🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

The Trump White House will sabotage mail-in voting, blocking before and disputing after, disenfranchising Americans however they can. The Roberts Court will make up some BS to allow it. It’s wrong, it isn’t fair, it shouldn’t be. But it is. And it’s beatable. Big numbers in person and they lose.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Isn’t it weird how Trump isn’t doing rallies or seen playing golf at his resorts each weekend anymore? Can he not stand and talk to his supporters anymore? Can he not walk and swing a golf club anymore? Is he a feeble old man who is too physically and mentally delayed to be a real man anymore?

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

I believe we could dramatically reduce dis/misinformation if we collectively agreed to ignore any news article with a headline or lede following the general template of "[name of individual or organization] says" "Elon Musk says ..." "Experts say ..." "Trump official says ..." "Critics argue ..."

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

Anyone in your life or in general who supports Donald Trump after the Epstein List coverup is unredeemable. There is nothing they won’t forgive or forget. They are cult members and will kill themselves, you, me and everyone in-between before they accept the truth about him and themselves.

I’ve defended this franchise for YEARS. I tear up every time Brian & Dom meet at the end of the 7th film & drive in different paths. It was a beautiful ending for Brian’s character, & a farewell Paul Walker deserved. I cannot get behind this & I will refuse to watch this film if this happens. 🤬👎🏼

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

On the one hand, Dem leadership is at least sticking to their principles instead of being dragged along like Republicans leaders when MAGA formed which is kind of more admirable, but at the same time, Dem leaders have been coasting to the center right for 30+ years & long ago gave up FDR’s ideals.
