Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Da qui a pochi mesi il mondo come lo conosciamo non esisterà più. Mai nella mia vita avrei pensato che l'Europa e la nostra democrazia potessero essere un giorno sotto attacco da parte di un movimento fascista che parte dagli Usa con l'ambizione di essere globale.

This is outrageous. Also a reason why I’d never change my name ever (we don’t in Italy)

My feed is a mix of US accounts talking about the news and Italian accounts commenting #sanremo2025. It does feel like old Twitter!

I stand with the American scientists who are trying to protect the data against a new scientific obscutantism. Knowledge must be defended from the barbarians.

“Mr Trump’s chaos isn’t confidence – it’s desperation. He’s trying to conjure power he doesn’t actually have. He is manufacturing a perception of dominance in the hope that Americans will simply accept it. The real danger is letting his illusion of power become reality.”

Thank you Seattle for a little snow magic this morning. Given where we are at the moment, I’ll take anything. Can’t be livid all the time.
