Consider all the technology that goes into making all the technology as I am typing out onto Bluesky. That will make even the cheapest new computer at least $2000 dollars (Chromebook) and the cheapest new iPhone $5000 dollars. Let that sink in folks. #Tarriffs

This is not okay. We pay our hard earned money to the government, yet we have no control over how our data is controlled and how our government now can weaponize it against its own citizens. #HandsOff. www.cnn.com/2025/04/08/p...

@kylekulinskishow.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @meidastouch.com We need to bring this back up again. #Tariffs

Not a single soul, should listen to economic advice from a man who had to create an economist in his book to back up his policies out of anagram of his last name. For the uninformed, Peter Navarro quotes Ron Vara, an economist in his book, Death by China (2019). www.yahoo.com/news/rachel-...

Also over the weekend I saw a lot of talking heads (in favor of the current Econ policies) say that Americans will have to live with less. America is the “excess” capital of the globe. We can’t immediately, don’t want to, and wouldn’t know how to survive without excess “stuff” in our lives. 1/2

I think I started seeing panic buying signs here in Austin. Local Sam’s, Costco, and Aldi stores had unusually large crowds in them over the weekend. My local Costco at 11:30 am had line to get in the stretched at least 3-4 blocks long. Any other repots out there? #PanicShopping

Who would have thought that a song from the 80’s would spin back around and have so much meaning today? Living Colour knew what they meant with “Cult of Personality” way ahead of their time. #FlashbackFriday #BlackFriday #

Anyone notice that at the end of FP2 Hadjar was on “wets”. Smart move by Mekies to throw them on and scrub them in for Sunday. Looks like it’s going to be a wet race. #F1 #Formula1

For anyone that doesn’t understand the current economic crisis in America, please read the thread below in Sen. Murphy’s feed. This is as clear as day and everyone should be on every media outlet (Social and MSM) screaming this from the rooftops. #Taxation2Depression

Bluesky, hero’s don’t always wear a cape. Sometimes they are a man, elected by the people, ranting like a madman for 24+ hours, about anything and everything, fighting for everything he loves. His country. #CoryBooker

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to remind everyone that this man once told us lyrically that he was the “American Bad Ass”. But I digress. 😂🤣

Correct me if I am wrong but does #CoryBooker have a brand new stocked binder in front of him. And dude looks like he has grandma’s nightstand next to him. Tissues, cough drops, and Wether’s. Someone get that man a few meal replacement bars….eaten slowly of course. 😂🤣.

The fact that this had to be published AGAIN, is a shame and as an American makes me sad that we now have to be lumped into a column with China and Russia to other foreign tourists, and even our own Green Card holders.

Cory Booker still going….15 hours…. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb.... #CoryBooker. We need more politicians like this, Finally!!!!!

If you don’t believe that we are headed into an authoritarian state: I am taking this quote directly from the WWII museum article. 1/5

I think the best part of the Signal text chain (being a Signal user in the past) is this (see attached). Right after the war plans were shared. If you didn’t think you had something classified, why would you set the messages to disappear in the middle of chat? 🤔

Ben & Jerry’s has always been known in my generation for its progressive ideologies as a “brand”. Once again, the shift in corporate activism and corporations telling their smaller brands what and how to act MUST stop. www.bbc.com/news/article...

After yesterday’s comments in my mind this is the before and after pictures of the Kennedy Center. smh.

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/uc4Wg5yn. #HandsOff #Indivisible Please share through Bluesky. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

Soooooo…did all 1500 pardons for J6 insurrectionists get signed with the “My First Pencil” that he uses (Sharpie) that all us Gen Xers had in Kindergarten?!?!

#Trump #Doge If we are supposed to be cutting spending, looking for waste fraud, and abuse, then why did government spending increase? Make this administration make sense please. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/u...

Thank you for your service @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. You are a true American hero as a Naval Pilot, an astronaut, a devoted husband to former senator Giffords, and now a Senator yourself. You are what selfless service should look like.

#StockMarket. I have never, in my lifetime, seen Nasdaq be more upside down than the NYSE.

This is how I feel about it all right now. And I am thankful for the West Wing. #AlGreen
