I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

I'm probably pissing in the wind, but I have little time off because of the holiday, so I'd like to offer a thread arguing against an ugly, ugly habit rising on Bluesky: Screenshots of articles without links. Stop it. Just fucking stop it.

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

It’s the same old story. Republicans are federalists only so long as it serves them.

The southern planter class loved the academy system where only the rich got an education. They didn’t like the public education system of the north - too expensive. Who wants to waste their money educating poor folk.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Fuck this guy. Ask any nurse or LPN or ER doc or admin clerk or social worker if they work weekends. This disrespect to our federal workforce is disgusting. Especially from this piece of shit.

I keep getting texts and messages asking me why most Democrats have rolled over and played dead. I’m as baffled as everyone else. They’re not going to gain anything by being quiet or becoming MAGA Lite. All they’re doing is making sure they share the blame when this all goes south.

MAGA is like “we want to make sure racial and gender preferences have no place in our society therefore everyone but white men are suspect!”
