Better to keep one's mouth closed and risk looking like an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Bluesky is a hard place to get noticed enough to start a conversation. I've had better luck on Mastodon but I've been there much longer tbh.

Giving our kids MOCHAs? Gotcha. Saw a lot of open source data and best scientific practice goals here that I am pretty sure will be not at all what the Whitehouse really wants. Data will go private, results will serve the desires of the wealthy, and a large fraction of children will be worse off.

Listen to Alvin Lee here, and then listen again. Whenever I get down I put this on. Then I get off my ass and do something to fix my problem. Life changing stuff for these crazy times. 🇨🇦

It'll be like having a new US State full of American citizens who love and adore your generosity, what you did for them and their families. 2/2

To that might add: I can't even.

Can't even start at how wrong and funked up and hair brained and I'll considered and hateful and racist and inhumane and greedy and sucking up and autocratic this is. This is like extermination and then celebrating it. Evil. Horrible.

If enough GOP realize their constituents will toss them out in 2 years then they will consider standing up to their chief executive.

Loud enough letter writing, calls, protests, etc. will strike electoral fear in GOP hearts. A single Senator or governor can only do so much. A large protracted public outcry ended Vietnam, gave us Civil Rights and the EPA. It's time for that level of community outrage again.

Senator Merkley (D-OR) has been touring Oregon holding town halls. He says citizens must as a group loudly complain they are angry with misgovernance and demand action from their legislators, especially Republicans in purple states may be swayed. Organize: Indivisible and MoveOn.
