Retired writer, editor, and software developer. Very liberal fan of Bernie Sanders. Proponent of letting people make their own choices rather than letting the government tell women to not have abortions and the families of trans kids to not have treatment.

I automatically block certain people who follow me: Accounts about spreading religion, accounts about pictures of pretty girls, accounts about sharing the winnings of a lottery, accounts about MLM and other scams (including "entrepreneur coaching"). Some of you folks are wasting your time.
Pay heed, friends. Protect what you can while you can.
AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it.
When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done.
Be warned.

Definitely. Going back to business as usual ain't gonna cut it. We have to clean house and fix our house so that we care for our people and can start earning the trust of the rest of the world, which we have pissed away under Traitor One.
David Frum on when Trump comes to an end, probably sooner than later. Worth a minute.

This. The Supremely Corrupt Court is the evil behind our other evils, from Citizens United on.
Trump doesn’t need an Enabling Act from a Reichstag to give him dictatorial powers like Hitler did
He’s got the Supreme Court

Today is #GivingTuesday. If you can spare a bit for a local charity, please do. If not, that's OK. Also, if you're in need, go see what a local charity can do for you. We have to help one another to make it through all this.

Very much this. The right can't survive without the thumbs of the billionaires on the scales.
The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Traitor One and his treasonweasels and (most importantly) his billionaire backers are determined to force Venezuela to pony up some kind of tribute. Maybe that’s more money for Traitor One’s crypto scams or cheap oil for the US billionaires, but I know it's about squeezing tribute out of Venezuela.

Absolutely correct. Now we have to defeat it.
And notice: 11 stars—the number of states in the Confederacy. “Americanism” is the new fascism, as predicted.

Every word of it.
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Accurate. Capitalism thrives on destruction. It's past time to find another way.
Defense stocks dropping because peace talks are progressing is the perfect summary of capitalism: good news for humanity is bad news for shareholders.

This, in a big way. Discovering more about how the universe works, at both the micro and the macro, has served us well.
Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

And much of the GOP with him.
In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

Elect a clown, get a circus. Elect a traitor, get treasonweasels running your government. We got both because half the nation consists of morons. Lucky us.
The Trump admin keeps making things worse as they try to lie their way out of the crisis around the so-called Ukraine “peace plan.” We break it all down, and dissect all the weekend’s news, in today’s bulletin. We’ve made this one 100% paywall free: www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

If you get a chance, watch The American Revolution, which just finished its initial run on @pbs.org. TV doesn't get better than that. All the episodes are available on the PBS app, which is free. Please try to get others to watch it, too. Those messages are still important today.

It turns out the newly elected Mayor of New York City is a skilled moron whisperer and it is sending MAGA into a full blown panic attack.
