Ok, everyone. We left Twitter for BlueSky. We leave Amazon for… ? Yeah, I know, local shops. But my local shop for printer ink and 1000 other things is just another national chain, and delivery is arguably more sustainable. So what’s the non-Bezos Amazon?

Bezos' talk about "personal liberties" reminds me of a very popular thread I once wrote over on the Bad Place, about libertarians and what they mean by "freedom." threadreaderapp.com/thread/12845...

Oh, did we say we’d cut the price of eggs? We meant we’d cut Medicare. Honest mistake!

There is nothing more obviously inevitable to me than everyone eventually concluding that, no, you can't work with the Trump admin., you can't "find areas of compromise," you can't treat this as normal politics, the only option is total, unremitting opposition. Everyone will get there eventually.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Wow, this is positively Orwellian. If you haven’t seen it, start at 1.00. You don’t just get to decide that something that everyone has always called one thing is now called another thing. It’s like I’ve decided to call your arms legs, and if you disagree you’re a liar. youtu.be/wa40_gSYCe8?...

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

This is worth reading — Transit expert @humantransit.bsky.social took a ride on Elon’s “Vegas Loop” aka Teslas in Tunnels, and it didn’t change his mind that among other issues, it doesn’t scale. Because, you know, math, which The Boring Company doesn’t seem to want to show. #CityMakingMath

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

The good news is that Trump’s only metric for policy and action will be the likelihood that the outcome enriches him personally. This could land on either side of many important issues.
