@billgates.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social If CNN goes up for sale during this Netflix/WB purchase it's time to step up nad buy it. Otherwise we will end up with another Faux News, right wing echo chamber.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

What if I told you that the attack on people dressing in drag is not new? In the 20th Century, people were arrested based on an informal "three article" rule. In celebration of #PrideMonth2025, let's talk!🌈

In the 1940s, '50s and '60s, police arrested LGBTQ people based on an informal "three-article" rule. The Stonewall Riots helped turn the tide against these arrests.

This piece from @britshmit.bsky.social is 🔥. Would all researchers, all of us, be as brave as she is. Our research is worth fighting for. And she is doing it. www.statnews.com/2025/05/12/r...

Investigators say the Minnesota woman was housing several dozen laptops that had software installed to allow the fake workers to control it remotely. Each had a sticky note with the fake worker’s identity and employer.

If The White House really wanted Americans to buy American made products they would WANT Amazon to display the cost of tariffs on each imported product. What better way to make sure we know at a glance where the product was made. It would help us seek out American made goods.

Tesla has many failings, but I love that they do no advertising. They rely on Elon to be the public face of the company. The BoD's do nothing to protect shareholders as they coddle the man-child and his tantrums. Now he is globally toxic and taking the company down while they sit and watch.

Musk is mad people are boycotting Tesla over his personal actions/words. He wants the employees to hold their stock and not sell it while the executives are selling theirs. Musk thinks the world should divorce his words and actions in government with Tesla and NOT forgo buying his products. 1/4

Actual question if someone knows. If DOGE wasn't authorized by Congress to exist, and Congress controls spending, how are any of the DOGE employees being paid?

What is the current Ruble to USD exchange rate today?

Ashli Babbitt was shot for endangering the lives of members of Congress. It wasn’t a peaceful bunch of grandmas. It was a violent insurrection.
