U.S. military pilots are furious—lives were put at risk when Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon leaked flight plans for a live mission over Signal. Pilots were in the air while targets and timing were being texted. This wasn’t just a mistake. It was a failure of leadership. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Sorry America- I know you’ve been taught that Clint Eastwood will ride into town and clean out the bandits - but in reality the citizens will have to do it themselves. Clint Eastwood is an actor.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Trump is attacking environmental protections that are widely popular with the American people across party lines, but he doesn't want people to know. We can't let Trump pull out the rug on climate safeguards without fighting back. 💪 share.sierraclub.org/s/2Hy64rUh

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)
