bsky.app/profile/reut... I sort of called this a while back, although my strategy would have been to rename the firms ahead of any executive orders. The Constitution expressly forbids laws targeting individuals.

As a (for now) registered Republican, this appalls me. I haven't completely given up hope for decency, but resistance gets harder with every outage. Now that fiscal conservatism has been scrapped, there's really nothing left for me within the GOP. youtube.com/shorts/Ut4LB...

alp.fas.harvard.edu/people/sunn-... If you haven't found Sunn M'cheax on YouTube, you're missing out. Plus, his voice is butter smooth! Last night I sat through Alan Dershowitz's graduate address at New College of Florida. A drastically different view of the role of education.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrections are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy.

As a post secondary educator I try to give my students the same respect and freedom to be curious that I experienced in college.

Is the GOP legislation finally growing a spine? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/05/... They ask us to trust the process, but they fail the basics.

My dream for America: Donald Trump is old and fat. He will die soon. He is neither above the laws of nature, nor will he be above God's laws in the afterlife. In the wake of his death there be an inevitable scramble to try to fill his vacuum, but he has surrounded himself with incompetents.

The actions of this administration have undermined any serious political efforts to "run government like a business" and have proven why this is disastrous.

The narrative of "paid protestors" is driven by people for whom the concept of doing anything that doesn't directly benefit themselves is completely foreign--and we've seen how they treat anyone who's foreign!

Trying to use this for more than just politics. This is my OCD's idea of a good time on a Friday night: label & alphabetize my spices!

It's become a predictable pattern now: the market has a positive open (regression to the mean?), sell everything awaiting the latest stupid move by the executive branch, buy on the inevitable dip, repeat. So far I've made back 25% of last week's debacle. </SMH>

www.facebook.com/share/p/1643... Sorry to copy a Facebook post, but the incompetence is too glaring not to share! Add this to assuming tariffs are based on trade discrepancies and not actual numbers and the lies/damn lies/& statistics look truly malicious.

After yesterday's protests, I hope to see the end of maga. He will be deposed. He will be forgotten. We cannot know who voted for him, but we do know who spoke up for him, and they will be remembered. I look forward to a day when ALL of them are pushed from power. We will remember your names.

Just leaving downtown St Petersburg, FL for the hands off protest. We filled the street corners for almost all of downtown!

This will be unpopular with many voters, but exactly why we need informed younger voters. youtube.com/shorts/nhijF...

Want to better understand the enemy? Read this really long essay. open.substack.com/pub/nealstep...

I will never understand hiding behind the Gadsden flag while trampling our Constitution and the rights of others. images.app.goo.gl/dWQH93Z2jypE...

I am extremely uncomfortable with invoking a wartime act that was used to inter @georgetakei.bsky.social and countless others when the only attack this county is facing is from its leadership.

For Lent this year I've given up sobriety. It's going better than I thought. Or, it's been awful and I'm too lit to care.

Like I dummy,I bought Nvidia stock on Monday. It just recovered from bottoming out at a 15% loss, so I sold it a few minutes ago.

I'm unsurprised that those who didn't read far enough into throwing the money lenders & other merchants out of the temple don't get the impropriety of using the White House lawn as an auto dealership & social media to hawk vaporware. #notchristian

There is a fine line between venting and dwelling on what is making you miserable. Talk without action is wallowing.

youtu.be/h7an6EBy2N0?... This may clash with my previous post with a Bible quote, but this is what we need from the 1%. Make enough to give back, and make a positive difference.

bsky.app/profile/kyle... This is a shocking overreach and abuse of power & process.
