Someone needs to remind the CEO that at one point there were more than 2m secretaries. There were also separate employees to do in office dictation. They were the original white collar displacements. New companies with new jobs will come from AI and increase TOTAL employment.

I feel like I don't belong here. Everybody is reveling in the outrage machine. I don't see any solutions. And I see a lot of misinformation being posted and nobody questions it because whoever is posting it is one of "ours" or should I say,one of yours. Do better.

Everybody post an image of 8647. Everyone. Everyday. See what happens!

There is something kind of special, miraculous even, that you can go find the best friend you've ever had in your life by going to the local Humane Society.

I wish you guys recognized the Damage Done by producing constant outrage in the people who use this app. It's bad for their health and it does nobody any good at all. We need action start talking about action.

Movies, Alcatraz, dolls, and pencils are chaff to distract from the fact he doesn't understand that trade is an exchange of money for goods, and he doesn't know whether he is responsible for upholding the Constitution.

Trump is 1/3 Mad Hatter, 1/3 Queen of Hearts and 1/3 Cheshire Cat.

Focusing on the important stuff like Trump's doll comment and ignore that he said he'd slaughter our auto industry if they don't wean themselves off of imported parts in the next few (checks calendar) days.

If the left doesn't get their act together there is no hope. But the left won't any more than MAGAs will because they're convinced, no matter how extreme, no matter how small the effect would be, not getting their way is unacceptable. Pick your battles, people. Everything is at stake.

I grew up with Duck and Cover and Air Raid Sirens going off. Civil rights battles, the Vietnam War, and the fight for women's rights. I have been through all that but never ever been as frightened as I am now.

Looks like there were a few Trump spokespersons who woke up with a foot in their mouth. Eg How many are going to buy the hostile political act bullshit?

The truth is a hostile political act.

Trump's EO calls for military and national security "assets" to be deployed on American streets to assist with law enforcement, and for the prosecution of local officials who talk about "DEI stuff" like the history of racist police violence. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I bet Trump employs thousands of undocumented immigrants in his hotels.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... “Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” he told CNBC in March. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days"

In spite of this administration's repeatedly ignoring court orders and presenting bad faith arguments to the courts, I haven't seen anyone discuss what happens next. I feel like I'm being strung along, waiting for a shoe, any shoe, to drop.

Trump is defying court orders left and right. Now what?

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

I look at pictures of the Vietnam War protests, and remember the protests I went to, and today's protests seem wimpy.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
