Government shutdowns come with real consequences for Americans:

-Limited air traffic safety oversight
-Delayed Social Security applications
-Federal workers aren't paid
-SNAP funding could run out & more.

Meanwhile, Trump continues construction of the White House ballroom...

If we're at the place where the president is calling for a governor to be jailed for no good reason, our democracy is in real danger.

Anyone concerned about the balance of power between states and the federal government should speak out now against this authoritarian posturing.

Every time a new AI slop machine like Sora is released, know the next iteration will be better and worse, both in very bad ways.

It'll be "better" - more realistic, tougher to tell the real from the fake

It'll also be worse - more useful for scams, higher volume of slop, enshittifying the world

So help me understand. Due to a shortage of ag labor, created by the government, due to deportations of temporary worker status migrants, they have cut the pay of foreign ag workers, to offset the food waste happening, due to lack of labor? 🤔🤪

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 2h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

From every corner of the country, Dems showed up for work—traveling long days to do our jobs, to reopen the government, to save healthcare, to support our communities, and to save our democracy. Because, that is what we do. But, where are our GOP colleagues? Nowhere to be found.

Rep. Stansbury: Dems showed up to work. Republicans did not.

Since authoritarianism began in January, I’ve actually met the BEST people in the world on here. I’ve SEEN the best of humanity all over social media. These fascists ARE a minority! That’s why they have to steal elections & control news. The majority of Americans DETEST these Nazis. Yep.

THE ULTIMATE LIE OF A DEVIL IS TO CONVINCE YOU THAT THE VIOLENCE BEING DONE TO YOU IS YOUR FAULT FOR CALLING HIS CORRUPTION AND DEPRAVITY OUT.

ITS A CATCH 22......IF YOU ARE SILENT YOU LOOSE.

DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO SILENCE US AND HE CAN NOT DO IT UNLESS WE CONSENT WITH OUR COWARDICE AND SILENCE.
