The Tesla store protests have been going on for months all over the country. They're an almost entirely peaceful, grassroots, people's protest. The momentum they've gathered can't be credited to any group or organization, but solely to the rage of a citizenry faced with a fascist autocracy.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

After seeing what defensemen are going for right now it's kind of hard to justify keeping Provorov in Columbus. Especially if they're not adding anything.

This is beyond McCarthyite. Every law firm in the country should condemn it, and Perkins Coie should sue over it. This is textbook First Amendment retaliation, and even our current Supreme Court will say so, if given the opportunity. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Sale of state assets was what created the first generation of Russian oligarchs. They're running plays from a known playbook

His administration is gutting our civil rights and public services under the guise of cutting “waste, fraud, and abuse” while literally running a pay-to-play scheme from Mar-a-Lago. Every accusation is a confession.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Tariff wars and robber barons, white supremacy and Comstockery, sewage in the water and measles on the march. Truly, he has Made America Gilded Again.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

To be clear, the "menace" Trump is railing against was the single most important anti-corruption reform in decades. The "invasive" rule merely asked the owners of shell companies to divulge their identities to the Treasury Dept.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

A constituent asks Senator Roger Marshall (R, Kansas) why DOGE is firing so many veterans and the man just runs away. I’ve seen some pathetic behavior in my life but this might get first prize.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
