I love @jbpritzker.bsky.social so much!
History is written by the people who were brave enough to fight back against injustice and authoritarianism. Leading with bravery is not easy, but it’s necessary. Expect bravery of yourself and others.

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.
Elon Is Out, and We Should Take the Win
As Elon exits the government literally bruised and battered, there is plenty of reason to rejoice

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad.
Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals!
Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.
