I was fortunate enough to be in BC last week (as a tourist, but also on a bit of an apology tour on behalf of the sane people of the US), and I am thrilled that Canada pushed back on our toxic garbage. Thanks for welcoming us - - keep up the good work Canada! PFA: #CanadianElection

On the contrary to this ridiculous and ignorant clown, I know many on spectrum folks that are high earner/high taxpayers , as they are software engineers. FElon probably is on spectrum too, but he doesn't seem to pay much in taxes tho, hmmm. #AutismIsReal #RFKJrIsAMoron people.com/rfk-jr-claim...

I am old enough to remember the back half of the Reagan presidency, when there was concern about his mental state and access to the "red button" for nukes. Seems like the current situation with "Captain Chaos" 47 is very similar. #TrumpIsTrash #SaveTheUSA #ForgiveTheUSAPlease

When is the US Congress going to stop the cuck routine and perform their constitutionally mandated duty related to tariffs? I'm looking at you too mainstream democrats, do SOMETHING. They have the power. Use it. The people are watching.

This is a screenshot my college age (22) son just sent me. He attends a California State University, and this was posted for his Childhood Development class. This is fascism, and gives me definite 1984 vibes. Culture war bullshit. #fuckfascism #TrumpIsTrash

I am in Northern California (Bay Area media market) and we just saw a Department Of Homeland Security sponsored "commercial" starring Kristi Noem , who was basically telling people who are "here illegally" to get out, so that they might have a chance to come back legally. WTF?

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

I’m so embarrassed to be an American right now. I never thought I’d ever see any President of my country behave in such a way. I have fewer years in front of me than behind me. I don’t know if I’ll live to see the U.S. be what it once was. I’m beyond heartsick at what has become of us.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

A very succinct explanation from @mdg650hawk.bsky.social as to why we've seen a "Saturday Night Massacre" x3.5 (the resignations actually started on a Thursday, but..) . Maybe Bondi will take one for the team? youtu.be/Hf7fBIRI2S0?...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Latest round of "tariffs" seem to be more of a "concept of plan" thing in terms of what he actually signed, but the markets appear to believe they are real :(

Remember the right wing "strict constructionist" fad circa the tea party plague? Seems like, while being the direct descendants of that movement, MAGA is kind like "nah, fuck that , everything is open to my interpretation, including that pesky document the country is founded upon"

DOGE is using the same tactic OceanGate used to kill 5 people: hire young , bright and malleable engineers that will use their skills to do what they are told. I suspect we are approaching crush depth - wondering if the captain will (also)go down with the DOGE Titan submersible (guessing not)
