I don’t see a lot of Americans saying this explicitly so I want to be clear that I am not only against this Canada stuff because it would be stupid and dumb but also because our Canadian brethren have self determination and dignity and the US is pondering an evil action

Almost all the articles about DOGE’s supposed savings, positive or negative, seem to leave out that every cut is, in near or long term, actually a cost.

Gonna post cringe for just a second here. Not on a self-pity kick, just out of ideas and pride: I have some irons in the fire and some contract stuff, but I need a full time job in LA. Whatever I've been doing isn't working and I need help. If you have any ideas, please DM or email me (in bio).

Hey @benwikler.bsky.social any better ideas? Like perhaps action of some kind? You should have been the one with his job. We are all losers now because this guy won.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

A fundamental story of the last decade is that a lot of basically incompetent people got fed up by competent people telling them they were wrong, constructed a more welcoming alternative ecosystem of competency cosplayers, and then somehow turned the whole government over to them.

Since Dobbs and SC’s passage of an abortion ban before most women know they’re pregnant, SC’s maternal mortality rate has risen from 8th to 7th highest in the nation, and infant mortality has climbed from 5th to 4th. Those legislators are killing more people.

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

Just to be clear, this is already illegal and prevented by current legislation, which should be enforced. What is the enforcement plan for the new legislation?

Elected officials, your posts should be: 1. Breaking info (we don’t need you to tell us what we already know) 2. Telling us concrete things we can do (not how to feel, that’s obvious) 3. Telling us what concrete things you’re doing (and why it’s helping) That’s it. Stop wasting our time.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Remembering the old Europe joke: In Heaven, the Germans are the engineers, the French are the cooks and the English are the policemen. In Hell, the Germans are the policemen, the French are the engineers, and the English are the cooks. Imagining it for political philosophy/ theory.
