This is beyond disgusting. I was having a conversation with a friend’s high school daughter yesterday about how she wants to be a game developer and I told her she could totally be one with her love of code and art. I fear if we continue down this path she’ll never pursue it.

NEW: During Donald Trump's first presidency, @crew.bsky.social tracked almost 4,000 conflicts of interest which netted him vast amounts of money. This time, his business interests and the ways to corrupt him have only grown, and we'll be tracking it all: www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." FDR 1938

The Trump admin has revoked Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States. As I have been saying for months: Trump is not only going after undocumented people. He's also "de-documenting" people who are here and working *legally* www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

All those schmucks that voted for Trump because he'd keep us out of war, and Harris would start WWII. Where they at now?

A source for tracking the Trump Administration's moves. There were a few things in there I hadn't caught previously. There's just so much shit flooding the zone.

A 21 year old, and another who graduated highschool 7 months ago have been hired in the OPM -- and NOT as interns. One is a Senior Advisor. Curiously, Wired refused to name them because of their age. If they're old enough to dismantle the US govt, they're old enough to be named. They're adults.

Before last night, the last commercial plane crash in this country was in 2009. We have the safest airspace in the world. Been that way for years. Our air traffic control system/controllers are the world’s gold standard. I’m sorry, “DEI” is to blame for WHAT?

This administration's extreme decisions are already being put to the test. I'm sure this committee would have been actively involved in the aftermath of this evening's crash.
