Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer finally releases a statement on Mahmoud Khalil.

Can Americans be prosecuted for refusing to buy Teslas? This Federalist Society lawyer thinks so.

Columbia University pushed out professor @katherinefranke.bsky.social because of her pro-Palestine advocacy. She joins @premthakker.bsky.social to discuss the systematic free speech crackdown at Columbia and across the US. Watch the full conversation: zeteo.com/p/columbia-t...

My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Democrats: it is fully within our control at this moment to make Trump lose that gamble.

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

This message deserves to be spread far and wide. lithub.com/a-columbia-p...

tiny homes should be really useful as climate change migration ramps up.

Mahmoud Khalil, disappeared for standing against genocide on campus. Columbia you should be so blessed that activists renamed the hall Hind's. Show up for Mahmoud or surrender your pedagogy.

If you can join a #TeslaTakeDown picket, I really recommend it. You will just feel better and you'll get to meet other people who are trying to do what they can to turn the tide.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Gender self-identification is the only way to maintain human dignity in a gender segregated society. Anyone who claims otherwise is either falsely assuming the genital police will never come for them or their friends or their children, or lying.

hear me out: a bar with endless Vera episodes playing in the background

some men are so roiled by trump because they were told they couldn't behave like that and conformed and in fact made it their ostensible identity....but now they're jealous and wish they could behave like that

An absolute must read!

this. and relatedly: you cannot build a feud progressive movement by tricking people. 'just don't call it socialism.....' doesn't prepare people to fight fascism.

"If we throw minorities under the bus, Republicans will stop calling us too woke" is the same logic that got us Clinton's welfare cuts and Obama's immigration crackdowns. You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem.

good morning once again to Al Green

The actual "winning" strategy is to be a party on the side of EVERYONE and to stress that you are PARTICULARLY standing 10 toes down for the most vulnerable people.

House Bill 335 is dead!

The thing is, I couldn’t imagine sitting near a black elder taking action as Rep. Green did and just… watching as he was removed from the chamber. I wouldn’t be able to sleep that night; I wouldn’t be able to talk to my ancestors after just… watching.

just checking but white lotus is still just a show about privileged white people, yes?

CW police brutality to disabled people As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.

i just checked in with the first 90 seconds of the meghan markle show and y'all were NOT going hard enough. not at all. ma'am.

50 mph gusts. no match for this born raised east idaho soul. it is above 50 here in boise. ergo, spring is sprung.

on a related note, has anyone ever paid someone to retrofit their home for fire resistance?

yall in idaho wot r we gonna do for insurance when the companies decide the fire risk is too high and pull out of the gem state?

The Christo-fascist Republican politicians in Idaho just did the most Jesus-y-thing ever: Took tax money from poor Idahoans, and gave it to rich Idahoans. Praise Jesus!

six times as many callers asked the idaho governor to veto as did to sign and he.....signed. ***** boise mutual aid distribution (distro) is tomorrow evening at rhoades skate park, 5pm. bring warm clothes pet food new socks etc

anyone else doing a lot of weighing the compulsion to speak out against getting someone unnecessarily in trouble these days? erring on the side of the conviction that your silence will not save you, but also trying to be strategic .... is everyone getting on signal, btw?

guys, like, i think nation states might be over? that stuff's so last century.

a bar staffed by appellate law whiz-nerds but call it Mooters

it's hard to embrace the freedom possible in a post white-supremacist world (this by design) until you mourn the time you wasted in between feeling the cognitive dissonance and reckoning with the fact your american seemingly innocent dreams were bound up with your success in racial capitalism

it's not a male loneliness epidemic. turn on an episode of dateline. it's a genocide of women.
