Not prosecuting Nixon for Watergate led to Reagan and Iran-Contra. Not prosecuting Reagan for Iran-Contra led to GW Bush and the Iraq War lies. Not prosecuting GW Bush's Iraq War lies led to Trump and the Jan 6th Insurrection. Not prosecuting Trump for The Insurrection led to where the US is now.
Booked the uhaul. Talking to my ISP about moving. Planned my new bedroom layout. Parents coming to town to visit and help. Soon I'll be living with my partner. My life has changed so much. I'm happier. I'm healthier. I'm more authentically me than I've ever been. Out, poly, queer, and proud. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💜

“We’re asking people to not just show up on a Saturday, but actually flex the economic power that you have.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @maddow.bsky.social talk about the many ways you can join us on May Day, and why a nationwide day of economic disruption is how we prepare to protect the midterms.

Hell yes, totally the right way to spend the day. Thinking I'll mix in some Changeline, Ashnikko, plus I still gotta check Ayesha Erotica's latest album.
On this holy day, we gather to pay homage to the Mother Diva @chrissychlapecka.bsky.social 🙏💗 @thevivllainous.bsky.social @genevievemarie.bsky.social

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.
Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too. www.wired.com/story/us-tra...

Ok the color is boring, but the analysis lands pretty close. I do dislike how often logic is framed as being in opposition to emotions. For me, emotions are vital information for using in decisions - especially the emotions of people I care about. poomang.com/en/t/mycolor...

www.youtube.com/shorts/ORovH... So often in history the common people are used for conquest with promised spoils and wealth. It's a lie. Every time, even if they briefly get scraps, eventually common people starve for the hedonism of the rich. Among the conquerors, the common people starved too.
