Silence favors the oppressor. An astronomy educated environment nerd. While riding this speck of dust through the cosmos, I aim to leave this place better than I found it. He/him

The good news is that in 10 years people will be able to look back and say, 'hey, next time don't elect someone with dementia'

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

So important to point this out

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This needs to reach more people. Megyn Kelly should have been fired within minutes in a just world.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

It would just take a small% of the CEO pay to keep these people employed. Next time companies do this they should be required to pay employees a basic income for life.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Yes. That phrase is meant to explain the impossible task. What a cruel joke that people think it means anything else

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
