#scrapthecap

Today at the #TeslaTakedown protest, Tesla's hired security straight up stole extra signs I had left for others to use and refused to give them back until a passing police officer intervened on my behalf. Also, a literal Nazi tried to intimidate protesters with a dog and smeared feces on car doors.

Trump: They don’t have the cards. China: … @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/b...

Every single one of these cowardly law firms is enabling the growth of fascist authoritarianism. Every. Single. One. They are accomplices of fascism.

REMEMBER THIS ONE!

Elon can't find examples of Federal government waste, so he just makes up numbers

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

The media and its little collection of recurring weirdo characters who invariably turn out to be cranks, con-artists, nazis, or con-artist nazi cranks. I like the immortality weirdos the best, because they die or disappear and get replaced by new models. Who now profiles Aubrey de Grey, for example.

I guess running the government like a predatory business doesn’t work so well after all.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

He voted for Trump. Now he’s unemployed and dying of a disease that would’ve been cured had it not been for NIH cuts. Still, he has no regrets.

This part

They done Martha dirty

The debacle from last week has guaranteed one thing fersure:

Sorry, America. We can pay cancer research teams or we can pay to fly Trump and his entourage to a UFC fight in Miami. We can’t afford both.

Maybe we are being occupied by people not-so-secretly working for Russia?

This is true.

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

I would tell reporters to ask: who was hurt any any of this - the capital B, the pronouns etc? Who was injured? How? Did anyone lose money because of it? Was anyone prevented from getting a job or health care? If they answers are “no,” then ask right wingers, “why are you so wigged out about this?”

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

Some news from the man who lies about everything

Just a reminder that these are the people purporting to be outraged by antisemitism on campus. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed, thanks to spineless Republicans… Mr. Cod Liver Oil should resign ASAP, it didn’t take long for him to start costing American lives with his disqualifying health beliefs, not based in science. He needs to go before something much more catastrophic develops…

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.
