“The stories that we’ve heard are just heartbreaking, and it’s just unbelievable that somebody like that would receive a commutation,” Mr. Gana said. “This is not a case that should be political. This guy belongs in prison.”
"President Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims."

We all forget that Nixon resigned.
With all due respect, this is EXACTLY the wrong question. "How do we get through the next 3 years" implicitly takes out of consideration the idea that this gang could be removed from power before the term ends.
We should be asking *how* to remove them or pressure them to throw the worst ones out.

Exactly.
The question is how the hell we get through the next 3 years when the regime is hellbent on ethnic cleansing, electoral malfeasance, and selling the country out to whoever will enrich Trump and his cronies.

Multiple surveys are telling the same story: AI adoption has stalled. Census data shows ~11% of workers use AI, with rates falling at 250+ employee firms. Surveys show usage spiked then plateaued.
Meanwhile Big Tech is planning $5T in AI spend by 2030 that needs $650B/year in revenue vs ~$50B today

We talk of refusing unlawful orders, but really that's a very high bar. It's only for orders that are manifestly unlawful, something *obviously* illegal on the face of it. And the core example of that is refusing an order to wantonly murder noncombatants, which is exactly what they are doing.
Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

The reason we are in this mess is because most of MAGA are tools.
The “America First” crowd was right about foreigners taking american jobs, at least as far as the job of “right wing propagandist” is concerned. If I were conservative I might do a little soul searching about being so easily manipulated but I’m sure we’ll find out why it’s really the left’s fault

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
