You don't just start a trade war with our biggest trading partners promising to go "back to normal" if they comply with vague demands. Supply chains are reworked. Old suppliers fired. Jobs are lost. Prices rise. Retaliatory tariffs are implemented. This is a child's approach to trade relations.

The most comically stupid assumption most Americans hold is that they've been at rock bottom and that radical changes will only lift them up. No sir. Your last few decades were almost the human ceiling in terms of good luck. You'll be moving in a surprise direction 👇 when a shake-up happens. Sorry!

A compulsive liar shows up to the Libertarian Party convention and promises to add a libertarian to his cabinet. He then doesn't. Turns out, the compulsive liar lied. 🤯

Oh, so you did vote, but you lied in front of Hasan's audience for leftist credit then? Or you didn't vote, and you lied to Sam Seder? Which one is it?

Remember, the whole point of activism is to translate, ultimately, into policy. And policy is determined by lawmakers, who depend on your vote to get elected. Nothing else matters if you don't participate in the system.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Piers Morgan: “50 years ago, before Roe came in, it wasn't a federal law. So why are you so exercised about it?" BTC: "Prior to Black people having the right to vote, they weren't allowed to vote. I'd be worked up if that was rolled back, too.“

As far as I can tell, there are still far too many people defending those in power versus those defending the powerless. It's pathetic.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do. As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

Sarah McBride, the first trans woman elected to Congress, says she'll comply with House rules restricting her from using women's bathrooms. I think it's a smart move by McBride. You have to pick your battles.

This is good news— and predictable. Threads was insistent on throttling political content, insistent on using a non-linear timeline, and insistent on promoting the same type of mindless engagement bait (“what’s the solution to this math problem?”) that rendered Facebook unusable.

raising children is hard, but it's all worth it for the one moment when you come back inside from hauling firewood all morning, and your child runs up to you, smiling, and tells you "log-pilled. you're a log-pilled firecel. heatmaxing. winter coded"
