Ask your bank if they are doing business with, or hold shares in, Tesla or other Musk enterprises. ....pjjb

A month after Trump’s inauguration, the honeymoon is over, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes: “With every policy he implements and offhand remark he makes, Trump is falsifying the imaginary versions of himself that inspired many of his supporters.” Read more: theatln.tc/WrHqkeMU

As the assholes threaten to reduce Medicaid and SSI payments, they are scaring the hell out of the aged, blind, disabled, and poor. These threats are just about as anti-Christian as anyone can imagine.

Our money, our choice

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Where do I get my ideas? From all over the place! In this case, from a photo on Etsy of a building I thought would be a great shop of some kind, with a few changes. I rotated it 90 degrees so the stair was in front, and moved the chimney to the side of the building. (See next post)

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

WE NEED A NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: Trump posts we aren’t at risk in a European War because the Atlantic Ocean will protect us He doesn’t know Oceanic Defense was disproved in the ‘20s and at Pearl Harbor. We’re in danger GET THE ALL-NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST tinyurl.com/bdhmjb44

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

It’s fitting that DOGE is just one big ‘rug pull.’ Elon, DOGE, Trump, and the MAGA media announce they've found an instance of massive fraud—one so absurd it on its face. Within hours, it collapses under the weight of its own lies. Then, without hesitation, they move right onto the next scam.

He’ll just keep crapping on everything good.

Overpowering justice & silencing are further consequences of techno-feudalism perpetuated by broligarchy 😣 Be just 🌱🌏🌈♻️🖖🏼 Interesting chat with Kai (ChatGPT) in the connected post, who first denied my request for creating an ALT-text.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Today in “restoring ecosystems to fix the biodiversity and climate crises instead of praying to the wizard for expensive technofixes” news: Reintroducing wolves will help expand woodlands and sequester carbon. Their whole job is culling deer. For free. www.forestryjournal.co.uk/news/2494003...

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

To all you white supremacists *obsessed* with DEI: That Delta plane that landed upside down in Toronto today was piloted by by a white man.

Luigi Mangione has a website now. "I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions..."

When Chump and his cronies are eventually neutralized, how do we prevent similar disasters from occurring in the future?.... pjjb
