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

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.

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.

Yes, the French just showed us that strategically resigning to consolidate anti-far right coalitions is a winning strategy. There's a winning anti-Trump majority in US, too, but it requires a candidate other than the one who 75-80% feel is too old to do job. bsky.app/profile/tani...
FRANCE UPDATE: The near-final list of candidates who are in the French runoffs is out.
Two days ago, 311 districts were going to have 3-way or 4-way runoffs.
Then, 200+ candidates dropped out to block far-right.
So: There'll be "just" 91 such runoffs this coming Sunday.
