Kid I had in Sunday school is going to the State House.

Historically, the promise of America has been one of our biggest strengths. I cannot believe this administration is trying to burn that down.

Reality continues to have a liberal bias.

Thread. This is what Lina Kahn was trying to undo at the FTC under Biden. My conspiracy theory is that the billionaires went to Trump mostly to stop Kahn.

Maybe you were fired from your job as a federal employee or you are struggling to put food on the table or to afford a staple like eggs. DO NOT WORRY Trump has a clear plan to help, including (checks notes) spending $200 million in taxpayer dollars to thank HIMSELF. #WTF apple.news/AOTemmT96Q1u...

It’s interesting, in that Hegseth completely nails the analysis, then comes down on the side of evil. Which, I guess, is pretty much a good description of the GOP since W.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Boats are cool.

America is not for sale.

Judge says DEI plaintiffs, including private businesses and *universities*, are likely to succeed. Meanwhile, university presidents ask “how high?” when told to jump. Weasels!

New Doctorow Kickstarter just dropped. I know what I’m doing this weekend.

I don't think I need to tell bookworms, authors, and writers that, if the USPS is privatized, everyone from big stores like Barnes & Nobles to indies like the one I work for is fucked, right?

Always interesting to see talk of a Trinity University grad in the wild. Sounds like he did the school proud.

In hindsight, maybe Germany got this one right after the Big One.

Republicans in the senate propose a budget increase of $340B. Their proposal lets the 2017 tax cuts expire at the end of this year. They’re counting on the lame duck president to do their budget cutting dirty work gutting the country by illegally not spending money, so they can be shocked, SHOCKED!

As someone who’s worked in the aid sector, feels like we should have been talking more about how hostile Americans apparently are to the concept of foreign aid

Americans should ask how their data are being exploited.

Great thread on Delaware corporate governance, and the new Delaware law proposed to turn your 401k into a more direct billionaire money pump than it already is.

has a single mainstream journalist acknowledged that it was a massive media failure to treat project 2025 as a closed issue just bc trump lied a couple of times about not supporting it
