I’m going to take a break from Bluesky (first one!) so I can be more present and not dread every waking moment. I’m marrying my dream girl in less than 3 months, that’s pretty cool! I’ll be back sometime soon. When? I don’t know. What the hell will have happened by then? I don’t know.

I can’t speak for NYC but whenever I’m on a turnpike, I love how fast it is, how nice the rest stops are, and the flawless road conditions. I don’t know what funds that? Must be all private donations from billionaires who love our Beautiful Commuters.
BREAKING: The Trump administration, cloaking itself in the mantle of concern for the "working class," has withdrawn federal approval for congestion pricing, cutting funding for billions of dollars in repairs to the NYC region's lifeblood transit system.

Of course it doesn't matter that congestion pricing was working, as this is part of the broader program of theatrically wrecking shit as part of the broader campaign against any new thing. But it was working incredibly well.

The balance in politics is Republicans acting mad when there's nothing to be mad about and Democrats acting calm when they should be screaming their heads off.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

I did something personally unthinkable and cheered for Canada on Saturday and will Thursday. I know for a fact many of the American players proudly support Trump. They support his bullying of Canada. They can play dumb all they want regarding the booing, but they know why, and fuck them.
Congratulations to Bill Guerin for doing the impossible and making this not fun anymore.

![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I strongly agree with Donald Trump,” said former Representative Steve Israel of New York, who headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Canada is largely left of center, and making it the 51st state means more Democrats”. STOP THIS.
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.

Watters: We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign from the left…It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it.. and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it.

A big problem with American politics is that a third generation hvac company owner is seen as more working class than a teacher’s aide
a lot of people genuinely think you have to do blue collar work to be considered part of the working class as opposed to like, being a wage-worker
"relies on taxpayer funding to sustain itself" meaning "fake" is a very Randian take for someone who claims to be a leftist!
