Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 5/2/25, 8:05 am

– Ann Davison inventing community court after ending it is pretty wild.

– Seattle, what a hellhole.

– When you’re cutting HIV funds, maybe you found something other than waste.

– The session is over, but you can still contact your legislator. Or Representative.

    The Trump regime’s top social priority is restoring 1950s racism.

    “The new alternative will include a “warm hand-off” from the court to the city’s Community Resource Center, where they will be able to access resources directly. After that, if they don’t violate the law for 60 days, their charges will be dismissed.”

    Poor ol’ wypipo. They just love them some CRACKDOWN! and some GET TOUGH!.
    Until it comes time to pay for it.

    Chasing after people, arresting them for stupid bullshit, building a case, filing charges, providing them with an attorney, prosecuting them, and then finally putting them in jail and housing them for a few months all turns out to be really, really expensive shit.

    But we must not consider the cheaper and more effective alternatives.

    Because wypipo.

    “We’re still gathering all the facts, but it appears that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was just struck with a syringe fired by a lone doctor while he was driving through Dallas in his motorcade,” said reporter Roger Marston. “Hold on, I’m just now getting word—oh my God. Ladies and gentleman, it’s my unfortunate duty to report that RFK Jr. has been tragically vaccinated. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Cheryl Hines, who will no doubt spend the next few months spoon feeding him ivermectin, injecting him in the ass with adrenochrome, and finding countless potatoes in all his socks as he tries to reverse this vicious medical miracle.”

    7,
    Also noteworthy in this ongoing lawsuit to force Tesla to pay its long overdue bills is the exposure of the undeniable evdience that the Gigafactory is not net zero by any conventional meaning of the term. That they’ve been importing fossil fuel into the facitility for many years. And that the company has been caught once again bamboozling their idiot fanboys with fakery, deception, and misdirection.

    Also noteworthy in this ongoing…

    effort by QoS McHillbilly to make Tesla the next Solyndra is the reality that in the 10 days since he fangirled Tesla Takedown, TSLA shares have climbed from $238 to $288.

    Look at p6 through p 11 of Exhibit A-1. Look at all of the identical purchase orders. They cover dates between 12/23 and 7/24.

    I wouldn’t pay dozens of invoices over seven months that reference the same purchase order number, either.

    Nice of The Independent to contact Tesla for comment 15 minutes before publishing the story, wasn’t it.

    @13 Yeah, the S&P going up 10 trading days in a row doesn’t happen often. To make it happen, you bash the market world-ending hard, and then it crawls back a little more every day as investors watch to see if you’re going to bash it again. The reason the kind of plunge we’ve just experienced, followed by a wary recovery, happens so rarely is because other presidents don’t fuck with the market like Trump is doing. And Doctor Dumbfuck thinks this is something to brag about? Good grief!! 🤡🤡🤡

    In today’s political news:

    Trump is begging SCOTUS to give Elon access to Doctor Dumbfuck’s personal Social Security information. Yours and mine, too. This is what I would normally call a frivolous lawsuit, but we don’t have a normal Supreme Court anymore.

    While the NAACP has objections, I don’t begrudge the $250K this Minnesota woman raised through a Xtian website after calling a 5-year-old autistic black boy a “n—” and then appealing for funds to relocated to someplace more hospitable to people like her.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of that money came from neighbors anxious to see her leave.

    Here is the judge’s eat-shit order to Trump, Bondi, Vought, et al., in the Perkins Coie case. Highlights:

    Summary judgment in favor of Perkins Coie.
    Trump’s executive order declared null and void in entirety.
    Court retains jurisdiction to hold defendants in contempt for any noncompliance.

    House Republicans Advance Plan to Cut Federal Employee Pensions
    Republicans justified the cuts by citing a 2024 Congressional Budget Office study that compared federal and private sector employees benefits from 2022, finding that federal employees received 43% more in benefits than private sector employees. Republicans do not mention that federal employees have 10% lower wages than private sector employees, which was also outlined in the report.

    Voting for Republicans cut your pension.

    Canada is rapidly reshaping its aviation ties with the US as declining travel demand, rising diplomatic tensions, and shifting consumer preferences drive major airlines—Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, and Flair—to slash routes to key U.S. cities including San Francisco, Miami, New York, and Washington. With a significant drop in both leisure and business travel from Canada to the U.S., carriers are now reallocating capacity toward Europe, where demand remains strong and political conditions are more favorable.

    In recent months, both business and leisure travel from Canada to the United States have seen a dramatic downturn. Travel from the northern border fell by 12.5% in February and a further 18% in March. Canadian business travel to the United States plummeted by 40% in the early months of 2025.

    Voting for Republicans is savaging the American tourism industry.
