I have no idea how much a cyber truck is tbh. I hate them too much to look.

They need to ensure that it breaks. They need to give him bad advice. Helping him complete his work is not selfless dedication to duty, it's capitulation. It ensures that we will never get out of this.

Everything about the young guys at DOGE is reminding me of the time that I, as a middle school/high schooler, was tasked with cleaning up the family computer, deleted a bunch of nonsense looking files, and then the family computer stopped working.

Front page of the nyt

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article) A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark β€œProud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

It is super weird. It happened to me in 2020. And honestly same this year. My career is taking off, I'm graduating, both kids are functional, my husband loves his job. The only downside is he works for the US patent office so we are worried about that but like overall it feels wrong to be happy?

Legacy media is actually making things worse with their reporting of what is happening as separate and distinct actions, rather than a coup d’blitzkrieg designed to overwhelm, depose, and destroy.

They are afraid of putting the fascists’ actions in to context lest they be sued for bias.

They are making a graphic novel and possible live action project around his story. I’m going to find a link from interview I did with the creative team

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Not even half of the pop votes so it's far less than half of people who voted for this.
