Who else **isn't** watching this self-indulgent exploration of how to describe American fascism without actually using the word?

Just did a quick trip in a very efficient EV and noticed the energy used was about 20 times more than it would have been by an ebike. 🚲 ⚡ 🚗 ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Ebikes are key to transport decarbonisation

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Binged what's currently available of Common Side Effects last night. Highly recommend. Genuinely surprising.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

The last WI Supreme Court election saw the end of gerrymandering and hope for reproductive rights. All that could be reversed. This will be the first big race since the Presidential election. A progressive win will show the broligarchy is not inevitable.

Hey media, when Trump "jokes" about staying for a 3rd term, make it a front page headline for at least one day. We dare you. If you keep it there for a week, we might even think about a path to forgiveness.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Thanks, America, for making me have to explain to my kids why it's so freaking insane that Kash Patel is the new FBI Director. Just utterly burying the concept of law enforcement as anything other than rich people's security guards ... seriously, kinda flummoxed about how to explain it.
