Do you think it's too early to say we live in an Illiberal Democracy?

I do however think I'd trade the power for better range...

I have this Volvo and it is a blast, but heavy cars that can go fast have the potential to be very dangerous. But when I'm in town, I use one pedal drive which means that in a neighborhood, if I kid runs into the street, my car begins to stop before I break. I wonder if that improves safety?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social at #TAF25l: Donald Trump’s use of the military as his “personal militia” is “everything George Washington feared about what the U.S. military could become.”

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

Just what the red hat needed...more letters!

Ah yes, carrot cake is the real scourge of the American diet.

The “Third Country Removal Case” means thousands of people will be deported to extremely dangerous countries they’re not from with no due process.

Who do you think the one retruth and like was? JD Vance?

"We will obey the courts" Obviously they were exaggerating on that one too.

Done, happy birthday!

This really does get to the root of the problem.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

Craft time!

Silverman: University of Colorado has a long, proud history of confronting white supremacists New CU President Todd Saliman follows in the footsteps of George Norlin, CU’s most beloved and admired president who confronted white supremacy every time.

It's so disheartening to read of these great universities backing down. There was a time when that was not the case coloradosun.com/2022/05/23/s...

Norlin was told by the KKK governor to fire any Catholic or Jewish faculty members or operate with state funding. He choose the latter.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

Day Five of the Trump-Musk Treasury Payments Crisis of 2025: Not “Read Only” access anymore If you are a current or former career Bureau of the Fiscal Service Employee, especially if you’re a legacy IT programmer with years of experience and especially if you are a COBOL programmer currently...

EMERGENCY PIECE: Previous reports that Musk's DOGE programmers only have "read only" access is inaccurate. I can confirm what @wired.com first reported at 1 AM today that they have Read & WRITE access with a source in BFS referring to this as "apocalyptic"

See lots of people do that when they're excited. It's like German jazz hands. Totally. Normal.

Imagine your company just hired a new CEO, and in the search to find a CTO, the CEO said "Yeah, we could promote the director of engineering, but there's this L1 engineer from the front end team I've had my eye on because he's such a snappy dresser"

Well two of these guys are accounted for, but what to do with the other six?
