Elon. Bezos. Gates. Ellison. Thiel. Andreesen. Altman. Tim Cook. The list goes on. The tech bro robber barons are in many respects shittier and in most respects more influential than their 19th-century predecessors.

Good point. Does this help? “The Rich are protected by the law, but not bound by it. The poor are bound by the law but not protected by it." - Professor Scott Galloway, NYU #law #quote

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Gun violence is gun violence, no matter who pulls the trigger.

To every Republican coward who is watching this and saying nothing, know this — silence is complicity. And when history looks back on this moment, your names will be included on the list of how it was allowed to happen.

He never brandished his gun that I can see. I believe they tackled him because he had the temerity to try to help the woman they had just pushed down (by the way, several heavily armed dudes pushing down a woman - what rman would stand for that?) only then did they see the holstered gun.

So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero. But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die? No one is buying this BS.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

If enforcement were about numbers, the focus would be CA, TX, FL, NY, NJ, or IL. So why Minnesota and Maine? The targeting of Somali communities deserves scrutiny. Stephen Miller is scum.

People can say what they want. The quality of my interactions is much higher on BlueSky than on X. And I typically don't go to bed feeling angered or sickened by the people I've interacted with that day.

Stop. We're not rioting here in Los Angeles. Trump isn't removing criminals. He's scooping up our friends and neighbors and denying them due process. We're protecting them with our bodies and making it difficult for ICE to commit these crimes. There is a difference.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Actually … www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Keep America free!

The Trump Admin. just made machine guns legal again by permitting the sale of devices that turn AR-15s into fully automatic weapons. Forced-reset triggers increase a weapon’s rate of fire to mimic fully automatic guns—allowing a shooter to fire an entire magazine’s worth of ammunition in seconds.

Enough is enough.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

This is going to make #elonmusk cry… again.

Christopher Rufo is a lunatic and basically blames all things on higher education institutions. He is on a rampage to constrain and destroy our colleges in the US. Scary times.

President Trump has frozen billions of dollars in federal funds in an attempt to rid higher education of what he calls its woke ideology. Our reporter spoke to the president of Princeton University, Christopher L. Eisgruber, who has vowed to fight. Listen to "The Daily."

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

"Boys will be boys." That's what it boils down to, isn't it? Clearly these boys are too emotional to handle the job. It's high time for women to take the helm: we're great at cleaning up messes, we're better educated, we're resilient AF, and we know how to lead with both compassion and strength.

One thing you can do today to help stop Elon Musk? Write to @octopus.energy and get them to stop leasing Teslas: templates and CEO email address here: www.teslatakedown.co.uk/about-5

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

Good luck boys — you bought him, he broke you. Except Buffett who knew

Fingers crossed Elon will back a rival pod here.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F’ off!”

Sending this to @teslatakedown.com @teslatakedown.co.uk #TeslaTakedown, though our UK compatriots may or may not get the Wisconsin cheese reference. bsky.app/profile/a35m...

Only cheese heads wear cheese hats.

Thank you to the voters of Wisconsin. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. American democracy is not dead. Far fucking from it.

Hahahaha! Elon lost in WI! So proud of my midwestern neighbors! What a piece of shit Elon is! Best thing ever!!!!!!

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

The progressive judge just won in Wisconsin, shaping the destiny of humanity. 🏆

Elon Musk Appears to Be Breaking Wisconsin Law Against Vote Buying in Offering a Chance to Win $1 Million to Anyone Who Voted in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race electionlawblog.org?p=149196

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

Maybe, just maybe, the Trump administration should spend less time trying to force itself on Greenland and more time making sure they don’t day-drunk text war plans in group chats.

People damaging cars are ‘sick terrorist thugs’ per Trump. People trying to kill his vice president and destroying Capitol Hill are patriots deserving of pardons, also per Trump.

Pathetic man-child works for me, though I tend to use whiny adult toddler. Read this about @thevivllainous.bsky.social who is genuinely funny online (and, as you will see, off).

JUST IN: Thousands of probationary federal employees fired by the Trump administration must be offered job reinstatement within the next week, a district judge in San Francisco has ruled, because they were terminated unlawfully.

Critical messaging for Dems if they're being forced into a shutdown. Undo the cuts to Social Security, VA health care, cancer care research. Put the DOGE boys into a boxes w chaperones if the Republican want help. NEED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR about what's at stake immediately in peoples lives.

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

Moulton: "Trump thinks if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that's not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is? The bottom line with Trump is freedoms and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that's it."

Being an asshole has consequences.

Let's cut the crap: If Ukraine falls, American safety is at risk. If Elon thinks standing with Ukraine makes me a traitor, then he knows nothing about keeping America safe.
