Trump lost an opportunity to crush Obama's record. Bet he didn't know that before he made changes.
It was just as cold for Obama's inauguration in 2009, fyi.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I adopted a kitten today, just to get distracted from politics. Between her and Bluesky, I'm feeling just a touch of joy again.

No!

NO! Trump Admin did this
• Trump negotiated with the Taliban
• Trump drew down forces to 2,500
• Trump ordered 5k Taliban released
• Trump agreed to May 1 exit
• Trump refused to brief Biden’s team on Afghanistan situation
• Trump shut down airbases crippling US to extract our assets.
THIS SEEMS SERIOUS…

🚨 NBC is reporting that Trump’s transition team is making a list of officers involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal for possible court-martial. The goal is to bring charges of treason.

Good news for once!

We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.

It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵

This phrase also doubles up as the way to introduce Lionel Richie to a Geordie.
