It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Sigh. Having a viral moment over on The Bad Place and so much of it is folks who are infuriated at the idea of historical expertise because it doesn't flatter their notions that history is about Great Men and the Greatest Man, invariably either Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Smaller regional auto shows like these take place around the country all of the time. There are also lots of EV-specific "butts in seats" events. Reaching potential Tesla buyers who may not be online makes these events a high-impact educational opportunity. Look for one near you! #TeslaTakedown

The words and actions of America’s leaders show they believe that having dark skin or having a vagina is a reason a person shouldn’t be allowed to pilot a plane, while having a drinking or drug problem is not. That’s their priority, and they’re fine with the flying public suffering the consequences.
