A+ protest sign at the Tesla Takedown event in Duluth, Georgia!

Love it!

I've decided that Dateline is my entire personality now.

Protesters are gathered at the Tesla Takedown protest in Chicago.

“Hey hey, ho ho, Elon Musk has got to go!”

Love to see it!

Another sad group of pro-Elon Musk counter-protestors at the Tesla Takedown protest on Long Island in New York.

Not beating those “cult” accusations with an inflatable Donald Trump.

Incredible to watch Trump officials expose their glaring lack of one single longstanding principle.

It will never be the “Gulf of America.”

However, it is definitely a distraction from all the crappy things they’re doing at the moment.

Trump went from planning to "end" the HIV epidemic by 2030 to increasing the number of HIV infections more than 6 times by 2029

⚡️ UPDATE: judge blocks order to slash NIH funding — in 22 Blue states that sued.

This hurts Tennessee badly. Will @agtennessee Skrmetti sue Trump to make sure ground-breaking medical research continues here?

Opinion | Trump's new deportation quotas are going to hurt a lot of people Donald Trump is reportedly angry that deportation numbers aren't higher, increasing pressure on ICE to make more indiscriminate arrests.

“The rising pressure to get deportation numbers up will likely yield increasingly sloppy and inhumane measures as the dragnet is thrown ever wider.”

@hayesbrown.bsky.social writes how Trump is creating new criminals for ICE to report.

Trump maintains funding freeze at NIH, defying court order The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information.

BREAKING

The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders.

The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.

This is where we are now.

Judge Ducks Jury Duty By Explaining That “Everybody” Who Comes Before Him Is “Guilty” There are things you should not say if you are a judge. This is one of them.

I wrote about a New York judge who tried to get out of jury duty and accidentally got out of his job

Turns out saying you're not impartial and think everybody who appears before you is guilty is *checks notes* bad, and *puts finger to earpiece* not good

Picture of Richard T. Snyder

A judge in New York has resigned after he got out of jury duty by saying he thought everyone brought before a court is guilty. Richard T. Snyder was a justice of the Petersburgh Town Court for a decade. He's been charged with misconduct by a state judicial commission.

The “no affirmative action” and “no racial preferences” policy from Trump lasted about a week. White South Africans now specifically favored:

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed Freedom of Information Act requests with "more than 40 federal agencies seeking urgent transparency about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s secretive efforts to access and analyze Americans’ sensitive personal information."

If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

Inside Musk’s Aggressive Incursion Into the Federal Government (Gift Article) The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

Our deep dive into Musk's takeover: Even some officials who like what Musk is doing feel helpless to hold him accountable. His allies are diving in to agencies, gaining access to systems, planning layoffs, and proposing a sweeping AI initiative to review contracts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...
