Your reminder that when Biden left office, inflation was closer to target than it has been for <85%> of the months since the target was formally established in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop... Yes, they’re going to try & do this, & yes, the media is going to let them get away with it.

To all my Bluesky friends, please join me in this effort to fight back and protect our democracy! 💙 #Resist

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Yes. Do this!

1. It’s Trump’s not Trumps’. 2. U.S. Attorneys are not the president’s lawyers. They are the government’s lawyers and therefore in the U.S. the people’s lawyers. 3. Ed Martin is fully on board with transforming a government of, by, and for the people into a government of, by, and for Donald Trump.

wrote a long piece about how fascists justify cruelty. It works a lot like John Wick or James Bond; you create a story about evil bad guys who deserve whatever happens to them. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-righte...

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.

Who is responsible for this? 🤣

"I lost my advertising, most of my subscribers, my home, my liberty, and every dollar I had in the world. I lost all but a few loyal friends, my devoted family, and all but lost my newspaper but thank god I retained the pearl of great price—my self respect."

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

When National Park Rangers start hanging flags upside down, you know you fucked up.

I want to address a related point to the one I raised in this thread. A couple years ago the Times did a really strong package about the power of SpaceX. Not only is SpaceX. Not only is it now one if not the preemptive orbital delivery company in the world it also has a fleet of ...

Grimes, who has three children with Elon Musk, is trying to get his attention by posting on the app he owns.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has rejected a Republican-backed request to extradite a doctor charged with prescribing abortion pills online to a Louisiana resident last month.   "I will not be signing an extradition order that came from the governor of Louisiana, not now, not ever."

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

"We are acting in the interest of every man who acts decently and fairly by his fellows...I regard this contest as one to determine who shall rule this free country—the people, or a few ruthless and domineering men, whose wealth makes them peculiarly formidable." -- Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

From Kate Conger’s book “Character Limit” on how Musk ruined Twitter.

You can always count on Cap to punch a nazi. ✊️

This is very funny, but I’ve always thought Canada isn’t as friendly and polite as we seem, more repressed. Which means when you push the wrong button, it’s like in A Christmas Story when Ralphie loses it and beats the absolute snot out of Scut Farkus. Somebody better hold onto our glasses.

Every single day, it is somehow worse and more destructive and malevolent than even the previous day's destructive malevolence prepared me for. It's like an exponential growth curve for batshittery.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
