I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this:

People are "quite amazed" by Version 14 of Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" software, Musk says.

Amazed that they're still getting away with this scam after nine years of empty promises?

The @nytimes rightly taking heat for burying coverage of the massive protests in tiny pics below the fold on the cover and the story on page 23 — while saying they drew “thousands” (it was millions) and glazing Vance’s marines stunt.

What’s going on in there?

🧵1: Google updated their satellite images of Mariupol. The sight is horrifying.

For over 3 years russian occupiers have closed off the city. war crimes are being covered up, evidence erased.

In the outskirts; terrifying amounts of rapidly growing unmarked mass graves!

Abject fucking humiliation for everyone who works at Apple. They could have merely provided a big headline of building products in the U.S., investing in manufacturing, the bullshit that would count as sufficient appeasement. But this performance? Tap dancing as they build concentration camps?

"It usually takes years of propaganda to get people to accept camps. But exposed to enough propaganda, a majority will come to either embrace their neighbors being rounded up or tolerate it out of fear or confusion."
I wrote more about Florida, how to think about naming, and big-picture strategy for pondering your own interventions to be sand in the gears of the many abominations we'll be faced with in the coming months and years.

The far-right dominates X—because the owner of the site wants it to be used for fascist propaganda.

It’s simply not an effective tool for spreading a progressive message because his hand is on the scale.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.

Here is the data, NOW can you see the big glaring problem?

1.205 billion tons would be an INCREASE over last year’s loading numbers.

And when they say that loading would be DOWN 36.7 million tons…
Here is Total Loading:

I don’t know how long it’s been since Russian Railways has had loading numbers this low for April, but certainly longer than I have records for.

If Trump is going after the colleges, the only response is mercilessly and relentlessly going after the lifeblood of the conservative movement—the dark money.

Right-wingers have spent years using phony claims of censorship to justify efforts to silence their opposition.

It’s time to fight back.
