Sell your Tesla.

“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

I post so much more about mental health now than politics, but at this point in history they really are the same thing.

Thank you, Southwest Airlines

So beautiful

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

I’ve tried to understand this but there is simply no good reason at all. Rampant sexual assault remains a problem in the ranks but they don’t want “DEI.” It’s all such bullshit. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

I can’t believe this needs to be said, but cutting funding for cancer research is not how you make America great. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

6 states proposed bills that would classify abortion as homicide: Indiana, S Carolina, Oklahoma, N Dakota, Texas and Idaho. Underage girls can be married off legally in all 6 of those states. It’s not about protecting life, it’s about oppressing women.

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out-
because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

#ProudBlue SCOTUS gave the Felon immunity to do whatever corrupt thing he desires The Felon gave Musk permission to do whatever corrupt thing he desires The GOP in Congress are looking the other way, not caring about the corruption Dems are speaking out loud and clear and America better listen

When the loathsome piece of shit is gone, one thing I am always going to remember is the cowardice of the people who went along with him.

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

They are who we think they are

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the nation’s largest private funder of biomedical research, yesterday killed a $60 million program aimed at making universities’ STEM education more inclusive. scim.ag/3EtS0US

Because there are moments I need to cry

Me after watching the House Oversight Committee Hearing as Nancy Mace screams bigoted slurs.

Here’s some Vladimir Kush art to make your Tuesday a little better.

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING NEWS: Three of the largest unions sue Felon47 for allowing Elon Musk to access and transfer our Social Security information.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I don’t know about you but this Monday night I just need this little laugh

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

This whole trade war is because Justin is just so damn fine.

For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog Me: is clairvoyant, yes

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

📌Jonathan Harris's painting is still the most prescient thing I've seen during these past eight, awful years.

You know, if a small percentage of the US Electorate were just fine with a woman President, I'd be sitting here on a Saturday morning, enjoying my coffee, and not Doom Scrolling wondering what on earth is going on

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target. Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 www.reuters.com/business/ret...
