I love this place , could just hang out here all day

And there it is... The 2nd part to Trump's played out but destructive playbook. First, he manufactures a crisis (via tariffs) and then he solves said crisis (he just announced a pause on tariffs on Mexico) for in the end what will be some marginal advancement on some goal of his.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

@warren.senate.gov we need you to use cameras and physical bodies. No secrets. Schumer is weak. You, @sanders.senate.gov , @aoc.bsky.social and @jasmineforus.bsky.social along with an honorable mention for my home state dudes @wyden.senate.gov and @jeff-merkley.bsky.social need to band together

Ruth Bader Ginsburg wisely said, “The true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle—it is the pendulum.” Today, that pendulum has swung too far from justice, democracy, and freedom. It’s on us to push it back. To fight, to protest, to rise. The future is ours to reclaim.

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL

Just like last time but way more organized and deliberate … if you wanted to destroy America’s influence and role globally, your playbook would essentially be the Trump Show.

“Republicanism”

This blew my mind.

Don’t let him forget.

A point from this that I hadn’t previously considered was how strange this approach is for a company and CEO who claim to embrace and have developed world class AI capabilities. Instead of further develop them to make screening better, they’re throwing them out the window.

Thanks to @siggy.bsky.social this now live rent free in my brain.

Someone said similar things about Poland once I think…

Over the past 4–5 years, Facebook has sunset tools (chiefly CrowdTangle) used by researchers and journalists, made data difficult and expensive to get, and iced out academics studying disinformation. Now, it's shutting down the fact checking on its platform.

Maybe we could use light … shine it in the body.

Genius strikes when you least expect it

The single biggest step the US could take away from what’s corrupting our nation is to get private money out of our elections

LOL

Bingo

Sure, but since when have facts gotten in the way of that orange blowhard from saying “we won by the largest of margins in the history of the world”

Yeah, that about sums it up

This might all be coming together now ! Got my car buddies, my tech buddies, my Star Trek buddies, politics buddies. Happy to see more people showing up here.
