DHS is CBP, ICE, FEMA, TSA, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Secret Service, USCIS, CISA, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC)? Well shit, anyone leading all that needs... must be a super experienced rock star. Why are we messing around with... whatever this is.

I'm thinking that there is a flaw in the system if the person who appointed the corrupt official gets to just appoint another corrupt official.

Idiot in front of me attempts to merge onto the highway at 25 mph. Idiot behind me in a Subaru thinks they are driving a Lambo and tries to pass both of us on the merge. Idiots on the highway see all this and don't even slow down. Have I mentioned that I hate driving?

OMG now conservatives are pretending that they can tell when they are being lied to? If I were wrong as often as they have been, I'd give up entirely on even trying to interpret reality.

Okay, sorry but the use of a gasoline powered backpack leaf blower at a hotel pool area is just not acceptable when there are battery powered options available.

Ya know... that stuff from Venezuela actually does kill people... "Burning hydrocarbons, primarily from fossil fuels, causes millions of premature deaths annually, with estimates ranging from over 5 million to nearly 9 million people per year globally"

I'm hearing a lot about getting along with people with whom I disagree. I can of course do that. But what is the point? I don't want people to think that what they've done is okay.

Hey, @sciencevs.bsky.social Love the podcast. I just listened to the one on fertility rate though and thought you missed something pretty obvious. If the problem is that there are not enough young people to support old people when why not just change the funding formula? Tax the rich maybe?

Ya know what Texas? You should just prove to the world that you are not a bunch of racist assholes and vote all Republicans out of your government entirely. Seriously, just vote for good policy and you won't have any Republicans in your government or be sending any to DC.

This is all really starting to piss me off. The way you improve trade, manufacturing, jobs.. is not by being a bully. It is by investing directly into infrastructure and manufacturing. You know, like Biden was doing. Just lowering the cost of electricity nationwide would be huge!

I'm really sad about the end of EV incentives. It is going to force me back to an ICE vehicle. I really loved not going to a gas station for ten years. Oh well, maybe States can make up for it.

I've had enough. Time to stop wondering how TF we got here and start doing something about it. This is not okay. Sexism, racism, fascism, bigotry, classism... these things are not okay. These things are not America. We are better. We are progressive. We are human. We will do better!
