I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.
What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

It’s kind of important that Christopher Wray nut-up, make Trump fire him, and then go scorched earth on his way out.
To do anything less would be a betrayal of the men and women of the FBI. Not to mention America.

Statement from the FBI in the aftermath of President-elect Trump announcing that he intends to nominate Kash Patel as Director of the FBI, which means he will be firing Chris Wray or Wray will resign:
On the day Trump is sworn in, Wray will have two years and six months left on his 10-year term.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

For me, the reason that blue sky is winning out on threads is that the latter is too intertwined with Facebook, family and colleagues. The place this energy-trading for-a-living North Dakota girl goes to vent about political news NEEDS to be separate from that anymore.
