"nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will & they'll lie and distort no matter what."

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I just had a sinking feeling. What if all this trump/musk blowup is a musk attempt to get back into favor with the liberals?

What in the cretin-level shit is this post?!? Some people want to enlighten and understand. Some people want to contort the world and others to continually fit their own weak and sad narrative. Don't pick the wrong team, Dick.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is spot-on here as to the true goal of these tariffs. Apple is just one example of how it works. They didn't suck up enough. If they do, they can (maybe!) get tariff relief. But at what price to their brand? They could easily go the way of Tesla.

It's heartbreaking and disgusting watching all the government destruction happening now, but Booker is raising awareness and the bar for pushing back against them.

The cuts to health and human services...canceling programs that provide Alzheimer's research and support families that are actively caring for their loved ones with Alzheimer's.

He did it! 24+ hours! And he's still talking about the threat to America from tRump and FElon and the spineless republicans that are passively standing by and giving up the powers of Congress while abdicating their duty to their constituents.

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

The law should be protecting individuals with disabilities.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.

Why Texans actually pay more in taxes than Californians do The Lone Star State is touted as "low-tax" because it has no income tax. But recently resurfaced data shows that may only apply if you're a wealthy resident.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Both are true
