Trump to Elon today.

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

this entire thread is one of the most critical analyses of the goals of Trump’s second term. This is a ‘moral moment’, as Sen. Booker said.

There’s a reason we have been calling this all “gangster tech regulation” - it’s a shakedown www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24...

the millennial singularity occurs when someone scans a single banana at the grocery store priced at $10

Pretty sure Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford just received "a mandate." Donald Trump did not. 🍿

MSNBC calls the Wisconsin Supreme Court race for Susan Crawford

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

these are the dullest people alive

Sen. Husted on CNBC stumbles his way into endorsing a tax *increase* for the richest Americans, but then claims he's just aligned with whatever Trump wants to do

Americans of all political affiliations will miss the checks and balances that Donald Trump is trying to dispense with.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

AOC can become one of the most powerful people in the country automatically and likely stay one for decades just by chilling in her safe seat for another 10 or so years. Not as good as being president but maybe not everyone wants/needs to be president?

Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...

Absolutely love this! ⚽️ #FPL

“Hey America, your money is no good here. Literally.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

The kind of person that kills dogs.

average online experience when explaining simple social and economic concepts to right wingers:

it’s incredible the amount of propaganda and pure slop that people fall for, believe, and/or propagate on X these days. as a gen z, this is one of the first times it feels like we are truly living in two separate Americas right now.

prediction: xai will get lucrative government contracts used to offset the on-paper debt of x in what is effectively an accounting trick of moving money from one pocket to the other and calling it revenue

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

All you need to know about Twitter

“Musk is killing Tesla. His lack of integrity, lack of internal consistency, and deeply fascistic leanings are now on full display for the world to see. And the world has responded by violently throwing up in their mouths.”

Fear and Loathing at CPAC

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
