Balaji Srinivasan suggests giving Elon Musk “control of a huge swath of land surrounding Starbase, Texas” & designate that land as “a military base or … similar, so that [Musk] can fence it off & determine at his sole discretion who can enter.” Then replicate in other states w/ other Tech Bros. 1/

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

At this point we should just be calling republicans, the regressive party and be done with it. They are just not built for the modern world. Look how scared they are all the time, always trying to scurry back to some decade they have a fantasy they would do well in.

This was the moment we announced that the pressure to #ProtectMedicaid is working and that the House didn’t have the votes for the budget resolution—to a room full of caregivers, care workers and disabled folks of all ages 🥹❤️ When we fight, WE WIN!

Next week they are voting on stripping the right to vote from 70mill women. They all voted no on an amendment that would have stopped this. If you are married and your name does not match your birth certificate/ you don't have a passport. You will not be able to vote anymore. This is intentional.

I hate to say this but as we go forward we need to be careful. They have been doing all the things they accused us of doing. They were obsessed with the vax being "messed" with. Im getting everything i can now. But for future shots i will try to go to canada or something. Costco has walk in vax fyi.

On the tariff front, this doesn’t get discussed much in the news. But the President has zero power to do tariffs. Entirely a Congress power. There is a law which allows the President to impose tariffs on an emergency basis. All of this is based on that law.

If you encounter false, or misleeding reporting. Or propaganda in your news or papers post it with a number si we can call and push back against all this censorship/omission that im seeing right now.

The tesla stuff is great, but it has become a distraction. We need to put some effort into getting the media to cover the censorship on social media, the econ boycotts, and protests. With the exception of r maddow. They are avoiding these topics. Our red friends need to know this stuff.

Lets be honest. Pete Hegseth is a drunk, a bafoon, and a rasict with impulse control and anger issues. But worst of all, he is all of these things. because he is weak. He's the sick elk that gets culled by wolves, not a wolf.

The right, is confusing children for other things again. if you replace all the times they say tesla, with child, it all sounds very sane. Quick question if i name my kid tesla. will the people who shoot at him in school get the Pam Bondi special? Or does it only work if he belongs to a billionaire?

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

Ah I copied this quote over from a website that cannot spell. It’s Ilya Prigogine, *Nobel prize. And I pulled it from a talk @wang.social did at #ATmosphere conf.

Do these corps and bills really think they are going to make $ off this coup? How all the things they want to "privatize" are unprofitable services. Socially opressive regimes always lead to pitiful domestic markets, and the whole world is already boycotting US goods. Do they wan't Russias economy?
