Why are we tanking the market for a completely pointless trade war with our allies again? If you’re arguing that trade deficits are always bad (they’re not, but let’s pretend), Canada is only 7% of our deficit. Why aren’t we focused on a larger problem?

the Canadians leave America victorious

Congrats, Canada!! We Americans desperately needed a huge slice of humble pie. Suck it, Trump! Canada will NEVER be your coveted 51st state. 🇨🇦

This is fiscal irresponsibility 101 and evidences a total lack of concern for children by Bill Lee. We’re leaving $75m in fed funds on the table that helps nearly 700k TN kids and spending $3m in state funds to serve far less kids in only 15 counties. #TeamJRC www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

I’ve introduced a resolution to the 8th Amendment, clarifying that if someone is as fucking stupid as Andy Ogles, launching them into the sun is not considered cruel or unusual punishment

We’re keeping a list of resources available to the community as support in the aftermath of the shooting yesterday at Antioch High School. Many services are available in English and Spanish. www.nashville.gov/departments/...

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

We've been here before. We'll make it through if we don't cede an inch to the evil and depravity about to be unleashed. Look out for yourself, those you love, and everyone they'll be coming after.

What "efforts"? The dude isn't even in office yet. The whole thing is a fucking show just to fuck with us.

"I love America. You love it too" really hit me.

“Now it’s your turn to stand guard - may you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith.” 😭

Testing the Bluesky algorithm: #Nashville folks where y'all at?

Biden: "My administration is leaving the next administration with a very strong hand to play ... an America which is no longer at war, which has made historic investments in American workers, American energy, American factories. Generated the strongest economy in the world ..."

Schiff: "I've been in Congress a long time approving aid after disasters. I never once even considered 'is this hurricane hitting a red or blue state?' ... we need the incoming president to view it that way."

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other. Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse. I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

‘Twas always thus, and always thus will be.

Trump: - said its going to be hard to lower grocery prices - is talking about joining multiple foreign conflicts - is already walking back his “largest mass deportation ever!!” plan - is nominating the most hawkish Cabinet I’ve seen MAGA, yall feel played? Or just happy the Black lady lost?

Winter Storm Watch Total snow accumulations between 4 and 7 inches with locally higher amounts to 8 inches possible. From Friday morning through late Friday night. Plan on slippery roads and difficult travel conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday evening commute.

Bluesky's about to explode in popularity as everyone flees X and Threads and comes here. 😎

Spoke w/ @NWSNashville. A few points: 1. Overnight temps falling to low-mid 20°s. 2. Ongoing drizzle will end over next few hrs. 3. Winds decreasing. Lingering moisture will convert to ice, as we've already seen (esp Will Co.), and create slick spots. AM could be dicey.

I remember where there were highly anticipated boxing matches featuring guys actually in their prime instead of 40 years past it

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history. CC: Speaker Johnson

A lot of folks are saying the Gaetz ethics report will be leaked as early as today. Make it so.
