It's not just @petebuttigieg.bsky.social's intelligence.
He doesn't talk down to people. Instead, he finds common ground and breaks issues down to their most basic components -- components that often Dems and Republicans agree on.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Your value as a human being is implicit in being human.
It is not based on your ability to earn the greedy more wealth. Your value is not based on your contribution to society. Your value is not how neurotypical or able bodied you are.
You are a human being, among human beings.

Elon Musk might be too conservative with his Chainsaw. If he instead fired ALL Federal workers — 100% of Government — (including the President, of course) he would render 3-million Americans unemployed but, looking on the bright side, he would save 4.3% of the Federal budget !

Why isn't the contract between the US and El Salvador public? Shouldn't we be able to read what is being done in our name with our tax dollars?

Can we please finally dispense with the hopelessly naive "He couldn't even run a CASINO!"?
Casinos cannot possibly lose money. His financing came from the Sheepshead Bay mob. And
the profits were almost all funneled right back to them and they went "bankrupt."
Bankruptcy was a FEATURE not a bug.

Ackman could lose 90% of his wealth and live a life that most people can't fathom. This is all about ego for these people. They voted to boost their numbers higher to service their ego. The only reason he's speaking up is because it's affecting his ego.
