It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

Alt Nat'l Park Svs says: Engage now! Nationwide and international boycott of all Musk-related products and services. Sell Tesla shares, don't buy Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete X accounts. Int'l folks pls help. Propose tariffs on Musk-affiliated businesses! Join us in taking a stand.

Thank you! This was a secret Santa gift and I love it! So easy and fun.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
