The Tesla Takedown
It’s not about getting more mad, it’s about understanding what to do about it.

Don't just settle for punching random Nazis. Be an actual patriot and kick the one proudly running our democracy into the ground right in the only fucking place a billionaire can feel anything at all. *HARD*. #TeslaTakedown niedermeyer.online/2025/05/09/t...

Damn it - the year I miss TSO, they not only perform a chunk of Beethoven's Last Night, but add drones to their already insanely over-the-top visual production. youtu.be/8HCo51flPJ0

Remember the part in the old Peter Pan play where Peter tells the boys and girls in the audience that if they all just clap harder they can save Tinkerbell?
That's what Trump's Cabinet Meeting reminded me of. A bunch of children wildly applauding him, all in an effort to bring him back to life.

All good cons eventually crumble, and we’re starting to see the earliest signs that Trump's MAGA movement – one of the most destructive cons in American history – may be poised to fall.
It’s coming, I tell you. And it’s going to be spectacular.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

Not surprisingly, 70% of ICE deportees had no criminal convictions and again, nearly 43% did not even have criminal charges. Again, the fact that the US doesn't let people answer for the charges against them shows utter contempt for due process and the rule of law.

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

Honestly. Whenever I hear someone claim that Socialism doesn't work, or is somehow worse than the Capitalist system that's choking us to death, I know that I can safely disregard anything else they have to say.
Their voice becomes that of an adult in a Peanuts special, though, which is always fun.

1 / A few things about Trump. First, he’s crazy. We know that. Second, he’s easier to glaze than a Christmas ham. If someone is nice and charming, he’ll discard whatever vitriol he previously spouted. Which bring us to the third thing.
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."
