As The Bard might have said, beware of the ones that “doth protest too much”

I see we’re back to the MAGA version of winning this morning. Seems like just yesterday donold was going on about how the US was going to be better, wealthier, healthier, blah blah than ever before. 🤔 Who’s feeling it?

“One if by land, two if by sea” - a timely reminder of why the battles of Lexington and Concord were so important in US history. A year before the Declaration of Independence, New Englanders defied the king and his policy of taxation without representation.

“You can’t manage what you can’t measure” is something I heard early in my career. No metrics also means there’s no objective way to hold management accountable. That’s why fElon47 doesn’t want data. He is a toddler mob boss who tantrums and makes whimsical edicts. apple.news/AgclwZVdyQty...

“It’s not the guns, it’s the people with guns” isn’t really the best argument against gun control laws. Does this moron actually believe more guns will fix the gun violence problem? Surely not. He just loves guns so much that he wants guns to have more rights than a woman has to control her body.

@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social - please review and take all necessary action to protect your constituents whose data may have been sold to foreign agents

If she’s too scared to stand up to the bully who is the standard bearer for her own party, she needs to get out of the way and let her state have a true leader - someone with the courage to do what she and all of Congress swore to do: uphold the Constitution.

Slava Ukraine Tomorrow is Good Friday. Easter is Sunday. For those who celebrate. The people of Ukraine keep getting forgotten in the firehose of terrible events created by fElon47. Because of Putin, Krasnov’s little mentor, they continue to suffer. Regardless of their religion.

Finding the silver lining: Perhaps donold should not pick a fight with the country’s oldest, most prestigious and highly endowed university, which also happens to have the most famous and revered law school in the world. As the knight told Indy in “The Last Crusade”: He chose poorly.

I was a defense litigator for Costco for 2 years. As a matter of principle, they did not pay for nuisance suits to go away. They paid my firm to go to trial and get defense verdicts. They take care of their employees so standing up to bullies 1/2

Living through Idiocracy, on our way to Wall-E. If tariffs are supposed to bring factory jobs and child labor laws allow us to exploit kids as cheap, unskilled labor, while AI and automation are supposed to replace humans, what exactly are the rest of us supposed to do to make a living?

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]

What is “anti-Christian bias”? Not celebrating Easter or Christmas while proclaiming oneself to be an atheist or agnostic? Celebrating Ramadan? Chanukah? Only the brown shirts will know it when they see it, I guess.

If I believed in hell, I’d be 100% sure that Karoline Leavitt will rot there in her afterlife. She’s possibly the most despicable woman in this administration of horribles.

All the fucking “winning”

This is what kidnappers, rapists, home invasion robbers, domestic abusers, and terrorists say to their captives. You know what else? They’re all liars, too.

“*You* have to have flexibility” -> as in, he expects you to bend over and let him do whatever he wants, whether you like it or not. What do you expect from an adjudicated rapist?

Market manipulated. Who sold the most before the dip? Who bought the most in the dip? What did they know and when did they know it?

This is the WH press secretary. Her job is to openly display disdain for those who her favorite felon targets. She always has the biggest smile when she gaslights Americans in her daily schadenfreude diatribes. She gleefully insults the media when they ask her questions against pogrom. She is 27.

Feeling dark today. Because my first thought in seeing this was “The whole world is saying the same thing about US right now.” Even if we’re allowed to have free and fair elections, what country would go all in with us, knowing that in 100 days of a presidential term, we let one convicted felon
