Be like Rosemary #HandsOff #April5

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

lol checkmate libs *crashes the economy*

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Taking a super nice train in Italy for $45 and thinking of how cool it is that our taxpayer money back home will buy Ethereum to bail out David Sacks.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

Oh you could say I dabble in Photoshop #teslatakedown @niedermeyer.online

The problem with people like Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk, is they lack the self-awareness and familiarity with decency to be ashamed after shockingly inappropriate or rude behavior.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

Trump & the oligarchs are openly robbing the US by the billions, the US treasury should be surrounded by protestors daily, the Whitehouse & Mar-A-Lago gates impassable by the masses. Asserting physical pressure against the regime is necessary, the calls and emails you send your reps & senators too.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

Trump just called for a *permanent* displacement of Gazans from their homeland. If you’re on the left and you didn’t vote for Harris, I don’t wanna hear a DAMN thing about how someone needs to do something.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

NOW would be a great time to have a VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD response from Congressional Democrats on Elon Musk's unchecked takeover of our federal government...

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

If you’re a government employee, thank you for your service & here’s a resource you may find helpful. Stay strong. www.civilservicestrong.org

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

One thing Americans need to adopt from Europeans is having a little espresso in a tiny cup at the end of the day. Also free healthcare.

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less. Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

I'm just going to say it: this shit is not helpful. It is transphobic. Knock it the fuck off.

This woman is a national treasure. Thank you

Elon: *makes an unambiguous Nazi salute during inauguration speech* The entire American press:

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

waiting to see if that Cybertruck will be spun as a terrorist attack or a design innovation

NEW: I think Congress should object to Trump's electors, and bring a bill to the floor to disqualify him under the Supreme Court's new rules for Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Here's why: www.muellershewrote.com/p/congress-s...

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

has anyone ever added up how much money was spent on the metaverse and NFTs by the people we’ve given tax cuts to at the expense of our healthcare and disposable income?

The #h1b1 fight highlights the knot that the GOP has tied itself in. If we want more American tech workers, we need to invest in education.

Elon, Vivek and all other RW tech-bros

Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work. I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.
