A collage of tweets centered around Reid Hoffman, Elon Musk, and protests allegedly targeting Tesla. 1. Tweet by Alexandra Merz (@TeslaBoomerMama): “Reid Hoffman …?

Reid Hoffman, the billionaire, major Democratic Party donor, and co-founder of LinkedIn, responds to Elon Musk.

Musk has relentlessly attacked Hoffman for many months.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Will Trumpian Uncertainty Knock the Economy Into a Recession? There is only so much policy chaos that households, businesses, and financial markets can take.

The Economic Policy Uncertainty index has risen to a level surpassed only during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent spike “certainly increases the probability of a recession,” one of the economists who developed the measure said.

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is.

Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

This was definitely the lede.

3 men claiming to be from DOGE show up at San Francisco City Hall, demand records San Francisco city officials are investigating after three men who claimed to be from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) showed up at City Hall on Friday demanding records from offices bef...

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Daily reminder with these chodes: Every accusation is a confession (and a concession).

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

Silicon Valley has long since stopped being interesting or value creating for the world

The days of revolution by giants among men are gone - the days of grift by incels are upon us

Tragedy is that their greed now has extended beyond monetizing clicks to destroying lives

DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that...

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

"Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order."

Their response to "he's violating the Constitution" is really "but bro is so sick at coding."

US rule of law in shambles. Tech ideology is really that kind of caricature of itself.

Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?
