My first job writing software for personal computers was for a small startup (run by basically children) who were going to do a multiuser drawing application for the Macintosh. (You can find them everywhere now.) This was just about when the Macintosh II was released. Day 1, the demo. 🧵

I am not looking forward to four years of: 1. Administration does something clearly and categorically illegal. 2. A bunch of people say, "That's illegal!" 3. Administration makes obscene gesture, goes right ahead and does it anyway. 3. Schumer holds a press conference about the price of eggs.

I do not wish death on any other person, but there are certain people who, if hung, my thoughts and prayers would be with the rope.

It is Girl Scout Cookie Season, and of course I encourage you to support your local troops. In addition, though, if you'd like to support trans Girl Scouts, here's a list you can peruse. www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...

I will never forgive Trump for giving me positive thoughts about Erdoğan.

If you see someone who voted for Trump and is now facing unexpected consequences, I encourage you to sympathize with them and tell them they were misled and lied to. This is an opportunity to recruit people against Trump. That has value and is useful. Antagonizing them is not helpful.

If the Democratic leadership is conceding one-party rule, then the progressive wing of the party needs to step up and take the reins. We've had 33 long years of neoliberalism in the party. Time to try something else. The modern GOP is not interested in bipartisanship. Time to move on.

When I read this, I realized that the US Government was making a sovereign citizen argument. The 14a just says that you be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. With some *very* narrow exceptions, everyone physically in the US is subject to its jurisdiction. 🧵

I would be more impressed with the Democrats "you have to pick your fights" position if they did, in fact, pick a fight on something.

If I were the leader of a European country, I would be telling my defense minister to come back in a week with a plan to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump's entire life to this point has been one long lesson in absolutely no one holding him accountable for anything at any time, because of greed or cowardice. Why would he stop now? Why would he obey a court order? Saying "fuck you I'll do what I want" over and over again has always worked.
