Hey, my tariffs aren't working, what can I do?

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

In a time of autocracy & tariffs, look for the opportunities. Stay local. Form Neighborhood Associations. Revive Main St. Antique Shops. Used furniture & book shops. Art & craft galleries. Organic Farm Markets. Concerts. Build a community from the bottom up. Use #CreativeDefiance

People are lining up for hours at Kharkiv blood center to donate for Sumy, because it’s the closest option. How can anyone think we’d give up even an inch to Russia? Photo: Anna Gin

Alongside France, I stand with Ukraine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A really superb episode of @maddow.msnbc.com tonight. Don’t miss it.

Isn’t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has SURPASSED Joe Rogan and every other platform in the U.S. in the month of October in digital video ratings, tying Disney Junior for #1 spot—per Ad Week and analysis by Tubular Labs.

Retired teacher Antonio La Cava travels to the villages of Basilicata in his lovely little bookmobile to promote reading. Truly Amazing. #books #booklovers #bookworm

City Hall station, New York. This Art Nouveau metro station was closed on December 31, 1945 It gets regular maintenance to guard against things like water damage & vandalism but it's unused because the new subway trains are too long for the platform Once or twice a year, railfan groups give tours.

Isn’t it funny how the U.S. media is suddenly posting stories about the improving inflation picture now that the election is over? 🧐

Leon wants to cut government spending now

If you’re looking for me here I am. I’ll follow back 🦋 I lost 10000 out of 30000 I know you’re somewhere. Stronger together

The corporatization of veterinary services is an issue that affects 66% of Americans yet has received little media attention. #Kudos to Senator @elizabethwarren.bsky.social for her work on this. greatergood.com/blogs/news/p...

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

The Russian ruble in freefall — having breached the 100 barrier despite a 20% interest rate — is a beautiful sight to see.

Love having Blue Sky replacing X as the marketplace of ideas, an agora for planet earth.

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site. Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc). cc @jay.bsky.team

The surprising idea from two conservative Democrats that could fix the House: Expanding the size of the House would make Congress more responsive to voters.

Hear, hear.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kudos to @newsweek.bsky.social @Newsweek for being the only mainstream media to report the Russian cable sabotage in the Baltic Sea using a Chinese ship. www.newsweek.com/baltic-cable...

Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.

Missing watching the news? I highly recommend watching BBC News. They actually cover world news which US TV news does not. Professional news coverage instead of wannabe celebrities giving you their opinion.
