SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK:

“.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

The people of Pennsylvania had an amazing opportunity to elect an actual progressive in @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social but instead got hoodwinked by fake progressive John Fetterman. Don’t make the same mistake the next time

I don’t know how we survive the next four years. This is 100% a coup happening. Purging of the FBI. Elimination of multiple departments. Firing Inspectors General who did their jobs to investigate a criminal former president. He should have been impeached and convicted.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

Tariffs on US imports speckle the whole US economy with higher costs, lower efficiency, reduced output. And then of course the trading partners retaliate, which aggravates the waste and folly.

Point that needs to be stressed: every "product" is somebody else's input. A tariff on glass raises the price of windows. Costlier windows inflate the price of building a conference center. The more expensive conference center charges more to host meetings. So on forever.

Well that was certainly an interesting evening on which to give a speech to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce

These Trump Cabinet nominations. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people

Sports Bluesky!
