Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

“Make them squirm! Get chucked out of the Oval Office.” “Take the lie, smash him round the head with it.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social doesn’t think the journalist who attempted to question Donald Trump on the leaked texts scandal went far enough.

The post-World War II order really is done. Trump appears to be essentially abolishing the United States Agency for Global Media, which includes Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and more. This is a very big deal, though not unexpected as Trump turns our longstanding allies into enemies.

This is obviously just blatant racebaiting, but I feel honor bound to remind everyone that New York City is one of the safest places in the country.

From Black Mountain Fire Chief John Coffey. Firing USFS personnel in the Pisgah National Forest is irresponsible and lives at risk. Who will manage prescribed burns? Western NC needs prescribed burns & management now more than ever. #ncpol #hurricanehelene #wnc

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

The republicans in the North Carolina State Legislature do not want our state to be able to sue the federal government over laws and executive orders our state deems as unconstitutional. Republicans are against our Attorney General protecting the people of our state. ⬇️

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

I shared someone else's take on this earlier but I can't get it out of my head what an unbelievably bad tweet this is. We elected people to fight for us, not just throw up their hands and let democracy slip away.
