Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr. Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker. Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored. Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Think different in 2025: Find and support businesses that are actually doing the right thing. Money talks—spend it where it matters.

Here's what Jack Smith responded. I have been saying that BOTH the Smith and Weiss reports may come out Friday. This says Garland hasn't decided what to do abt the docs case yet. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If the Jack Smith report is released, I'm going to record an audio version, and also disseminate it like a Regina George Burn Book.

Morning beauty

If we're dm'ing that's great. I will not be responding to any new dms again, so don't dm me, if you're a new BS, person. I'm not here for love, sex or any other thing. I'm here for one reason, my displeasure of OldDONz, MAGA. We can be friends. That's it! Sorry, dms are closed!!!

We might have just rung in a new year, but it feels like an epidemiological Groundhog Day.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Every time I read a retrospective on COVID I remember the early days, when people published commentaries about the 1918 flu pandemic, how it was SO WEIRD that that whole thing just got memory-holed, how did that happen so many people died? Covid now has >20 million. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

I 💓this!

Let's talk about the way transmascs and transfems have been treated in putatively feminist and, for lack of a better term, "female-centered" spaces. Because I'm seeing a troubling trend of history being rewritten before our very eyes in order to prop up some rather questionable rhetoric.

My sentiments

Chapter 5 “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social is for all to remember the obligations of professions. Doctors-Hippocratic Oath to refrain from causing harm or hurt, to prescribe only beneficial treatments. Lawyers-Oath to uphold the Constitution. Police, firemen too We need to hold them to this.

Best intro to a book I’ve seen in awhile

Fossil fuel companies

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

We don’t forget. This is what January 6th is:

I love it. Also, what makes it better is that it's women who keep beating Trump and his minions: Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, won in a defamation lawsuit. Giuliani Is Held in Contempt of Court in Defamation Case www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/n...

4 years ago, a week before I was to take the oath of office for Texas State Representative, I remember watching in absolute horror as destruction descended upon our Capitol as orchestrated & lead by Trump. I simply couldn’t believe my eyes. A week later, as I was to be sworn in,

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤 (Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

JFC! Even Trudeau can't do it! He'd rather quit than deal with him the next 4 years! I want to quit him!!! 😩

Elon Musk is by far one of the greatest threats to democracy both here and abroad The fact it isn't leading the news daily is wild to me, but here we are. Elon Musk Faces Fury Over Support for Jailed Fascist Leader thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-fa... via @thedailybeast

Serious question, people... Are we going to survive the next 4 years? My anxiety has been next level since November 6th & it's just getting worse. 😫

It’s out! My interview with MeidasTouch’s Brett Meiselas on the True Power of Independent Journalism @meidastouch.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social

President Biden deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, no matter how many times Donald Trump grumbled about it.

BREAKING: Twitter is falling. We’ve lost 60,000 followers there. But we’ve nearly gained it all back here. Good with me.

President Biden appointing 61 Black LIFETIME judges during his time in office is a serious flex. He understood the damn assignment.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

"...Trump’s first-day-in-office agenda, ... is for Trump to sign an executive order kicking transgender service members out of the military. Currently that includes 15,000 troops, including officers in key positions." www.palmerreport.com/analysis/tru...

So you’ve read his amazing reports. Now look at the starter pack. Check it out and follow all:

He may have been elected but let’s not forget. He is a: * Rapist * Fascist * Sexual Predator * Grifter * Conman We do not need to comply to his need for crowd sizes and yes people around him. We are the #Resistance
