It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

“… the idea of an electoral mandate is something that’s designed to run roughshod on checks and balances, whether those be from the other branches of government or from the electorate, the media. Mandate claims often are invoked in a situation where presidents are experiencing some pushback …”
Crucial point from Julia Azari: If media is too credulous about Trump's claims of a mandate, he'll feel more emboldened to pursue authoritarian extremes. Media has a real responsibility to get this right. Don't blow it.

My favorite thing is to bait a conservative in Twitter, and then mute them before they respond. Seeeeeeething.

For many years, I just wanted to spend time with family on Thanksgiving. But the ever encroaching Black Friday time kept creeping further up

Not my thing

Now, they all want to hang out and talk conservative conspiracies, but I'd rather spend it outside with my dog.

What I love about this Officially Verified Bluesky Press Lists is it includes a real mix of people at major legacy media outlets, independent organizations, and freelancers.

We can promote a diverse media when billionaires don't control what you see.

Let's keep it growing!
