I loathe that these antivaxx racist pseudoscience cultists are empowered to fuck with our public policy and kill people by studied misfeasance

This is consistent with Trump making overtime tax free. He wants taxpayers to subsidize employers who force workers to put in long hours. (Employers can fire workers for refusing to work overtime.)

Netanyahu & other Israeli hardliners have been, with the European far right, been pushing this theory that really it was Muslims, maybe even Palestinians, who convinced Hitler to do the holocaust and the effort seems to be bearing fruit

Andrew Cuomo has the experiences and character to save the nation. He is an exceptional choice for mayor of New York, a city I’ve never stayed in for more than 45 minutes. I’m afraid to cross a street that has more than two lanes. I think the American Airlines chatbot is a real person who likes me

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...

I have been neglectful of my BlueSky followers. X (The Everything App(TM)) is still the best place to situation watch unfortunately and I have most been over there. To make up for it, here is a thread of where we currently sit with the latest Israel-Iran conflict:

We've got two good friends who've been with USAID their entire careers, both unceremoniously fired from doing life-saving work in places that needed it. "Elon Musk shot it in the head" is exactly the metaphor and it's only barely a metaphor. Elon is covered in an ocean of blood.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

It’s so cool this administration is going to sell the most pristine parts of the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and Sawtooths to private owners so they can log, hunt, mine, and build survivalist compounds on our shared national heritage.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

I oppose war with Iran, but I can’t get excited about Tucker Carlson opposing war with Iran. I’m against it because I’m against unnecessary war generally and because it’d be bad for America. Tucker is against it because he’s gone full Russia flack and Iran is Russia’s middle eastern foothold.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

The Soviet Union figured out how to eliminate homelessness in the 1930s. It’s been 100 years and capitalism hasn’t solved it and liberal thinkers treat it like a mystery. That probably means something about the actual solution but I can’t use my brain lest I accidentally escape capitalist realism

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

Manhandling a Senator. Using unnecessary force. Separating families. Defying court orders. Secretary Noem must come before the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer to this under oath.

If they’re going to charge municipal officials with assault for requesting to see a warrant, I don’t see the benefit of ensuring all anti-ICE actions are orderly or “peaceful.” You can be an elected official calmly invoking procedural norms, they don’t care.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.
