Tesla shareholders voted to offer Elon a trillion dollar incentive. But whether he gets it or not is up to us. He's gotta sell millions of cars and robots to bring in that ungodly sum. If you want to block it, join us in the streets

Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but there’s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.

The NY Mayoral isn’t just about who leads New York. It’s about what kind of power defines our future. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is what feminist politics looks like when it’s about redistribution, not rhetoric. 🧵 Why his win could matter for everyone →

This kind of repudiation of the Supreme Court by a state Supreme Court justice is very rare. But — speaking as a former Alaska Supreme Court clerk — this is also part of their structural purpose. There’s a reason our rights can be, and often are, given *better* protection under state constitutions.

This is fun trivia. According to Dr. Anino Emuwa, founder of 100 Women @Davos. Women CEOs make more money than men among the S&P 400 (there are only 40). Not because of salaries but because of bonuses. Their compensation is tied to data driven performance (and doing better).
