In less than one year he’s destroyed the Constitution, the economy, the CDC, the FDA, USAID, PBS, the Education Dept, he’s put a major U.S. city under military occupation, and he’s about to invade Europe.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social so this guy is where you get your political advice from?
per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”
The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries.

She's right you know
The third possibility is the man at the top is batshit crazy and the people around him mostly go along because they just want power,
Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.
Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

The GOP reps that criticize trump (Massie, MTG except she quits in 2 days) for his illegal wars need to vote to impeach trump, they can't accept these crimes as a price for all the stuff they like.

After reading about this guy, I still wonder which is most apt:
-Barroom savant, telling you (before you can escape) how things "really" are;
-College roommate who has read Atlas Shrugged over the summer;
-"Stupid person's idea of a smart person."
But it's at least one of those.

I was there, in the 90s, the boomers were giving out the participation trophies to their kids. I was the only boomer I knew complaining about that. I hated it.
Boomers: It just sucks so much that everyone gets participation trophies now, you used to have to show real merit to get an award

It's entertaining for someone who is not in journalism/media/whatever to watch journalists wringing their hands over two of their own doing on an individual scale what their employers have been doing on a much larger scale for some time now.

Mamdani should tell trump privately that he wants to provide a subsidy for businesses by making public transportation free, it helps them get employees who will work for less because they live farther away, and it reduces traffic for wealthy people because there will be less cars.

a brand that wants to be interesting, & attention is the only currency that matters - that sounds like the NYT, WaPo, CNN, most of the national media.
"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends."

I've seen ads for @ezraklein.bsky.social talk in #SantaBarbara in a couple weeks, he's going to talk about "why we're divided". We're divided because one side lets a nazi dictator do whatever he wants. There is no reason to hear him say anything else.

I wonder if any people in the US are willing to boycott US businesses that make money in Saudi Arabia.
ICE under trump has killed people, illegally imprisoned them for months, & treated them inhumanely, but I don't see anyone boycotting the corps that fund trump, let alone do business in the US.

also, screenshotting a bluesky post wastes your time and everyone who wants to see the post. I get why people don't want to link to x, but we're already here.
Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.
