Is anybody able to offer advice on emigration?
I’ve been looking at Canada. I barely qualify to get across the border, should I be able to find a job (the market is proving to be a challenge).
Any countries particularly easier for US citizens to look toward?

I think my favorite part of BlueSky is that I almost RARELY post anything. When I do, I get almost no interaction. And yet I keep getting blocked by people.
Fun!

Trump & Leon have it out with each other on Thursday - start outing each other left and right.
Sunday shows start foaming at the mouth with everything coming out: election was bought off. Personal data sold to a drug addict. Etc.
And then on Saturday, Trump sends the N.G. into downtown LA

Listening to @msnbc.com on the radio this morning. They’re talking about the Trump adm ignoring court rulings and the contempt rulings ending up “so severe” like sanctions and fines.
If I did any of this, I would be in jail.
I hate it here.

Thanks to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social, I decided to renew my subscription to @theatlantic.com.
As a single teacher, it’s hard to justify spending too much money in too many subscriptions. If they keep up the good fight, it’ll be worth it.

@meidastouch.com @lincolnproject.us some people who understand the legal and political machinations of FOIA requests need to start flooding the zone for details of stuff that’s been on Signal, to amplify the fact that there are no federal records, as per legal code

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social - since everyone in the White House is saying that no classified information was in the chat, then there’s no objection to releasing the full, unredacted transcript.

I’ve never used Signal (or even downloaded it). Thinking about signing up so I can get daily national security briefings. Sounds fun!

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Today, I deactivated my account. The toxicity is just too much.
