that Trumpers think the US Postal SERVICE should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

The Constitution gives Congress power to establish the U.S. Postal Service. It did, by law, during the Washington administration. Its status as an independent agency was established by Congress in law. USPS is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable.

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

Not trying to be annoying, but I think some random congressperson is going to have to get arrested trying to get into the federal buildings that DOGE is at if you want this crisis to break through to the front page. Each attempt to enter and getting orderly turned away doesn’t seem to be doing much.

I appreciate libraries as much as the next guy, but how is it that at any given moment there are like 3-5 semi-viral posts "reminding" everyone to make use of their local library on here? Maybe the most uniquely /Bluesky/ type of post so far.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

The United States should seek to strengthen relations with China, not treat it as some kind of looming menace with whom World War III is an inevitability. www.currentaffairs.org/news/2022/08...

I really do believe AI is inherently fascist. Both the resources it takes to generate and the soullessness of its output render it entirely irredeemable, but it also hollows out any meaning we can get from communication and art and reduces human life to an aesthetic it wears like a skinsuit.

If you possess millions of dollars in a world where many people struggle because they do not have much money, you are an immoral person. Being extremely wealthy is impossible to justify in a world containing deprivation. www.currentaffairs.org/news/2017/06...

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class. We cannot let it happen.

More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.

No genre of music fell off harder than country music from the 80s outlaw country that was irreverent of institutions to the stadium country now that is just about girls in jeans, trucks, beers and loving patriotism and the corporate sponsors

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

We know that the Trump administration is planning an all-out assault on basic rights. But there is a question about what your state legislators will do to respond. Will they insist on waiting months into next year or will they be proactive? #mapoli actionnetwork.org/letters/beac...

Leaf blowers are my enemy. Loud, ecologically disastrous, wasteful, sanitizing monsters. We already have a leaf blower, and it’s the wind. And she is beautiful. You want to mimic the wind? You want to tell her how to do her job?? You prick.
