I actually managed to find the funny in this one. Yeah, I know, under THESE conditions?! Remarkable. I’ll do a shot of Novichok to celebrate. Russian warship, go fuck yourself! Here’s my take: Are Trump, Musk & Johnson KGB Agents? Yeah, Probably. youtu.be/XvBGrQ8gKEg?...

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Cheering the demise of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is like applauding banning of air bags and seat belts, getting giddy over lead being put back in paint and gasoline. It's valuing your irrational hatred of regulations over humans' well being. It is a simple-minded, knee-jerk response.

I ran into the fabulous @mazzucatom.bsky.social yesterday, one of the world’s leading economists, & she gave this super clear explanation on why the Guardian management should be listening to its journalists. AND restructuring its board. Please watch! 1/
Oooher, that's quite an interesting take on this place. I'll be staying to see how it plays out.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Is Trump surrounding himself with such utter dregs in the vain hope that it might make him look a little less shitty. <update for Donny> it ain't working.
Jared Kushner’s father paid a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and then showed the video to his own sister for revenge & intimidation. He got caught. He admitted it. He got convicted. Trump pardoned him. And today he made him our next Ambassador to France.

We *must* prevent this from happening.
In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.
