#tesla dealerships in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DC-MD-VA) at Georgetown, Washington DC; Rockville, Maryland; Tysons Corner and Arlington, Virginia were sites of weekend protests. #elonmusk #teslatakedown #BoycottTesla Full story and video

I think one reason for chatgpt's appeal is its relatively stripped down plain text interface. If I want to go to a different website to understand what a Roth IRA does I probably have to deal with a bunch of goofy ads and promotions. The people long for simple plain text websites

New: My dispatch from the hottest club in New York City on Friday — the Luigi Mangione hearing. Truly one of the most fascinating scenes I’ve ever witnessed. With illustrations from inside the courtroom by the great Molly Crabapple www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

At some point we need to realize that corporate media isn’t going to inform people and figure out a new plan.

If you appreciate Teen Vogue’s journalism, support the workers who make it possible! Sign the petition!

@whitmanwalker.bsky.social how can this be? How can you betray your legacy this way?

This has been commented on but I don't think it can be said enough times - it's really remarkable how Israeli bodies are returned in coffins in solemn and ceremonial fashion, while Palestinians' plastic wrapped bodies are heaved out of trucks and onto the ground like garbage.

Istg if you're an editor who is sanitizing headlines about Steve Bannon giving a blatant Sieg Heil salute you are going to Hell I know some of you fuckers are on Bluesky

lol can’t fuck with the LES

Republican rep getting shouted down by his own constituents at a townhall in a deep red R+30 district is something.

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

The answer to this question is "Because they don't believe disabled people should have any rights" and it would be great if we could just say that in the news media

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

I see they started with the copyeditors.

Anyone feel like following to test this for Ali?

"It happened because correction officers have been held accountable for their actions, and they feel threatened because they can be prosecuted for killing an incarcerated individual." "They want to go back to the good old days of just beating and killing guys, and not being on camera."

Chuck Brown gave his music its name because it “goes and goes.” At the new GO-GO MUSEUM in Anacostia, the music finally has a place to stay wapo.st/4gMh9aJ

What do people think eugenics looks like?

Hoping some more politicians notice how quick this can make you a hero

Social Security for All, anyone? *bats eyes charmingly at @aoc.bsky.social and @jbpritzker.bsky.social*

Life expectancy at birth dropped in the Gaza Strip by 35 years between October, 2023, and September, 2024. Here’s the study in The Lancet. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

I literally cannot emphasize this enough

This is Science, in fact: “Patients treated by female surgeons have improved 30-day outcomes [and] lower rates of adverse postoperative outcomes including death at 90 days and 1 year after surgery compared with those treated by male surgeons.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I can't believe I'm saying this. BUT YES Kathy, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO DO. TELL PEOPLE WHO TO BE MAD AT!
