I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show
Last month, I said Americans are now involuntary employees of Elon Musk: Our labor will be converted into federal subsidies for his businesses.
Now Chicagoans’ tax dollars (including mine 🙋🏼♀️) are being used to protect Musk’s capital instead of the people of the city.

At a time when many social-media sites have abandoned their safeguards against mis- and disinformation, Wikipedia is a bastion of transparency and accessible knowledge. So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has been attacking it.
Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia

The effort, called the Third Term Project, is being led by Shane Trejo. He once co-hosted a neo-Nazi adjacent podcast called “Blood Soil and Liberty.”

How the fuck are you supposed to find a missing trans kid without using the name they would be using for themselves?
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
