Signal chat group. (gift link)

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

This seems bad for our future. The risk of having your visa yanked and getting arrested and deported for no reason Probably doesn't help.

Let me explain something that should be obvious: when you place somebody in custody, you assume responsibility for their wellbeing. Your job is to keep them alive and well, sometimes even in spite of themselves. Zero excuse for this. Care when it happens to them or idgaf when it happens to you.

Remember family separation, back in 2017? The same ppl who were behind that are behind this. Again, the cruelty is the point. No photos of toddlers ripped from moms. Not like last time. Dont let that make us complacent. The basis behind this is still illegal. It is still based on animus.

Protesting outside of Tesla shops is great for raising awareness, but it isn't going to do much to block sales. If you really want to hurt their bottom line, go inside and talk to the salesman for a long time. Time is money. Take a long test drive. Miles are money. Just don't buy one.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
