His entire wealth is supported by a self-driving fraud that has killed tens of Americans, on top of countless other crimes.
He is the face of the elite impunity that is destroying this country.
His freedom is one of the most important political issues of our time.

School Choice is a euphemism for vouchers.
School vouchers exist because racists wouldn’t accept desegregation.
School vouchers exist because racists wouldn’t accept desegregation.
In 1970, the NYT reported on new private schools blossoming in the south.
These all-white segregation academies were formed expressly in response to racial integration in schools.
Proponents immediately saw that they needed resources. So began efforts to take money from the public school system.

The new material uses a common wood waste product to create a greener future for electronics, removing toxic metals and avoiding complex, polluting manufacturing methods.

Flew to Portland.
“I’d like an EV”
‘Which one?’
“Anything but a Tesla”
‘We get that all the time’
Lists off a half dozen better choices.
Happily visit Portland in a much better EV :).
All that’s left for the NazEV is a rapidly diminish cohort of rubes.
