Brutal, as it should be. Well done.

Trump believes that everyone— whether it’s Canada, Panama, the EU, NATO, or the plumber repairing his golden toilet, is ripping him off.

It’s pathological.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving.

That’s leadership.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.

I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Highly recommended daily dose of sanity!! ECM's broadcasts are packed with legal analysis, tips to spot misinformation, & recommendations for coping with the political insanity including actions you can take now, locally. I have been an avid listener for more than 6 years. Check it out on youtube.
Coming up live on the daily broadcast at 12 noon ET // 9 am PT, we're talking about managing panic in the gish gallop, what's happening at the Georgia Court of Appeals in the Trump case, Nancy's Mace's transphobic bathroom proposal, ongoing news about Gaetz, and way more

Re: DOGE. Improvements in efficiency are great but I think that misrepresents their goal. It sounds too benign. Should it instead be called Department of Deconstruction of the Administrative State or "DODAS"? Isn't that the goal: Slash & burn it all regardless of importance and efficiency?

Hi Bluesky! This is a new account just for politics and general stuff. I have had another account @hildiebird just for my art since 2023. It sat idle for almost a year. Here's to starting anew. I'm looking for camaraderie in the Resistance to the upcoming federal disaster.
