@anandwrites.bsky.social was absolutely right this morning on @MorningJoe. Maybe @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is the right guy to wrestle the house but we need a leader to rally the troops!

I think every line has been crossed today. The Ukraine position is a debacle. The Musk email crap is an embarrassment. If you think these things are ok, we are not friends. We’re not even on the same planet. There is no excuse for this other than we are being had by immature, narcissistic asses.

It’s time to draft @marthastewartt.bsky.social to host @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social !

You tell em, Chris!

Who in our community is a historian capable of providing commentary about the parallels between what is going on now and 1930s Germany? How are we going to avoid the same mistakes? #Resistance

this kind of patient, accumulative journalism requires an enormous amount of work, and has a commensurate degree of value.

Feb 5 - be there! This is not a drill!

So who will be the first Democrat elected official who ends up jailed by resisting Trump’s actions? Let’s start a pool!

"A letter submitted to the Senate sent by 'physicians' in support of Kennedy's nomination includes names of doctors who have had their licenses revoked, suspended or faced other discipline, the AP has found..." www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

How crazy would it be for me to suggest the Trump “arranged” for the two plane crashes to consume news cycles and get people to overlook the mass firings and systems takeover?

Do not be stunned. Whatever he said he would do, times it by 10

I’m sorry to say it but Bluesky is a bust. There’s a small bunch of us with similar interests talking to ourselves. Look at the low reach numbers. We need to be reaching larger populations otherwise we’re just wasting time - Now is the time for all good people to come to the air of their nation!

Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has “every right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.” Here’s the clip:

Despite Trump’s claims, DEI initiatives don’t uplift unqualified candidates – in fact, they make “sure no talent is left on the table,” says @profmmurray.bsky.social. And w/ Trump scapegoating the DC plane crash, “we’re right back where we have always been,” says @esglaude.bsky.social. #Velshi

A 90 day pause in providing foreign aid can have devastating effects for the recipients. Why can’t a review of aid take place while the programs continue? This is just a bullying tactic. It’s inhumane!

So a supercharged US Digital Service to get antiquated government up to civilian standards when it comes to basic tech? Fine by me except for the part about no transparency & a hopelessly conflicted tech mogul with massive federal contracts given total power. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This action, unlike many of the empty and legally toothless EOs is terrifying — it makes these violent militias directly beholden to Trump in an ironclad way www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/p...

This tweet was a choice made by the ADL

@ryanjreilly.com Confronted with today’s EO, a “friend“ said, “It’s about time these hostages were released. Is it safe to assume you wouldn’t like to see the tens of thousands of 2020 rioters in jail for assault, arson, looting, & the other felonies they committed?” How would you respond?

I love Bluesky especially since I realized that if I don’t follow anyone, I don’t have to deal with a lot of crap. It’s very zen!

Good Monday morning and welcome to Inauguration day.. I have prepared to check in with my Republican friends at every turn to ask the question, “Are you happy now?” 651 days until the midterms!

Twin Peaks changed my life.

Tommy Tuberville on Donald Trump: "He's not gonna pick somebody that's a criminal. He's not going to do that." Donald Trump:

D.O.G.E. says they are all about transparency and objectivity—so are they here? I can’t find an account. Only in X where they are quoting FOX News as a source. Sigh.

I’m here adding another social media platform to the long list of platforms I’m already on. For the record: Facebook - fully vested Instagram - mostly vested Threads - unconvinced X - hoping to drop it TikTok - love love love it Pinterest - huh, what? Reddit - still learning LinkedIn - business only
