“Donald Trump has manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions.” - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Trump Playbook 1. Intentionally create a crisis 2. Blame Dems, Biden & Obama 3. Abuses his power to claim VICTORY This *strategy* wastes tax-payers money & inflicts emotional terrorism on us all.

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

@jasonbuck.bsky.social I think this will interest you. x.com/jam_croissan...

there are a lot of great american bands, but i can promise you that we're going to be much poorer for the era of *only* being able to go see american bands in this country

TACO don

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Who will stand up for our Democracy? Do we even deserve it if we arent willing to lift a finger to protect it?

“Trump replied,”stopping the war,” suggesting that not “taking the whole country” is a “pretty big concession.” Putin hasn’t taken #Ukraine because he can’t. Because of Ukrainian courage & resilience. To suggest this is a Russian concession is ludicrous & morally corrupt. www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

The ones who support dictatorship abroad support dictatorship here. The ones who lie for Putin lie for Trump.

Trump’s regime is once again blaming Ukraine. Trump promised to end the war within 24 hours but failed, as Putin simply refused. Perhaps you shouldn't have caved to Putin so early in the negotiations. Weak and incompetent, surrounded by loyalists who only praise an unfit leader

Ukraine didn’t choose to be invaded. In contrast, Trump initiated a tariff war, only to later backtrack after damaging global trust in the U.S and savings of regular Americans. And why pick a fight with the Houthis if you're too incompetent to win it in the first place?

What could possibly go wrong? #corruption

Another troubling sign of the timidity of people, organizations, and whole fields who seem unwilling/unable stand up for those attacked by this regime. Chris Krebs was celebrated for, as a member of the first Trump administration, standing up and calling out his election lies.

Trump driving our allies to make common cause with our adversaries. Is this what you call winning?

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

I laugh at his pain because I have empathy for other people.

Sen. Murkowski: “We all want this war to end, but it cannot end on Russia’s terms…Why are we going to start trusting Putin’s word now?… The appeasement of tyrants does not bring peace. Russia started this conflict, and it’s critical for us to stand with Ukraine to end it.”

I wrote on the Signal leak. The White House, DNI, DCIA, DOD & NSA all deny that the group chat included classified information. DNI said that under oath to Congress. On the basis of the evidence available so far, I struggle to see how that could be true. www.economist.com/united-state...

#Ukraine: Today's latest info on #UkraineWar: 1. The #Kavkazskaya oil transhipment hub is still smouldering into its 4th day. A massive fire seems to have broken out in RU enclave Transnistria on the border with UA, cause unknown. bsky.app/profile/maks... bsky.app/profile/jjsm...

I mean I really just want to point out the thing where live-in-space rich guys who have never paid taxes are stealing government data to deport people who actually pay taxes. That’s it, that’s the only point.

An update on the war following a recent trip. The situation has improved compared with Fall 2024. Russian offensive momentum slowed significantly over the winter, though it is premature to claim that the front has stabilized, especially following AFU withdrawal in Kursk. /1
