heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-18... Thank you Professor. bomdia.substack.com/p/putins-emp...
Nero fiddles. Rome burns. And the GOP-led Congress are led by cowards like Mike "Lil" Johnson who are complicit in their silence and inaction. The pedo criminal elect should be impeached, indicted, imprisoned, and his corrupt ill-gotten gains should be returned to the U.S. Treasury.
Trump is once again focused today on the many difficult issues facing Americans.
@ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social When I’m not writing I’m working on new social technology in the public interest that cannot be captured. bomdia.substack.com/p/insatiable... The work continues to unfold at: civicsky.civ.works.
No Kings. No Courtiers. No Oligarchs.
Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.
Yes. Putting social back into social networking where personal data, likes, connections, and posts are NOT the product. youtu.be/ApEhEkRiDKc?... civicsky.civ.works

Musk is making a strong case to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX, claw back a majority of his hoarded wealth, and indicting him for election interference in the United States, Germany, and U.K.
Four days after Musk wrote, “Zelensky has gone too far.” @financialtimes.com #ukraine www.ft.com/content/3708...
Not just hardware. U.S.-based companies who have "obeyed in advance" to lawless Trump Admin. overreach for data. www.linkedin.com/pulse/canadi...
Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
I hope her father and the lawn is ok.
What a strange story. California woman finds a man, allegedly drunk, sleeping on her lawn early in the morning & sends her dad out to move him. The man wakes up & allegedly assaults the (elderly) dad, who shoots him Turns out the man is off-duty ICE agent David Gonzalez abc7.com/story/off-du...
Delighted to share time on the Sunny Ray program and talk about the CivicSky roadmap. www.youtube.com/live/cH_D0W_...
Stop the cruelty, lawlessness, corruption, and abuse. Make a plan to vote. Vote to elect or re-elect Members of Congress who will honor their Oath of Office, defend the rule of law, and embrace democracy and equality.
