Amazing day out here and across the country! We have over 70 people at this store in Pasadena. Won't post shots of the crowd, up to others if they want to. This is just the beginning! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

Doing great 👍

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

This is fascism.

The biggest inaccuracy movies taught us is that villains are cool. Not talking about the moral aspects, just that they would look and act stylishly. Real world evil is so frequently dorky, schlubby and banal.

Zelenskyy in a new interview: I blocked the agreement with Trump on mineral rights as it does not protect Ukraine interests.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

In fairness to JD Vance, he's not wrong that Canada has seen massive increases in the trafficking of fentanyl across its border. He's just a bit confused about the direction it is flowing. The US ships 22 TIMES the fentanyl to Canada that Canada ships to the US. And Canada is a smaller market.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Behind JD Vance's destruction of our values in Munich: Few Americans would welcome an elected leader from Germany or France who gave a speech on our soil, urging politicians here to stop shunning the Ku Klux Klan. Yet that isn't so far from the message delivered to European officials by Vice…

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

And on FOX NEWS, no less.

📌There has not been a president in my lifetime who has purposefully inflicted pain on people like this one. He is completely dead inside.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Plot twist. Flynn backs down after a year of stupidity. I have questions to be answered still. Thanks to my incredible legal team of @markzaidesq.bsky.social and @bradmossesq.bsky.social!

I heard a news clip yesterday that the people in Texas getting measles are NOT vaccinated. Gee like who didnt see that coming, MORONS

The Eagles said “Fuck the White House. We ain’t going” Bruh…. How do you suppose to not like that team? For the one time, Go F*cking Birds

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Trump officials to begin peace talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff are likely to meet with senior Russian officials in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss an end to Russia's…

Modern day politics. We’re never getting to rainbow land. This is the best it’ll get.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

No notes.

Imagine being so pathologically reckless and instinctively contemptuous of public service that you accidentally fire nuclear scientists

Walking the dog. Like I do every day. She pooped. Like she does every day. I picked it up with a little baggie. Like I do every day. But today, instead of waiting to toss the bag of fresh, steaming dogshit in a trash can at home, I left it on the hood of a double-parked Cybertruck. Where it belongs.

The community note 🤌😘

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

You know, if they'd just STOP doing Nazi shit all the time, we'd stop calling those fuckers Nazis. It's not that complicated.

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

The recent arbitrary firing and rehiring of hundreds of employees responsible for our nuclear weapons stockpile was reckless and incompetent. As a member of Congress overseeing this agency’s funding, I will demand answers. www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...
