Who files the suit? Some strange bedfellows, maybe the US Chamber of Commerce will join up with the Teamsters Union?

It's highly likely backroom bribes for preferential carveouts to companies and countries for tariff relief, paid off via crypto purchases of Trump meme coins, thus circumventing all evidence of the transactions of what is clearly public business. Change my mind.

Next, the suit would invoke the Administrative Procedures Act prohibition against "arbitrary and capricious" action by the government. I'm not sure where to begin, beyond my paygrade, but gee whiz, ya think? And then the Federal Records Act, which has just been dusted off re: SignalGate.

Is there a case for injunctive relief over the tariff debacle? All a judge needs is a lawsuit filed asking the court to identify a class (i.e. everyone everywhere) about to be irrevocably harmed.

If no one reads anymore no one reads Bluesky, X, FB or any other social platform. Yet tens of millions do. People definitely read, voraciously, every single day.

Is the Equal Rights Amendment the actual law of the land? Sounds like that’s plausible. If so throwing out equal opportunity rules and equity policy is moot. The ERA now governs. Take an AG suit to the 9th Circuit for temporary injunction and prompt
en banc review.
en banc review.

Years ago, John Gilmore, employee #5 of Sun Microsystems, one of the original libertarian tech bros famously observed that “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it”. I really hope Bluesky will be a good example of the old adage that information wants to be free.

And another thing I'm liking is Bluesky emerging as a powerful platform for independent journalism. This is huge. I stumbled across someone's starter pack of state and local reporters from all over the country. Followed all of them. This is only the beginning.

A few more reasons I'm liking Bluesky more these days. If I just want a bit of idle entertainment, rather than staring at cat vids, I now have a deep bench of Morris dancing vids from lovely eccentric places from all over the place.

Tonight I am watching a before-times concert with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett.

Feeling my way around, learning the ropes. Got my first cutsey bot-chik come on the other day, so I figured out how to flick off like a gnat. That didn't take long. I guess that'll be a thing.

So, here I am on Bluesky, as part of the great migration, a social network refugee perhaps. This is my first post, and its on Thanksgiving so have a great time out there to those who celebrate. A new dawn on its way and as is my style, I'll have more to say.
