INTERVIEW WITH MANAGER OF BUILDING THAT IS BLOCKED BY THE TESLA SCREEN
The screen blocks their view and the power supply is so loud, the tenants can no longer even open their windows.
It's another example of how Tesla is, at best, a bunch of douchebags.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

The reason Democrats refuse to say "abolish ICE" is the same reason they refused to say "defund the police."

Because they serve the interest of the wealthy over the people they have sworn to protect and serve.

The revolution wasn’t won so one man could choose who’s “worthy” of rights.

Every authoritarian rises by convincing the faithful they’re the chosen ones.

By the time they see the truth, it’s too late.

In a 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk told investors Robotaxi would be deployed to half the US population by end of 2025. After falling short of that goal by literally 100%, not a single #$TSLA investor will call him out for it on today’s Q4 earnings call.

Today, Rep. Al Green @algreen.house.gov committed to impeaching both Kristi Noem and Donald Trump.

"This is about life and death."

Do leaf blowers work during the whole day, or only in the early morning when I am still trying to sleep?

I got kicked off TikTok in the Fall when I speculated the obvious connection between Trump & Epstein. I never went back.

Here's what I said, bc I was so tired of media asking the question and never trying to speculate or editorialize a reason for evasion (pdf pipeline):

It's a real shame how Kamala's campaign team let all things Trump 1.0 be memory holed.

I guess Darnold shed the "pumpkin" label, and now we have example #60 of how badly the Vikings screwed up - by letting him go.

Now do President Trump, the man who's bidding she performs.

Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. 🧵

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Co sign
Running for office?
What's your platform?

Here:

- Impeach all who are responsible for the regime's lawlessness. Convict and remove.

- Prosecute all of them; justice for the many victims. Trials & military tribunals.

- #AbolishICE and #AbolishDHS.

- Truth and reconciliation. See So. Africa.⚖️
The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
