I'm a GenX cynic with decades of IT experience and even I am blown away by what's happened so far. I laughed off DOGE as a joke. Didn't foresee Elmo taking over the entire Executive IT division within days, especially the payments dept. The oligarchs have completely taken over the levers of power. 🧵

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

The live DJ feature on Tidal was REALLY cool though.

MB in NC 🇺🇸⚽💻♾️🇺🇦🐈 @mbinnc.bsky.social · 41m

I tried Tidal, but unless you used a phone or computer, it was useless. Couldn't play on most of the Internet audio devices we had. Spotify finds and can play on just about anything. Tidal had tons of trouble being Alexa's default music service. Just not a smooth experience. But may try it again.

People who don’t travel or acknowledge there is more to the world than the US have no idea how fast the US is becoming obsolete because of republicans.

She said you’re a PUSSY that’s why you hide your face

She said that’s why your kids hate you and your wife is (cheating)

She said you wanna hit me? I hit harder.

I died and was reborn just watching her.

When the tribunals start, the rebuttable presumption should be that *every* DHS special agent committed willful and flagrant civil rights violations, kidnapping, false arrest, and assault. As a baseline. Possession of a DHS badge is sufficient proof.

One awful thing about living in a police state is how anyone can turn informant.

Pissed off at an immigrant or even a citizen of color? Pick up a phone and make their lives hell, maybe forever.

Even if the call never gets made, even if you’d never, the threat hangs over every interaction.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

If you get so offended by being called a Nazi-lover that you seize a guy in a giraffe costume on public property for calling you a Nazi-lover... guess what? You're a Nazi.

They're so fucking weak. Covered from head to toe in combat gear, like they're patrolling Afghanistan, and they still feel threatened by a guy dressed in a costume singing hurty words. Pathetic. Hope he doesn't get roughed up.
