Ok I know this is old-man irritability but I don’t care if Mahmoud Khalil has a pregnant wife, I don’t care if he and his wife are childfree, I don’t care if he’s in a fucking polycule with a hedgehog and a jar of mayonnaise, NOBODY should be detained for protected speech, including singletons.

I wouldn't sit in a Tesla with the door open and my feet on the pavement. Any company that designs a car that locks you in when it catches fire shouldn't be allowed to remain in business.

Musk is reckless, dangerous and incompetent and must be stopped. Make your voices heard at a #TeslaTakedown protest. Join or create a protest at Teslatakedown.com.

I feel like there's a big generational divide in terms of lib/left people that remember a GOP pre-Gingrich and those that do not. Not that Cold War GOP was sunshine and rainbows by a long shot, just in terms of remembering a Republican Party where you could read books without being called gay.

The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously. You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

The decoder ring version of this is that Trump is serving Putin’s interests, not America’s. That’s not a “normalization of the relationship;” it’s an entirely new relationship of submission. The hed and body are so twisted up with anxiety about stating the point plainly that it’s incomprehensible.

To defend the vitriol a bit: It is simply not true that most people who got leopard-eaten will learn their lesson. Even if they dump Trump, they will eagerly back the next fascist demagogue. This video is a helpful explainer. youtu.be/veGq9gcmc2E?...

A glance at popular Japanese YouTube comments in response to a TBS report about the Trump-Zelensky meeting: "Heated argument in front of cameras: U.S.-Ukraine summit ends in discord" - no surprises here, it looked terrible from the perspective of a US ally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aerO...

RFK is convinced that there are legions of children suffering unspeakably because they’ve been poisoned by vaccines. That he can’t find single one just convinced him of an insidious vaccine conspiracy. In other words, he is insane. And Donald Trump put in charge of America’s healthcare.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

It seems to me that this is an historic night - Europe has broken with America. It is no longer considered an ally. Hard to see how NATO survives this. America now stands with Russia. Europe opposes.

This isn't an exaggeration. Before Cockpit Resource Management became a thing, captains who acted like, and were deferentially treated like macho gods of the skies did things like let their planes run out of fuel or fly straight into the ground, and the other officers were too scared to stop them.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

White liberals don’t get to redefine DEI as “good vibes only” 🤙🏻 bc they believe they personally are good people who would never act in a discriminatory manner. At this moment pls challenge yourself to engage in the curiosity, intellectual work & empathy required to pull your head out of your ass.

If Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
