(1/3) As a child of immigrants, I support H-1B visas—but with caveats. As someone who runs a nonprofit training overlooked youth to excel in STEM, calling Americans "too retarded" for these jobs is... counterproductive. 😒 #H1Bvisa #h1bdebate #immigration #SiliconValley #MAGA #ElonMusk

Privatization works for goods like widgets, cereal, or shampoo, where competition improves quality/cost. But for essentials like healthcare, education, or housing, it prioritizes profit over people, deepening inequality, denying access, and fueling exploitation—all under the guise of “efficiency.”

People with homes are so rarely cold at night that I just don’t think homes are necessary anymore.

One of the dispiriting things to see as an adult is how many people will take money to pretend to misunderstand something simple or obvious.

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

If anyone with power had a backbone this would be true.
Indeed it is!

It’s surprising as a millennial how many people with power are so gutless. I used to think that the people who capitulated were weak fools. However, it seems fecklessness is the norm. Trump could have been stopped by many people with power but they were all too afraid. And now they are grooving.
whether you think it’s fascism or “competitive authoritarianism” or whatever, this era will be characterized by Trump using state power to lean on his private sector enemies, and most of them will capitulate.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.

ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.

@jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social do you have to fortitude to take seriously the comments on a recent video with a more measured follow-up taking the issue seriously. If you need a wonk reason, this probably related to how you misread the election. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHB...
