Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

In the coming days, you're going to hear about voting machines made by ES&S. The former name of ES&S? Diebold.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

If you're on Threads, and post, "Who's with me?", or use any form of the verb "terrify" or say, "We are fucked", expect an instablock with extreme prejudice.
I don't have time for your amateurish attempt at rage/doom engagement farming.

I'm going to start spending more time here.
I'm not sure what irritates me most about Threads:
The evil algorithms ✅️
The rage/doom/engagement farming ✅️
The UN of bots replying to you, trying to trigger you ✅️
With a setup like Threads, who needs Russian-style disinformation?

Getting locks changed at my new house in OC today.
The locksmith is a 70yo guy wearing a getup straight out of a National Finals Rodeo, and is changing my locks to Sarah McLaughlin playing on the boom box he brought.

I love California!

Say what you like about Prince Harry. But he's never trousered suitcases full of cash from dodgy Saudis, engaged in unspecified business dealings with Chinese spies, or handed £12m over to a woman he's never met.

Amazing how I block 15 or so accounts every day on Threads for rage/engagement farming, but all I do here is add both new follows and followers.
Imagine that.

I can't get too excited about the man in charge.

I'm much more interested in making sure the people who bankrolled this never have this much influence over American politics ever again.

Those are the ones you should focus your energy on.

I'm going to be optimistic. The days of Confederacy 2.0 are likely numbered, for two reasons:
1) Pitching neofeudalism to the white serf class in the mid 19th Century was probably a much easier sell than it is today.

I feel fortunate to be too old to either understand or be overinvested in social media.

It's really toxic at times.

So....how's Confederacy 2.0 working out for y'all so far?
Are we great yet?

Didn't Rod Serling once create a Twilight Zone episode about billionaires?
It was framed a different way, but the outcome is probably the same.

Welcome new followers! Can any of y'all tell me where you found me?

Comedian and actor Bill Burr:

I'm really interested what @davidhogg.bsky.social thinks of Jared Moskowitz's vote to censure Al Green today.
Parkland FL is in Moskowitz's CD.

My followers are generally intelligent people. If this DAMF can graduate law school and get elected to public office (Congress, WI-6), why can't you?
This is incredible to witness.

Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

@craigunger.bsky.social has all the receipts and has been keeping them since 2017.

None of this is a state secret.

What happened today was disturbing, yes.
Ukraine will be ok.
Give our allies credit. I'm sure they're working on some sort of solution to the problem.
It may be direct or indirect.
(This is the problem with SM, all complaints, no solutions.)
American ppl need to keep having their voices heard.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?
