EV sales in Europe: up 38% Tesla sales in Europe: down 45.2% Breathe it in folks, breathe it innnnnnnnnnnnn www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Read the room. Everyone in America hates this, and hates Musk. You're a Senator. Fight this bullshit!

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This is the way: if they won’t hold a townhall, hold one without them. Let their voters know that they’re hiding.

Everyone should write in, “got shitfaced and brandished a chainsaw like a dork.”

Watching @maddow.msnbc.com last night, and seeing all of the cybertruck mockery ... and protest videos ... and the clips from town halls, with citizens booing their reps ...

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Also note the number of WOMEN stepping up and showing the courage this moment demands.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I can’t get over the fact that the GOP’s base is filled with people who honest to god believe in the possibility of an antichrist and yet nothing about these guys trips their radar.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Journalists unfortunately have to take their phones to protests but if I were anyone else I would be staring hard at that device and wondering whose side it’s really on

Another free idea for the @democrats.org: Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website. Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.

Temu Nosferatu

Grimes’s son just told Trump “I want you to shush your mouth” in the Oval Office Chileeeee…

Just did it myself. Just because.

Mike Pence texting JD Vance today

I feel the same way seeing Steve Martin + Marty Short in Wells Fargo ads. WELLS FARGO of all banks?

Fabulous 🇺🇸💥

More of this, America.

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

This is incredible reporting and an important read. WIRED has been absolutely running circles around NYT and WaPo. I bought a subscription. They're going to need our support when Musk and Thiel try to sue them out of existence Gawker-style.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

“My greatest wish is to be a journalist..." -- Anne Frank Seeing that quote over a doorway at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam 23 years ago was one of the most clarifying moments of my life. Never stop telling the truth.

A street artist in DC is putting up these posters all over the city. I’d love to get one.

😂

Oops 😬

This is hilarious.

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫
