Genuinely worse than the first thing Trump was impeached for.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

it's really saying something that this is how an apparent friend explains Elon's goals www.vanityfair.com/news/story/e...

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

Just set for a second aside the clear, unquestionable illegality and unconstitutionality- boy oh boy would I not want to politically own a postal service reorganization. Literally zero upside and cavernous risk.

Pretty much every story about Trump seems to take this form. In the headline, describe Trump's threats or actions with vigorous-sounding language ("take control," "fire"), and then at the end of the sub hed conclude with the most muted possible way of mentioning its illegality ("Experts call").

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

People who hold high public office should be expected to make personal sacrifices to uphold the law and civic virtue both as the act themselves and to signal to others what is acceptable and what is not

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

After the Civil War came the greatest economic and technological miracle in human history. After this nightmare, there will be a new dawn, and a newer, better America.

In a remotely functioning republic, he should be begging before Congress, for his life's sake, that they believe he was joking

Obviously there’s lots of stupid here but it’s also not immediately clear that Elon Musk is a “public official”, as this letter suggests.

This is what pisses me off about all of this. The rise of the NSDAP came as a result of losing the bloodiest war fought in European history. The return of MAGA is the result of boobs in video games being too small and not being able to go to Applebee’s for a few months in 2020.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.
