If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

Republicans are not interested in keeping people safe. From their shocking dereliction of duty during the COVID pandemic to the Twitterification of Fed agencies resulting in a plane crash to releasing dangerous criminals... this is all so discouraging and contrary to their messaging

Russ Vought devised these illegal holds on funding for disaster relief, medical research, student aid, child care, nutrition, and foreign assistance, as well as purges of the federal workforce. If confirmed as OMB Director he’ll keep this up for four years. The Senate should reject his nomination.

One of the unintended outcomes of the "I'm not racist you're racist" folks is all of these executive actions etc illuminates how much race forms the basis of their world view, belief system, and their reason for attempting to remake America.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

I hold these as strong beliefs: - DJT won the 2024 election - DJT ran in part to stay out of prison - McConnell voted against the 2nd impeachment bc he knew we could be where we are right now. - Garland dragged his feet in appointing Smith as Special Counsel. - Judge Cannon obstructed and delayed

At our Presbyterian Church, we recognized "Epiphany" today - when the wise men, guided by a 🌟, delivered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrhh to baby Jesus. We also selected "star words" to guide us through the year. I chose "Select" and "Count" which suggests I'll continue hitting SQL hard! #data
