My People! Who doesn’t need treats on the weekend? And during a snowstorm. And because it’s cold.
And just because.
And just because.
I do not respect people who clean out the bread and milk before a normal snowstorm BUT I do respect those who go to Trader Joe’s. If you’re gonna be stuck inside for a couple of days you need treats.

Africa’s Centres for Disease Control & Prevention has been fighting to stop RFKJ’s study in Guinea-Bissau that proposes withholding Hep B vax at birth for some babies to “see what happens”

I simply do not follow people who solely post about politics and I do not have this problem. What appears on your Bluesky feed is a choice.
some people are not going to like to hear this but if we do want esp more younger people to get off platforms controlled by right wing billionaires and onto alternative ones then we do need to figure out how to make a space that isn't the exclusively no fun all politics scold zone like bluesky

And yet, despite the very real—I'd say considerably realer—threats of violence and even death, ordinary citizens keep showing up to say "no" to Trump in very emphatic ways. A wild divergence between regular folks and the elites.

Something as simple as media covering the cognitive/health declines of Biden vs. Trump is explained by intimidation. Trump threats--even implicit ones--are taken seriously by other elites. He will actually follow through in punishing you.

Trump has way more power over other elites than you'd expect given his unpopularity. The possible explanations are
ideology (they agree with him)
bad information (they believe Trump is popular or libs/urbanites don't count)
intimidation (threat of institutional punishment or violence)

I capitalized Black in my recent book, but get this logic as well.
Interesting passage arguing for not capitalizing "black," from Kevin K Gates's book Uplifting the Race. I'm finding it reasonably compelling

One year into his second term, Trump has suffered the largest approval collapse of any modern president (except the one who resigned in disgrace). He is underwater on every major policy area.
