You know it’s bad when the WSJ has to tiptoe around calling Trump a wannabe dictator.

This is why the left loses, continues to to lose and can’t stop losing. Hysterical purity policing. We have to move past it.

Unfortunately, Harvard and the other Ivys did not “make a vigorous defense of higher education and principles of free speech and democracy” when it was under attack by the illiberal left. My guess is they can’t do it now bc their leaders still don’t really support free speech.

Elon is not a genius, he’s an ego maniac. His one true talent is bullshitting rich VCs to get them to fund his sci-fi dreams. Now the mask is off. He is officially the most dangerous man in the world.

The first priority should be for people to get elected to their local election boards. Volunteer at the polls. Pass state laws to ensure fair elections. Stand up to election deniers and nihilists.

Bill Kristol is a true conservative, in this case conserving classical liberal values. TBH, I don’t hate it.

elon musk, whose compensation is $56B, hasn't shown up for work at tesla since at least november. the stock has fallen by a third in the last month. if it loses another ~$65, the company could go under. you would think the board would call an emergency meeting to replace him as ceo.

Hi Trump

The markets are waking up to Trump destroying the liberal consensus that made the expansion of wealth in the 20th century possible. It’s not just $TSLA. All the securities are tanking as panic seeps in.

One thing is certain after today’s spectacle between Trump, his sycophants and Zelensky — the Trumpist right is openly pro-Russia.

It seems likely that Trump will take NY tax dollars and spend them on red states if we don’t knuckle under his corrupt grift. All NYers should put their federal income tax in an escrow account held by the state govt until they give up their bully tactics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/n...

This is Musk trying to run government like a business and it perfectly encapsulates why that's bad. When I started my company, we moved fast and did a lot of dumb things because we didn't know what we were doing. You can do that when it only affects seven people and around $50,000.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

I’ll never fully wrap my head around the world’s richest, most influential people constantly whining about “elites” and pontificating about what must be done to them with supervillain grandiosity. I can grasp it intellectually and explain it, but not at all relate. Very weak, and incredibly weird.

Google used Wikipedia as the model for content production — information is created for free by volunteers and monetized by a “platform.” Information that’s free to all is an illusion that gave rise to our current info-dystopia.

1/10 Ignorant, evil, or both? Elon Musk is either out of control or losing it by openly supporting a German pro-russia, pro-china, anti-US, national socialist political party. His interference in German elections should not be tolerated!
