In Wisconsin, browns_brewers from Twitter. Just a retired dude wondering why the fuck so many in this country vote against their own interests.

My first POTUS vote was Jimmy Carter, he lost but I never gave up. Lifelong Democrat. 💙
A Morning Dove nested in a garden box on our deck right beside the back picture window, last year's fall pea and spinach crop I never cleaned out. Takes about a month from laying the egg to the squab leaving the next, normally they lay 2 but an only child here.

BREAKING -- Tesla's share price

$TSLA drops almost 6% today -- not because of a bad quarterly earnings report, but because everyone is expecting tomorrow's quarterly earnings report to be THAT BAD.

Meanwhile their CEO continues to work remotely on a dubious side project in DC.

She has been on a govt salary for years.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "If Pete Hegseth had even a sliver of self respect and sense of honor, he would have already put his resignation on the president's desk. And if he's not willing to do that, then the President of the United States has a moral, and in my view, legal obligation to fire him."

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here.

When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I'm talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent.

1/ Let me explain a few elements of Trump's plan: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...
With Orders, Investigations and Innuendo, Trump and G.O.P. Aim to Cripple the Left
The president and his allies in Congress are targeting the financial, digital and legal machinery that powers the Democratic Party and much of the progressive political world.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.
