We did not choose this. It’s been thrust upon us.
It’s not about crime; it’s about power.

Snark ok. no🤖, porn.
Not an automatic follow-back, sorry.
Wait until you hear how things are going at the #WNBA.
People want to watch these players, but the #WNBA has left a HUUUGE divide develop with the players.
The "market" abhors a vacuum. Others are stepping in to fill it (ofc).
Millionaires & billionaires think they're it.
They're not.
Go #WNBPA!
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

You 401K is just a mirage.

Billions for billionaires, pardons for pedophiles & cronies.
For you and me?
Contempt.
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
November 15, 2025 at 1:33 PM
Stop covering up for the criminal pedophiles.

A Senate Majority Leader has one job; to keep his caucus together. They had coalesced - successfully - around the shutdown.
The positive results of Tuesday’s election SHOW this.
#Schumer failed at his job so must go.
A strong Democrat must replace him.
We have time to do this and then refocus.
LFG!

Massachusetts voters; call NOW. The up & down roll call vote MATTERS. Let our Senators & House Minority Whip KNOW not to flinch. NO unless healthcare subsidies are extended for a full year. Mine are
Minority Whip Clark (617) 354-0292
Senator Warren - (617) 565-3170
Senator Markey - (617) 565-8519
This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

With all apologies to Willie Shanks, who I’m sure is a wonderful human being, this is peak Bezos #WaPo and is incontrovertible proof that billionaires are a policy failure.
Willie Shanks has turned the local dump he manages into a community hub. Known for his humor and creativity, Shanks engages local residents with videos and events that transform his mundane job into a meaningful community role.
Column | The guy who runs the dump knows the secret to finding meaning at work
At a time when less than a third of American workers feel engaged in their jobs, we could all learn something from Willie Shanks.

America is so clearly at the point in its devolution where level of power an individual or organization holds varies directly with its corruption and moral weakness; viz. #NYTimes, the tech oligarchs but well-beyond those.
C’mon people; WE are all we got.
the Time coverage of the protest is so jarring on its own, and distinct from every other major outlet, that it must be an editorial decision. not one that they'll learn from, midday yesterday their headline for the protest was already a defensive "why we're focus on content not headcount"

Following - then loving - the #WNBA is a fantastic journey. I'm a roundball fan in all arenas and got caught up in the sheer electricity of Caitlin Clark's game her last 2 years in college. So I followed her to a deep dive into the W.
Now I LOVE the league and the players.
I'm a better sports fan.
Take the time to read this one, by @benpickman.bsky.social Young boys being interested is so important, not just for the league but for women in general. Respect for women in one arena carries over.
A new generation is embracing the WNBA, including young boys
