Great piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social comparing the burgeoning anti-Tesla/Musk movement with the anti-apartheid movement of the 70s/80s. And not just because of Musk's South African roots.

Elon Musk, apartheid, and America's new boycott movement
If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices
The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Speaking for myself, I was rather grateful for the advance notice of that hurricane that came charging through here several months ago. Especially since the last hurricane that hit this area full on was ~100 years ago, so we don’t exactly expect them like that.
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26
