Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

Back to my favorite place in the whole wide world, doing my favorite thing - hanging out withy brother and reading at a table in a Barnes & Noble bookstore, sipping a green tea frappuccino. I've spent literally decades doing this, and the draw of this activity has not faded.

automatic paid subscription from me to the first journalist who asks elon on the record “how is your role different from GAO and agencies’ inspectors general?”
the thing to note about the Elon “Department of Government Efficiency” thing is that the Government Accountability Office already exists and serves this basic function. the problem is that it’s largely serious and nonpartisan. they’re trying to build their own hyper-ideological version of it.

Honestly, we federal workers are probably next. They're going to pass the bills to revoke telework (or revoke locality pay if you telework), and it's going to be hell.

Sometimes the best we can do is outlast those that wish to destroy what we love. Hold hope close to your chest, for it is sometimes the only thing we can keep. Fight to survive, and live another day, so we can eventually outlive the folks that chose fear, ignorance, and hatred.

This couldn’t have happened without the media’s relentless sanewashing and both-sideism. Nobody as corrupt and deranged as Trump would have stood a chance if they’d done their jobs.

I have decided to post a thread to explain the current situation to BlueSky users outside of Brazil.
Yes, please. :) Anything would help. I'm ignorant. :)
You just arrived to Bluesky a few hours ago? Is that right?
Are you finding people you know? Or want to know?

Winced at 'always ensuring Israel's ability to defend itself' i.e. more bombs. And while I was happy to hear her mention Palestinian self-determination, how can that be reconciled with facilitating genocide?

Josh Shapiro is sounding far less like Obama today than I've seen in other video clips, but I can never unsee it and for that alone, I'll never stop feeling like it's an act.

Honestly, not sure why Bill Clinton is speaking on the third day. (also, given what he's done, it might have been ok to consider Hillary Clinton the only representative from that family)

A fabulous start to the DNC, and a wonderful celebration of Biden, his public service, and the administration's accomplishments.

Incredibly concerning, actually, if we needed more reasons to worry about DeSantis. He's pretty obviously trying to build a militia-style force that'll only obey him.
Nothing in this story makes me feel good about DeSantis as a possible commander-in-chief. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2023/07/14/veterans-quit-desantis-florida-state-guard-citing-militia-style-training/

This is absolutely evil. SAG-AFTRA/WAG absolutely deserve to go on strike. We're at an inflection point, and with streaming having decimated residuals/taken shows off the internet for the purpose of tax write-offs, something significant needs to change.
Holy fucking shit at the SAG press conference right now Fran Drescher said the AMPTP offered on AI concerns that background actors can get paid for one day’s work, get scanned, and their image recycled digitally without limits.

Have been just lurking for about two weeks here, but my main point of confusion at this time (aside from all the T&S fuckery which shows BSky team is not paying attention) is what's the purpose of the like button? There's no way I'm aware of to find a list of posts I've liked
