Thank you Cory Booker and how profound that you were sharing a story about John Lewis’ generosity of spirit and forgiveness as you were breaking Strom Thurmond’s record.

If you look at what’s happening to our country through the lens of trump (and musk) as a Russian asset, it becomes very clear what he’s doing and where he’s taking the country. Our mistake is trying to make sense of it in any other light.

Trump bankrupts businesses, Musk’s explode. How could anyone think these two should be anywhere near running the country?

Today has been a real measure of how Blue Sky can replace the bird. In the past, I would turn to Twitter to learn real time info on things like the LA fires. Now that site is just filled with bile (except Los Angeles Scanner). Blue Sky has stepped up to fill the void. Thanks to all here.

Trump’s administration is falling apart even before he takes office. This is the wake up call Rs need to pay attention to. He doesn’t have a mandate, he’s not all powerful. You can do something about it before it gets worse.

Trump DEA pick withdraws: Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration,” Chronister, the sheriff of Hillsborough County… “

Worth underscoring. The right has built a powerful communications apparatus driven by politics, emotion and entertainment that sustained unpopular ideas for decades, working them into the party’s agenda and ultimately state and federal law.
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

A great summary of the history of the Fed role and controversy in Ed. There’s little doubt this next administration will eliminate the depart. It’s unclear to me: will the funds and programs go away or be farmed to other depart and states?
