Trump: “If we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. And we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.”

Uh… like Russia isn’t 55 miles from Alaska?

I fear this latest incident will quickly be overtaken in the news cycle and it will be forgotten, and that it will then happen again and again, with nothing actually being done about it except outrage

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

starting to think that repeatedly sinking trillions into Silicon Valley's new favorite toy while tech companies spend millions to kill any meaningful regulation is actually not going to end well

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

AI is overhyped and going to collapse - BUT the grid is benefiting from the increased investment and we’re even getting new nuclear reactors built for the first time in a long time.

disappointing to see every big account on this website line up to stoke rage and fear and doom into everyone's hearts based on what is already been explained to be misleading.

as @threnody.bsky.social said, you will have plenty of other opportunities for despair and to criticize Newsom!
Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers.

People can and should still pressure him on those bills.

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!
