This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

#TeslaTakedown@teslatakedown.com · 12h ago

In the last 24 hours, Elon added $5,423,645.66. New totals include: $13,131,789.48 vs @jamestalarico.bsky.social $6,308,848.86 vs @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social $5,117,111.82 vs @abdulelsayed.bsky.social $1,991,872.98 vs @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social $1,176,301.42 vs @troyjackson207.bsky.social

Barely any media reporting on this. Instead it's one big tech weirdo after another talking about how their god machines want to kill us all so they need all of earth's resources immediately

Haha, this fucking sucks.

I have stopped whole ass conversations to tell people not to use "gypped" as a verb because it's a racial slur. You can keep the conversation moving after that. It's extremely easy to just not use a racial slur.

i'm really tired of seeing people insist it's UNFAIR!!! to expect our betters to exhibit a scrap of spine or an atom of principle. like no offense but every single teacher in the greater twin cities metro area is braver than yall think the liberal scotus justices should be, or should be asked to be

this is, in fact, how interest groups work

Some national LGBTQ+ groups are turning their backs on Democrats who have adopted anti-transgender rhetoric in their campaigns this election cycle. “I’m not wasting my time on Marcy Kaptur,” said Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson. www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/lg...

I can't ever commit to being anti-carceral because everyone, and I mean everyone down to office clerks, who had anything to do with this should be put in work camps.

The Trump administration’s actions resulted in the destruction of the largest ancient Cottonwood tree on Indigenous territory in Arizona. This tree, known as the “Grandmother Tree,” was 250 years old.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

It's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.

32 states permit child marriage. More states allow child marriage and minors to drink alcohol than those that allow access to hormones prescribed by their doctor with the support of their parents. None of it is logical and it's entirely based on moral panic.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

“… and another thing about penised lesbians…”

“we can fantasize about raping people on livestream but if anyone thinks anything bad should happen to us as a result we will try to get them fired” sums up the state of right wing “intellectualism” pretty well

watch this and the billionaire tax it is designed to negate pass at the same time what a stupid people we are

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

They’re allowed to “talk rape” on a podcast, but fantasizing about hurting them is a line too far Generally the biggest pussies ever

lmao

This is word for word, the exact same demands Paxton made of gender affirming care providers and utilizing the same perverted interpretation of consumer protection laws. People will always let their bigotry rule over their own self-preservation.

they CALLED THE COPS on a political party peacefully passing a resolution

Underrated by many who beg for a "Sistah Souljah" moment that criticizing shitty institutions will get you farther than criticizing random lefty posters.

Waschesalon Grammy Campaign Manager@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 3d ago

picking fights with people and institutions the public hates is broadly popular!

I think the way a lot of people are reacting will be interpreted as "rockstar shouldn't be allowed to do this" when the issue is actually "everyone should be allowed to do this"

it's interesting to me how u.s.-focused auto reporting tends to read like the ev boom is over while it very much seems ongoing everywhere else

biden and lula both entered office without majorities sufficient to actually pass any real agenda; this is the root reason why both failed (well, lula might pull it out, but it'll clearly be phyrric). this should be motivation to lock in for midterms so the next dem president can actually govern

anyway if the NPC can't kill Akron DSA's idiotic endorsement of PSL's Greg Levy in Ohio-Sen they shouldn't be fucking with something 1500 members voted for

sort of feels like every election everywhere in the world is divided equally between a faction of normal people a faction of open evil fascists and gets decided by 5% of the voters who are kicked in the head and completely lose their memory of anything that's happened every two weeks

George Pearkes@peark.es · 3d ago

First results in the first round of the Brazilian Presidential election are in. Lula trailing but looks like the south is reporting faster which skews towards Bolsonaro. That said, prediction markets think this looks good for Bolsonaro (that has signal, unlike prior to vote counting).

*screaming off the top of my lungs* SOCIALISM IS AN EXTENSION OF LIBERALISM. WITHOUT LIBERALISM SOCIALISM WILL DEGENERATE INTO HORRIFIC AUTOCRACY

Wandering Hoo@wanderlib.bsky.social · 3d ago

Not having a liberal/socialist split makes the (US) American Left vastly more sane than most of its international counterparts

You would hope other countries would learn from the American experience & try to avoid our decision, but American voters don't learn from other countries & it's not reasonable to expect them to learn from us

My ideological bias is that all humans deserve dignity and we shouldn’t destroy the planet, while republicans think being dark-skinned makes you inferior. I think I like my bias.

Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 3d ago

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

Admittedly this is why I don’t believe in a two state solution; it’s root on the sin of ethnic nationalism imo, only sustainable path to liberation is a multiethnic democracy I just can’t stand nationalists; it always resulted in the little guy being beat down

american "worse things aren't possible" mindset strikes again

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 3d ago

Every single one of these stories is like this and it pisses me off to no end

I don’t think you need to have a sociology degree to figure out how allowing the usage of these in schools creates the exact conditions of impunity that leads to a Cornell frat situation

the most predictable consequences ever: Strikingly, every single one of the many smart glasses videos we found were captured by teen boys — and their bad behavior was overwhelmingly directed at girls.

Rufo pioneered the tactic of calling any discussions of race Critical Race Theory, and used it to get people fired. He pioneered the strategy of labeling teachers as "groomers" if they talked about gender identity donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-qanoni...
