The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

With Trump giving Musk access to confidential info on every American, I led every @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social Democrat in demanding Congress receive within 14 days all documents and materials related to their intrusion. We must protect privacy, demand accountability, and shine a light on DOGE.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

The Senate just received another report that Pete Hegseth is too drunk and abusive to be our Defense Secretary. This is not a one off. Report after report of alcohol, assault, harassment. This is a pattern of abuse. We need answers, not a rushed vote.

I’ve seen Trump attack Newsom, I’ve seen him spread disinformation, I’ve seen him blame Biden & I’ve seen lie about the state’s emergency response to the crisis, but has he extended any condolences? Has he expressed any worry or concern? Promised a helping hand? Did I miss that?

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.
