Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking.
It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department.
This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

Protesting and boycotting Tesla and Target is good.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.
Why?
It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.
Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

one of the most effective things that can be done to remove musk from power *and* break the republican party is destabilize and destroy tesla's market position, because wrecking tesla's largest shareholder means wrecking the republican party's primary financier
which is why the Tesla takedown stuff matters
i think they mostly fear musk's ability to pay to primary each and every single republican member of congress, because a lot of their donors dried up in 2024 and are even less likely to bail them out in 2026

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence.
That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received.
The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.
