Just a reminder that this is not a distraction. One thing Trump has been consistent on is his desire for territorial expansion, and by force if necessary.

Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion?

TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.

Great 🧵 by @sethcotlar.bsky.social explaining how the phrase "apologize for being white" has been used by white supremacists for decades.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.

The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

FWIW, this is a list I created for myself. Before I left Xitter for good I copied the names of all the space-related accounts I followed. I've been adding new accounts as I find them. I'm sure there are a lot of accounts I've missed so I'm very much open to suggestions.
