Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

Hey, anyone within earshot in Canada: Any sane American realizes that Canada has been the closest US ally, not only literally and geographically (see also: Mexico) but commercially, diplomatically, militarily, all ways other than sports playoffs This spasm of Trump policy is destructively insane

In this instance, standing up against and defying the United States of America is the morally, geopolitically, and strategically right decision.

In a meeting, staged by and for the Kremlin, Trump today proved he is truly the useful idiot for Russia that we all suspected. He is breaking America for the benefit of Russia. We are under attack terrorist attack and he and Vance are leading it.

Actual question, after watching Oval Office spectacle w one president standing up for his country, and a prez and VP pandering for Putin: I don't recall ever being more ashamed, as an American, of a president's public behavior. (Many have erred in private) What has been more shameful than this?

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Oh that’s easy - the Republican base is so mad that they were told to make a sacrifice during COVID to save lives that they’re fully dedicated to removing anyone’s ability to tell them that again and they don’t care what goes with it. It’s a party of spoiled children who don’t want to listen to mom.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Absolutely agree. Targeting them for cheap political points is cowardly and evil.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

This is a great question for all of congress to think about. Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ? Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

#skiing, #parkcity Jan. 4 @pcski.bsky.social and @vailresorts.bsky.social will not fairly pay their professional ski patrol. Shameful. Long lines like this today and dangerous, overcrowded runs because they cannot open the vast majority of the resort.

Can confirm it’s a mess. And it will stay a mess until the professional ski patrol that knows the mountain is back on the job. Huge unforced error by @vailresorts.

People voted for a fictional Trump they made up in their heads and the question is whether the massive propaganda apparatus behind him can maintain that fiction while he does all the things many of his voters told themselves he wouldn’t do bsky.app/profile/carl...

A 3-year-old child shot their 1-year-old sibling with a gun that was left unsecured in a North Carolina home on Wednesday, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

Every day in America, over 300 people are shot, and whether these attacks are random or targeted, the source of the problem is the same: unfettered access to firearms. It's the guns, folks.
