After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

This is exactly the woke "cancel culture," anti-free speech that Republicans rail against. They are exactly who they hate.

By the way, the First Amendment allows people to say things that the GOP finds distasteful. . . but with this insane Supreme Court, who knows.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I don’t need a self driving car. I need a vehicle that runs between major areas and can transport large numbers of people at once to reduce environmental impact…wait it’s a train. I’m describing trains.

Just finished Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book “Careless People”
and feeling even more affirmed in my choice to leave Facebook. What a great book, and what a plague that company is and those people are. What a case for outlawing billionaires.
