It’s outrageous that the Department of Defense would engage in petty, performative politics by proposing removal of Cesar Chavez’s name from a U.S. Navy ship. Chavez was a Navy veteran, a civil rights icon, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable.
Then:
- Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary
- Meta gave Trump $25M
- Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions
Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners.
Corruption.

11 out of 260 Democrats is 4%. we’re really going to throw out the whole party because of 4%????
I get that you’re angry today and so am I, but I’m angry at 4% not the other 249 (which is only the Dems at federal level. It’s not even 0.1% of all elected Dems.)

Why is Elon frantically tweeting about #teslatakedown and trying to intimidate activists? Because the protests are working. His stock is tanking, new sales are floundering, and used Teslas just aren't moving like they used to. Keep that pedal to the floor friends ✊ www.forbes.com/sites/brooke...

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)
Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.
