My ultimate goal here is to say that Musk is leading an internal insurrection against the Constitution of the United States, and anyone who collaborates with him, accommodates him, or fails to act on their authority to arrest or stop him, has violated their oath under Section 3, 14A.

On the theme of constitutional failure and emergency, see this piece by my friend and colleague, Johann Neem. My one reservation is that I would place the Impeachment Clause atop my list of failed provisions. jneem.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

People in the EU are now putting up stickers that read, “Elon Musk is attacking the European Union. Boycott Tesla,” and “Elon, stay away from the EU.” These stickers, featuring EU flags and a link to StopElon.eu, appear on public EV chargers and other visible spots.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Their commitment to whiteness above all—above success, above health, above mere survival—always astonishes me. Machiavelli is groaning, covering his eyes, and shaking his head in bewilderment in his grave.

Most fiction books need about $10k in sales for breakeven. That’s what libraries do: we take a chance on new authors. Publishers are willing to take some risks bc they know libraries will fuel sales. Books sell on word-of-mouth marketing. Libraries—>readers—>recommendations.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

The rise of gen AI, backed at every level by the far-right, suggests the arrival of an _anti-information_ age. AI offers a self-reinforcing bullshit loop that, much like a Russian disinfo operation, serves to muddy the information space and create doubt about the very nature of reality.

Worth pointing out that Tesla’s charging network is surely their most valuable asset. Anything that hobbles other charging standards is a boon to Musk even if it appears “anti EV”

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.
