The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Legacy media is sleepwalking us into fascism.

A tweet from Carole Cadwalladr warns of an alleged illegal power grab in the U.S., calling it a "digital coup" led by Elon Musk. Below the tweet is a screenshot of The New York Times front page with headlines about Musk's team gaining access to Treasury payment systems. Large red text over the image reads, "IT'S A COUP."

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.

Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

Marisa Kabas broke the biggest story of Trump’s second term last night, beating NYT and WaPo to the scoop. If you’re wondering whether independent media has what it takes to hold Trump to account, the answer is yes.
