Harvard providing free U.S. civics courses in response to the Trump administration's attacks shows how to be petty for the greater good.

PUT THIS ON BLAST:

Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

My kid has a bleeding disorder and we just received an email from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation that yesterday "nearly all staff within the CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics" will be fired, so fuck you, RFK Jr, and all the senators who approved his nomination.

Elon Musk is calling Mark Kelly a TRAITOR‼️‼️

Is he freaking serious??

If you are not actively trying to take Tesla down or calling your Senators everyday asking them to remove Musk, you need to get at it‼️

This South African is DESTROYING America.

Do not let him.❌

Behind the scenes: Journalists covering a fatal hit-and-run trial sit in a media room at the Manatee County Judicial Center on Tuesday. Cameras are not allowed in the courtroom so we can only shoot (stills and video) through the window in the background. We can hear the audio from the courtroom.

Moonlit photo shows demolition of Pier 550 on Golden Gate Point in Sarasota - to make way for more high rise condos along the bay. Disappointing to lose another piece of old Florida.

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform

Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.
The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

He wasn’t a fan. Until someone explained to him how he could make many billions from it by doing nothing and producing nothing of value for humanity. Now he’s a big fan.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
