🤦🏻‍♀️😳 & have discussed a possible advisory role for the Tesla leader should TFG reclaim WH, the latest sign that the once-frosty relationship between the 2 has thawed.

The role hasn’t been fully hammered out and might not happen, but they discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security and the economy, both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

"Texas delegates voted on a 2024 platform at the state’s GOP Convention on Saturday and aim to tally the votes by Wednesday to finalize their platform for the coming year. The proposal called for new legislation to solidify fetal personhood ideology into law, define abortion care as homicide and criminalize in vitro fertilization, first reported by feminist writer Jessica Valenti.”

@Jonathanglick @StillIRise1963 while I absolutely agree there should be I will be that guy and remind folks that there are millions of people suffering in those states that did not vote fascist and did vote for Dems.

I'm in Florida. We have more people who voted Democrat than most states have people.

But there absolutely should be targeted boycotts. Florida fascists destroyed most of the economy that's not tourism. Boycott the tourism maybe one industry at a time. As a suggestion.

@StillIRise1963 It is astonishing to me that there's still no progressive plan to boycott fascist states.

@Jonathanglick @StillIRise1963 frankly, the cruise ship industry is one of the biggest threats to the environment. And it's essential to the economy here.

Boycott that. And absolutely no conferences here.

@StillIRise1963 While DeSantis may not be up for re-election this year, Floridians may want to think about local elections and going for a US senator who will promote federal responses to this and their homeowners insurance crisis instead of attacking immigrants, librarians, and any regulation of the ghoulish health “care” industry that made him filthy rich.

@StillIRise1963 Neither does the governor of Florida. Why elect leaders who will address a real environmental and economic crisis when you could have someone who will just distract you with manufactured culture war outrage instead?

If the governor is committed to keeping (&funding) the National Guard in the subways because she thinks it "makes people feel better," maybe someone could tell her how great funding our libraries would make us feel. More bang for the buck in weekend library hours, if you ask me.

If you read only the NYTimes or WaPo, you'd have only the vaguest notion that the Republican Party is now a toxic admixture of foreign and domestic oligarchs & autocrats, teamed up with evil billionaires, Christo-fascists, racists, criminals, and narcissistic psychopaths.
