Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

May all beings be free, safe and protected, and know peace and joy! We need to wake up and rise up for the wellbeing of all living beings and act from the wisdom of inter-being to dislodge the fascist capture of the US government.

Republican farmer who voted for Trump twice: “I’ve hurt more under Trump than I have any other president… Trump promised to help the farmers. Instead fuel and beef prices are crushing us and he’s cutting our throat.”
Q: If it wasn't you, then who gave the order for Starlink to go down in Ukraine? TRUMP: I don't know
After months of being outspent by Democrat James Talarico on the airwaves, Republicans dropped over $200 million to boost Ken Paxton. Most of it was funded by one highly motivated donor: Elon Musk.

Now that the scale of Trump's betrayal is becoming clear even in places like Mahoning County, it's kind of perfect that Trump now hates Bruce Springsteen (who famously sang about Youngstown) for telling the truth about how badly he screwed working people. I get into this irony a bit here:
Mahoning is where Trump famously told people not to sell their houses, because he'd bring manufacturing back. Then the Lordstown plant closed. It's the place Bruce Springsteen sang about. If Dems can flip it, then it should be a touchstone for Trumpism's demise. newrepublic.com/article/2167...

It’s also very “Marie Antoinette-let them eat cake” in this economy to unveil something so obviously not for the masses that are struggling with affordability of anything, much less a car.
Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
There is a really important discussion that is never had about how Musk regularly shifts resources between entities that we are told are wholly separate (and yes he's brought a bunch together but still).

We need to do an experiment where we take the words of Andreessen, Thiel, Yarvin, and Vance...but attribute them to Hasan Piker. There would be a media frenzy...until they realized who had actually said those things.

Interesting but sane-washed piece on Marc Andreessen. You can't leave out his friendship with Yarvin and the fact that his manifesto cited fascists as saints. The Andreessen story is about radicalization, not deregulation. gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
