In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Maybe this is all a brilliant gambit to stave off climate change by collapsing global production and consumption.

The millionth article trying to suss out Trump's secret strategy about X despite the fact that he's the most transparent man alive. Trump just loves tariffs.

He definitely needs money from Tesla. Its overvalued so much that it adds about $350 billion to his net worth. That's over three times as much as the value of the military equipment the US has contributed to Ukraine in three years of war.

That might be on their mind, but I suspect their more immediate concern is building their extralegal military-run network of concentration camps for migrants.

Have you all heard the clip where Pres. Trump is being asked about what DOGE will cut from the DoD and he keeps pivoting to “we’re going to go into Ft. Knox to make sure the gold is there”? He really sounds like he is not all there.

Protesters gathered in front of a Tesla showroom on Van Ness Ave. Wednesday evening to protest Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.

"America has no king" seems like a good theme to rally around

I think the main problem with this is that a good boycott should target the company -- not the consumers.

Most Tesla owners are left-leaning urbanites who wanted to avoid contributing to climate change. They didn't know Elon Musk would try to establish the Nerd Reich. Why alienate them?

Though I guess maybe there's room for both.

The goal of anti-Tesla activism should be making Tesla's brand toxic, not pissing people off.

Tesla is particularly vulnerable to a boycott and anti-fascists should make every effort to make the brand as toxic as possible www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/02/boyc...

Stop saying "authoritarian," a word that most non-academics do not know, and start saying dictatorship.

Tomorrow is the #TeslaTakeover, and there will be protests nationwide at Tesla dealerships. If you live in the Bay Area or anywhere else with a lot of Teslas on the road, you can get #BoycotT bumper stickers from boycott-tesla.org to pass out to Tesla owners who want to stand up for democracy.

I learned about them in middle school, like most people.

You, ostensibly a human adult, just had to get Grok to explain to you the difference between a plurality and a majority. If AI is the future, I weep for the future. Pick up a book!

Are you asking Grok to do your thinking for you? This is basic American civics!

Pretty sure all AI investments combined are a rounding error in JPMorgan Chase's portfolio.

Particularly shameful because unlike most of the other billionaires, Sam has been an avowed liberal his whole life.

People's sex at conception?

Even better is that it's going to be too cold because of a polar vortex originating in... Greenland. 2025's screenwriters are still demonstrating a fine grasp of poetic irony.

I'm one of the three or four who care. My students learn how to access and analyze CCC data in our intro to research methods class. Thank you for making this amazing public good accessible to all!

Alright everyone, Christmas is over and here's a sign that you should be working on your syllabi.

Don't forget to don your tactical kippah! Deflects the space laser beams.

I recognize that, as a Nicaragua scholar, everything reminds me of Nicaragua. But let me explain why this reminds me of Nicaragua

I don't know about other parts of El Camino Real, but Santa Clara's El Camino Real Specific Plan seems consistent with Calthorpe's concept.

Hillary Clinton actually won by three points. There are several big reasons why the Democrats lost this election and I'm not convinced candidate gender is in the top five.
