Why does Southwest Mitsubishi still have a new 2023 Outlander PHEV for sale at $41K? And 16 2024 Mirages at ~$19K? The optics are bad, and the dealers aren't helping. I love Mitsu, but how do they last until 2026? I can't see how.

MEMPHIS — @GovBillLee claims their occupying force arrested 850 “VIOLENT CRIMINALS” Buuuut mayor @LeeHarrisfor901 says the highest category is “IMMIGRATION/ADMINISTRATIVE”🤔 🚨 One Lee is lying!🚨(HINT: IT’S BILL. We saw the numbers.) And yes, they are racially profiling👇🏽

Plastic maniac Kristi Noem is a literal fascist, an animal abuser, a science denier, a white supremacist and an egomaniacal psycho who needs to stay the hell off airport television screens. I will NEVER forgive Republican voters who wrought this daily onslaught upon us.

THANK YOU to the veterans who protected and respected gay servicemembers during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which was only repealed in 2011 and remains under threat today. So heartened and grateful that my friends who served under DADT were solid allies to gay people in their ranks. Netflix Boots

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Binging "Boots" on Netflix, dredging up memories of more than one closeted firefighter for whom I was not manly enough. Everyone will get something different out of this accessible series — a reminder of how unsafe the world was for LGBT+ people not all that long ago.

Hey, ex-best-friend: thanks a lot for voting to make Spanish-speakers pariahs in the public sphere. You said Trump wouldn't make Hispanic people unsafe, but of course you were blind to reality because you've never personally been brown. Anyway sorry your kid's gonna grow up in fascism

"Mental health" conversations are largely just platitudes and almost always titrate clinical-grade hypocrisy. "Support the troops" but vote against the most vulnerable servicemembers. "Reach out" but close the door when someone does. Pretend mental health is important but bully everyone. Tiring.

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

I’ve gotten some negative feedback about the language I used about Columbia. Although I accept people choosing their own tone, I decline to accept tone critiques from people who wish to follow decorum obediently into a ditch. Columbia’s leadership is contemptible Vichy scum.

Nissan just moved Navara/NP pickup truck production for Latam markets from Argentina to Civac — a plant now slated to close. Trucks are vital to Nissan in Mexico — so what is Nissan's plan? The echo: much less choice for buyers in both Mexico and the US, especially in low-cost autos.

It's disappointing that Chrysler has allowed themselves to be the emblem of America's newly regressive policies, eschewing the global green shift in favor of 20-year-old V8 engines. The world will leave us behind, and really, no one will be left to buy their dinosaur cars.

Hilarious, the myopic analysis of the current auto market and CPI trends, placing the looming shortages out of frame and claiming buyers haven't been as impacted by tariffs as predicted. Supplies can't last forever, guys. And then what?

I began microblogging on Utterli, a platform that allowed photos and even video before Twitter allowed any uploads at all. Twitter was special in its nascent days. How could anyone still be there? Anyone still on Twitter is a Trump, Elon or right-wing sycophant, full-stop. It's a Nazi website.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
