Hoping this website can maintain the illusion of being the Good Place until I: 1. Gain 1 million followers or 2. Become a megalomaniac centimillionaire and buy my own social network or 3. Find the fountain of youth or 4. All of the above.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It’ll be the air traffic controllers who end this. Just like they ended the last one. Flights are going to be canceled starting Friday. This is going to end real quick once US airspace starts to shut down.

I hope the takeaway from tonight is that most people really hate this shit and want it over with.
It would be nice if leadership from both parties, especially the leaders of the ostensible opposition party, to process that and act accordingly.

When Biden passes away, no Republican will ever credit his "strong liberal values," mostly because Republicans are consistent in stating that liberals have no values.
There's no evidence Dems speaking positively about Reps (esp .known bad actors) makes Republicans less radicalized against us.

Trump and his lackeys treat the Constitution of the United States like toilet paper. The only thing they respect or care about is their own dictatorial power, and wielding it in the most needlessly cruel ways imaginable
If you are a federal employee with a gun, Trump will find a way to pay you even if he has no money for that purpose.
If you depend on SNAP, he will use the shutdown as an excuse not to pay you, even though they have money specifically for that purpose.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

Forget about politics & policy, Americans have lots of trouble understanding basic demographic information about their own country. YouGov did a survey in 2022 asking Americans basic demographic questions like what % of the country is white, Hispanic, are transgender, etc. and the results are WILD.

It also ignores that leaving was a form of influence! Millions sent a clear message about the minimum standards of fairness and respect we believe are foundational for civic conversation. Their obsession with our departure makes clear it was effectively communicated; they just don't like it
i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.
