Sums it up pretty well. A GOVT for the rich & for corporations, NOT for the people.. The new gilded age is going to crush us all. Get money out of politics.

Good bit on and link to the 1960s animation, The Hangman. Oh so relevant...

He laughed a laugh as he looked at us:
“ . . . Did you think I’d gone to all this fuss
To hang one man? That’s a thing I do
To stretch the rope when the rope is new.”

Market manipulation at the highest level. They should all go to jail for this nonsense...
This guy made his fortune collapsing the British currency with George Soros in the early 90s. They're just playing chicken with your life savings in order to profit off it. They profit when they cause it to go down. They profit when they cause it to go up. It's a casino and you're a rube.

I'll never send my kids to, nor support an institution that kissed the ring of a fascist bully. History will surely look back and label the cowards that choose the purse over the people.

This thread sums it up well... (not this specific post, but the thread)
Gillibrand was shouting in the Dem senate meeting, condemning "no" faction. Phrase "this will not be a normal shutdown" reported widely, but according to TPM she also said:

“The VA will not be functioning ... the various NIH trials … will be shut down ... he will declare a state of emergency."

Why are people mad at Chuck Schumer? Is it the whole rolling over and playing dead like a dog while another dog takes a giant shit on your face thing?

Really interesting read about accountability, solving problems, and regulation processes and such. Applicable beyond air travel for sure. Shame these are the types of processes and systems we are at risk of losing right now...

So what can we actually do? What can us normal average voters and people actually be doing? Calling reps? Boycotts? Truly, what is the effective action list moving forward for people?

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

With all the current announcements & what I've learned from @99pi.bsky.social Power Broker series, I'm terrified & growing very concerned with the unchecked power an un-elected advisor/appointment/etc can have. These are people not chosen by the people, but can have insane amounts of power.

Am I the only who uses the Spotify friends feed? I freakin love it, love seeing what people have been listening to & finding new things. I keep it pinned, always brings me joy. The one service I'd actually like to see invest a bit more in their social features.

The new Apple SF Symbol animations are such a cool solution for supporting basic animations - using layers & groups in the SVG to create diff animations that can be used on all icons. Love this.

Yeah, but have you ever gotten a splinter out of a 5 yr olds foot while they scream hysterically at you and flail around? 💪😅
