We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

The DOGE anti-waste guys keep trying to find the Pentagon, but they accidentally turn off 395 at Crystal City. It happens to all of us.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Yes! All of this right here. The fact that none of this is happening is both political malpractice and demonstrates a casual acceptance of the fascist shitstorm that’s underway. Somebody wake the Democrats up.

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

There’s an awful lot of “it’s over” and “we won’t survive this” going around. I’m not naive to the danger, I’m just not convinced these people are capable of destroying everything and I’m convinced there are plenty of good, capable, committed people who are not going to just roll over and take it.

15 Dems joined MAGA Republicans to vote YES on HR 9495. Here's a breakdown of this bill & how devastating it is for non-profits, free speech, & basic civil rights: www.qasimrashid.com/p/alert-hr-9... Fascism is taking hold and these 15 Democrats are happily helping. Just indefensible.

So if a Republican Senator thinks Matt Gaetz is unqualified and unfit to be AG based on his words and deeds, the richest man in the world will spend a fortune trying to get them voted out of office. MAGA rules through threats, fear, and intimidation.
