If you're still using twitter, you implicitly support this there's no equivocating here, its owner is deeply involved in the site's day-to-day, decides the algorithm, uses it to push his ventures, and is extremely open it's not hidden behind layers of LLCs or confusing funding, it's in your face

My latest on the monumental reconciliation bill gliding through a Congress that seems to have abandoned independent judgment. It will both remake the country and profoundly change the way Congress functions for the indefinite future. balkin.blogspot.com/2025/06/a-bi...

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

After almost 8 years of people going 50-100% over the speed limit to catch the light at the end of our street, which is used as a cut through, the county installed a speed bump this morning (quite gentle one tbh) and I’m loving every minute of it An elementary school is behind those trees

this stuff is nuts because if a dem rep in a red state said "we're canceling all laws related to car dealership kickbacks" or whatever, they'd be crucified, but GOP reps don't even pretend to fight for their constituents or state or local economy if it doesn't toe the party line, and nobody cares
