This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

Since MSM is asleep at the wheel 😡, it is incumbent upon we who are more plugged into to what’s happening to assist the campaign and make friends and family aware of what will ensue if TFG gets elected and implements .

A good starting point is sharing this Media Matters Project 2025 guide, which offers a good overview:

This is worthy of your time to listen to at lunch today. If you are in your office, you might even want to have a few pals join you.

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.

One of the worst of mainstream media's fatal failures is the refusal to connect nefarious Republican activities with the way fascism has risen before here and elsewhere.

Past is prologue.

@TonyStark Worth a listen!
One of the best speeches that I've heard. "There is only us. There is no them. And when someone suggests to you - whomever it may be in your life - that there's a 'them,' run away. 'Othering' is the simplistic, binary way to make and identify enemies. But it is also the surest way to your own self imprisonment."

Such powerful words.

@Tengrain Thanks for saying that. I agree. I try not to post too many videos but this one’s important.

@Tengrain I also questioned the veracity of this story when I saw it for the first time, even mentioned my skepticism in a post.
Major news sources have confirmed it.
This woman represented US at the United Nations! All I have for her now is anger and disgust.

Everyone is missing half of this story.

Nikki Haley didn't just visit and write "finish them!" on Israeli bombs. She also toured a settlement in the occupied West Bank (which Israeli extremists call "Samaria"), as a guest of extremist settler leader Yossi Dagan. He wants to build Israeli settlements to .

This is what the movement is fighting for: Not just annihilating all 5 million Palestinians, but taking all of their land, too.

@Tengrain She wanted to come up with something terrible, and she came up with a line from a 1990s video game. The banality of evil on full display.

Stolen from the essential blog Annie Asks You:

You can file a citizen complaint of misconduct against Alito, which has already been prepared by Alden Hackmann, at votetosavedemocracy@gmail.com. Go to Dump.Alito.com. While you’re there, you can also file a complaint against Judge Aileen Cannon.

Hackmann has entered all the info you need; you just have to fill in your identifying info, print out the document, put a stamp on the envelope, and send it off. He also suggests sending a copy to Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, writing “FYI–filed with the Supreme Court” at the top of the page, Hackmann writes, “to provide him with proof that there is a public outcry over Justice Alito’s bias,” and calling Durbin too. He provides Durbin’s phone numbers and address.

Annie has more to say at the post, but I think this call to action is the most important.

I can tell you from when I volunteered at my representative’s district office they pay attention to contacts and this is how they prioritize them:

  1. showing up in person
  2. getting physical mail
  3. getting phone calls
  4. getting email
  5. getting faxes (believe it or not, people still use them)

There is nothing more that a member loves than showing up with a pile of mail, and dramatically proclaiming that (whatever action they are proposing) is popular with the people. Physical mail is the bomb (as the kids used to say).

If you guys have the time, please do this.

Sticking this on top: it’s that important.

Not enough people understand the reactionary mind, especially that of religious fascists. To them, human progress is an illusion, a distraction from their god, or even actively against their god's will. Vaccines interrupt the natural order of sickness, misery and early death.
