My country is going sideways. The Prez is agitating cities.The USSC has further empowered ICE. The tariffs are starting to pressure families who are already $ stretched. Children are recovering from a brutal targeted shooting in a church;while other families grieve the loss of their child. 😢🫣 😞😟

Be careful what you wish for. Vance as prez, with his ‘tech bros’ in every corner of the Federal govt would not be better. We need the Trump Admin to run its course, even as ugly as it is. It will reveal to his supporters a great many things, which will help the country in the next prez election.

Gracious, while Blue Sky has been a good alternative to X, it is becoming such a loud & oftentimes polarizing platform that is too reactive. The reasonableness of social media always defaults to the poles. Human beings are apparently ill-suited to sensible perspectives. It seems ppl like to react.

Rubio has been ‘Trump-i-fied
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences?

RUBIO: That's not the aim

RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim

I don’t know if there has been anything as patriotic &fortifying to the soul as South Park,S27. I hope they know how much we appreciate the episodes which reflect what the country is feeling. It also helps to know we are in solidarity,against totalitarian cruelty: ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is not America

This summary, succinctly packaged in a short presentation-it’s disorienting. To see my country in this state, to clearly recognize how far the U.S. has shifted from a functioning democracy, well, it’s disorienting. And I will not be silent, nor blind, nor powerless. I am a citizen.

@karaswisher.bsky.social Would luv for you & Scott to do a show on: DeltaAirlines uses AI to present ticket prices after tracking a person’s online activity. Yes, everything we do online is tracked. We’ve known this for years. But w/AI, the exploitative aspects are exponential. It’s now too invasive

Are the problems of American society largely a result of Baby Boomers? I’ve heard younger generations say, ‘Yes’. There is resentment at the Boomers who would not adjust when economics realities changed. I’ve heard Boomers called the “Don’t touch it cuz it’s mine generation”.
Robert Reich, the former labor secretary and retired professor, has warned about rising inequality in America for decades. Now, he’s become a star online with an audience of millions, and he feels his message is more urgent than ever. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/m...
