Elon Musk is remaking Washington. Allies of another tech billionaire are helping lead the charge.

Well said!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Zelensky is given a hero’s welcome by King Charles

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

True hero.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

We need more like her.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Spineless Google caves to fascism. I hope everyone writes all these things in on all their calendars, including their Google calendars and everyone celebrate these events anyway. Celebrate them bigger than ever before.

Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters. “I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said. I wonder how Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina & South Carolina feel about “taking care of their own problems” without federal help.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

A convicted felon who assaulted women, did all he could to overthrow our 2020 elections, lied that he had won, stole our counties nuclear secrets, lied about that & showed them to foreign billionaires. Nothing to celebrate. Its sickening.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service. #ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

Trump can’t legally own a firearm, but he’s about to be given the nuclear launch codes. Very normal country we have.

Bye, bitch.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”

New Jersey joined at last five other states that have passed legislation that aim to slow the surging tide of censoring reading materials that deal with racial and sexual themes, including those about the LGBTQ community. @mattvas.bsky.social reports: stateline.org/2025/01/07/l...

Wow! Biden completely outsmarted Trump with his executive order to permanently ban drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. Biden didn’t just sign it, he invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Trump can ONLY undo it with an act of Congress or in the courts. Dark Brandon strikes again!

Thank you President Carter

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:

My response to Donald Trump’s efforts to block the Special Counsel from issuing his final report:

Kyrsten Sinema's campaign spending looks fishy to us: $3,600 in the UK. $5,400 in France, including $2,800 at a castle in Burgundy. $3,120 to vendors in Italy. How does she explain that, when she's leaving office and not running again?

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

Expect my next video essay by the end of the year. "Vonnegut's Board Game: Preservation, Annotation, Context" talks not only about GHQ, but what gets preserved & why, the rhetorical significance of preserving minor works, & the role of textual criticism in how we frame & discuss works of art.

Out for my walk, deep breaths, positive thinking. When you believe in possibilities, you’re on your way to making them come true.🪴#Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings while the world is still dark.💙💙💙 #BlueSkys

BREAKING: President Biden is considering a preemptive pardon for Former Rep. Liz Cheney prior to Donald Trump taking office. Trump has previously threatened that Cheney would face prosecution for her opposition to him. 💙 if you think POTUS should pardon Liz Cheney!

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Democrats need to stop doing the GOP's work for them and quit all this nit-picking and tearing down of our own. For 4 years, Biden was constantly criticized by many of our own elected officials and pundits. Nothing he accomplished ever good enough to satisfy them.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

100% accurate.
