@ezralevin.bsky.social - Love that you're reaching beyond the choir. Don't just do liberal media. Go on Rogan and others

I very much recommend Means of Control by @byrontau.bsky.social.

Well researched and eye opening. Renewed a sense of urgency in me regarding #privacy matters.

This is an example of why zero knowledge platforms are so important.

It's not just that we're now in a dictatorship. It's that we're in an incompetent one.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Hmmmm...Why does this sound familiar?

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · Feb 19

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

What's terrifying is not simply that Trump and the DOGEbags have access to all of our personal information. They have access to this for every judge, public official, and corporate executive.

It's the billionaires against the rest of us.

Seems to me Trump and Musk are Russian assets

Remember. It's the billionaires versus the rest of us.

The musky Republican assault on the CFPB is an attempt to pave the way for billionaires and billion dollar companies to continue to exploit all the rest of us.

The point of the stupid name change of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is to train obedience.

The Trump administration is barring press organizations from the briefing room if they persist in using the prior name.

Apple and Google have already fallen in line.

It's not men vs women, white vs black, north vs south, urban vs rural, religious vs atheist, straight vs gay, cis vs trans.

It's billionaires vs the rest of us.

shore bird

the darkness
covers my spirit
like oil on a
shore bird,
the leaking hulk
foundering in the
distance.

i flap furiously,
spraying
droplets of black,
grab a few inches of air
until
the weight of it all
wins out.

i settle into the
ruined sand,
exhausted,
waiting.

night sky

the darkest greens
and palest white
of the trees
struck upward
into the layered lightness
of the night sky.
i held her as we fell
into forever.

sitting next to you

sitting next to you
at the bar,
food and drink
set the scene but
nourish us not.
no. it’s a feast
for our hearts
as we feed each other
with laughter and
the confession
of things that
should not be safe
but are.
