Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

In a new Power & Flour podcast, @jhagner.bsky.social and I discuss why Trump's targets have been so specific and the Democratic response has been so vague. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Board member of META asks a very good question.

Motion to rename the Gulf of California as the Gulf of Mexico

This energy.

I fear he is right.

This is how war is, especially modern civil conflict. It's not Hollywood. People go to work, go to school, go shopping and hang out. Even combatants, when they're not fighting. Rabbi Zober's point is important because *we'll need to recognize when we're in it.* Otherwise the frog boils.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

Who is going to hold the line? *Each* of us need to find a way to hold the line.

Sean Duffy passed his committee vote unanimously yesterday, in part because he promised not to let politics (illegally) get in the way of funding transportation projects congress approved. But he made that promise before his boss issued an executive order demanding that he do just that.

The resistance is made up of a million little steps. Today at Barnes and Noble, his administration’s books will be a little harder to find.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Sunday’s Zoom with @hcrichardson.bsky.social was full of wisdom on how to navigate 2025—focus on what you can control, find your people, and never stop learning. So, what’s your game plan to make it through the year?

How is going to Mars a model of government efficiency?

Tomorrow's going to feel like being dropped off by your dad to live with the stepdad you hate and don't want to be alone with

Who would have that that in the year 2025 the Breaking News music would signal an announcement about the Supreme Court keeping a ban for an app on our phones? What do you remember the Breaking News music signaled when you were a kid?

Not sure who at @hgtv.bsky.social decides to schedule The American President today. We need a serious leader who will work to address our serious problems. Not someone who wants to play the blame game and scare the American public.

I'm a believer in smart policy, but all the finger-pointing in the LA firestorm about hydrant flows and LAFD budgets seems like arguing about the adequacy of Hiroshima's 1945 building code standards. It's a way to evade the big questions.

If City leaders truly want clean air... follow Paris' lead. Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo has had vision + guts. By building many hundreds of miles/kilometres of protected bikelanes, she cleaned the air. As bonus, she got a healthier, greener, more fun city, for all ages & backgrounds.

THIS!! Every. City. Can. Be. THIS! It *just* takes vision and courageous leadership. Whose in?

If only there was a way for people to not have to drive to the airport. Oh wait. www.denverpost.com/2024/12/22/d...

I’m really like reading Blake Crouch books but I’ve read them all … so with some downtime coming up, I am open to suggestions! #blueskybooks

No sh*t Sherlock… If only he had had an opportunity to do something about this place we have found ourselves in. Oh, wait…

Thanksgiving seems like good enough a time to say hello to the #Bluesky world. As much as social media can be a gravity well, I truly value learning about my world through the community I am surrounded by. Looking forward to connecting, building, growing and learning.
