Yeah, I fucked up. I was trying to say "don't give up" but failed.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

No way was i trying to scare or guilt trip. I get Black Americans have lived with far worse, and the cumulative impact of that. I was trying say we all need to keep trying, but i screwed it up the way I wrote it.

Thank you for letting me know. I meant to be supportive. You are right that what I said came out badly.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

OK, OK. I said it poorly. I am just trying to support. Trying to say we all have to keep pulling together.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Sorry, really. I do not want to negate those feelings. I was trying (badly) to say we all have to keep at it.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Yes, I understand that, and have some sense of the racism and hate and stupidity and indifference. I was just trying to say that we can't give up.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

I hear you. I don't "expect". I was trying to say that all of us must keep trying.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Hearing you, getting the frustration. But we are all going to have to live with what comes out of the protests, the elections ahead, and whatever recovery we can manage from the current corruption, incompetence, and meanness. Remember "you can't just sink the other guy's end of the canoe"

How Speaker Mike Johnson can stop the House from functioning, in almost a coup. Is this the plan, or just a terrible blunder already underway? www.facebook.com/share/p/17Hx...

Trump was playing golf while our pilots were flying over Iran? He saw no need to be in a command center and ready for immediate communications. Incompetent or unserious - or both?

Yes, jam other news in the pipeline to block the big stuff from view.

Republicans should be extra worried about what Musk is doing with the access and data gathered by DOGE. What is being put together by Palantir, using all that? Is Musk speaking up because he knows he has collected great power, based on data? Or is he just taking too many drugs?

Yup, no evidence of DEI ever being in action there. Shameful.

They'll try this everywhere they can. Lower prices? Peace in Ukraine on day one? They're eating the cats - the anti-immigrant push? Nope, full-fledged autocratic, racist, greed-driven, white Christian Nationalist power grab.

Both frightening and absurd, these tariffs appear to have been created by AI (yhoo.it/3FVVu3e). Just as with the Musk/DOGE cuts in government staffing, the use of AI without thoughtful, informed assessment of the results leads to wrong outcomes (i.e. DISASTROUS). wapo.st/4iQI6ff

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

There are multiple sources saying all major AI's come up with the same stupid calculations for tariffs. In addition to this one, Krishnon Rohit found the same result and reported it on X. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-t...

Is there no law enforcement? Breaking and entering?

Can anyone point to the specific Project 2025 team training session in which that is said? This use of alternative communication paths to avoid accountability should be highlighted and widely publicized.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

This is a really important point. Private Hearings in the Senate are needed to find out how widely this is happening and why.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

3. Did Mike Waltz deliberately invite Jeffrey Goldberg because he knew these security breaches were happening AND really incompetent people were involved? Talking to Trump directly would have been futile. Was this an act of courage and honor?

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

2. They were using their personal smart phones, not government-issued secure devices. This poses the prospect that if even one is hacked, all these conversations are exposed. They should be questioned about how often they've used Signal versus the secure systems, in private Senate Hearings.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Three more factors to consider: 1. This group does not trust the established secure communications channels and deliberately selected Signal to avoid other in the US government following their discussion. This would suggest there has been a lot of use of Signal, not just this time.

Why are Republicans accusing people of being communists and at the same time supporting Trump being cozy with Putin?

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

A friend received notification her Social Security was cut by $600. There was no justification cited. She will contact her local US Congressperson. There is also the possibility it is a scam - lots of vulnerable folks will likely be scammed in this situation as well, such as to click a link.

So DEI is out, a bad thing. But Trump kills $400 million for Columbia University because Jewish students felt harrased? Wait, what?

This is fundamental to seeing the big picture. We did not honor our commitment in 2014.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

It was more than a treat for Putin. I believe the ambush was intended to also take our attention away from all the disastrous actions right here in the USA because of Musk and the onslaught of Project 2025 going full speed ahead.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Horrific. Trump is just a bully. This is not diplomacy, this should have been worked out in private, before the meeting. Terrible mis-reading of the strategic situation. Why was this set up this way? Did Trump want a chance to be "strong"? Or was this just another case of gross incompetence.

Seems as though Elon Musk is not as wise as an AI. We'll worth recognizing.

Greg Marks @gmarks100.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

I wonder who is doing the reading and evaluating. Such an utterly broken mode of running any organization, let alone the government of the USA. Certainly seems that the part of the oath about standing against "enemies within" is being ignored by a lot of people who took that oath.

She sees the game. One response is for Democrats to not help Republicans fund the government unless (1) Musk & crew are blocked from all government access and (2) That funding is short term (3 month) renewed only if Trump is obeying Court orders. Use GOP divisions. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

I'm putting the name of each Senator or Representative I call in my contact list so I can call again. Some have gotten a call every day for the last few days. Musk has been my main focus because a huge danger, and his actions are most likely to gain opposition from Members of Congress, both parties.
