I have the names of the president and the Nazi billionaire muted so I know I'm missing a whole bunch of schadenfreude here on Bluesky right now

Good read on AI affects on the workforce. I respect Amodei from Anthropic because he doesn't shy away from either the good or bad of AI. www.axios.com/2025/05/28/a...

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

I am an American. I will speak for those threatened, stand by those struck down, help those abandoned. When freedom is threatened I will light the signal lantern. I will rebuild what the destroyers break, bandage those they wound, and help the fallen to stand. BeBold, BeStrong, BeFree!

The best politics is local politics.
Huge thanks to Washington and Columbia Counties for the big turnout at yesterday’s town halls in Hillsboro and Scappoose. Oregonians are outraged about the Trump administration’s lawlessness. I appreciated each question about what it means and how we fight back.

Quote from Zeinab Badawi in An African History of Africa is timely. "I experienced a frisson of wonder that a country which today is synonymous with misrule, conflict and underdevelopment has a great history." I didn't think to witness in real time such decay, but we delete science data daily.

Hmmm... the UN needs $47B to deal with crisis around the world and Elon Musk wants $50B pay from Tesla... perhaps he could take a measly $3B for funding his mancave and give the rest to help those in need. Just an idea.
