The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?

Hey, BlueSky geniuses: Has anyone yet made a starter pack of Canadian thought leaders, public intellectuals, journalists, and progressive activists, scientists, economists et al that we could all follow and open lines of communication with? I think that would be popular. And is deeply needed.

Kaine: "Last week the president signed an emergency order regarding energy. There's an energy emergency and he just put a 10% tariffs on energy from Canada? He is increasing prices at the pump at the same time he's saying there's an energy emergency. The emergency is self-created."
