Don’t shop at Home Depot, Target, or Amazon over the next week. During the busiest shopping period of the year, let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I listen to books at bedtime. Any book I manage to finish was so incredibly compelling I went back time and time again to figure out what I missed. These are a few that were compelling in 2024.
