It’s not “zero risk” when they amplify this both sides nonsense on platforms that reach millions of followers, some of whom live in states where their vote really matters.

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

Hold on, a cable knit AND a turtleneck? Are you a bear going into hibernation? (If so, I am jealous.)

It's not so much that these maps, like all maps, are flawed. It's more that they are granted a great deal of authority. People aren't reading maps--they're just listening to directions. They're basically turning off their own cognitive maps.

Plenty of people have gotten lost *because* of cell phone maps. Google "death by GPS."

...expectations, until very late in the school year. It's extremely difficult for a parent, especially at a grade level that low, to know what constitutes sufficient progress. And her mom wasn't in the least bit disengaged.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I can say from my experience with New York public schools that it is absolutely possible to be engaged and not understand expectations. A friend of my daughter's repeated first-grade because the school didn't get around to telling her mom (a single parent) that the kid was behind...(cont.)

I can’t believe we’re still doing this “don’t vote for Democrats” stuff.

020

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I don't think criticism is bad. What irritates me is people who take coy positions like "I don't want the Republican to win, but I want the Democrat to lose." It's a two-party system. Either you decide to enable fascism or you don't.

Biden's foreign policy position regarding Israel was the same as other presidents, going back decades.

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

If you really think Biden would've started a pointless war with Iran, I don't know what to tell you.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

At some point, "neoliberal" became a free-floating signifier to describe things and people progressives dislike.

020

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Yeah, good thing Trump won. Now there’s no more genocide. Biden was so cozy with Netanyahu that he might’ve started a war with Iran.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I know, and I never learn. I’m just fascinated by some of the things people latch onto, like this memo I haven’t thought about in ten years. And Biden actually did address some progressive concerns, but they never credit him.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I thought you said I’m not worth talking because I’m a “troll.”

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I think people blow this way out of proportion. The memo named Trump, Ted Cruz, and someone else who I forget. That wasn't unreasonable. If you want to blame her for a misstep, the campaign skipping Wisconsin was a much bigger blunder. Or blame James Comey.

140

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I don't think any reasonable person blames anyone for criticizing the Dems. Criticism is good. We're talking about people who encourage people not to vote for Dems.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The margins were extremely thin.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

What was arrogant about her campaign?

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Why are you blaming the wife of the guy who "did NAFTA"?

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I think you're trying to paraphrase Lincoln, but this analogy really doesn't work.

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

And yet you engage—repeatedly. Also, nobody’s asking you to apologize.

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

You’ve been pretty clear about what you think—I mean that as a compliment, btw—so I don’t know what your problem with the word position is. Calling someone else’s read on all this an act of self-soothing, let alone a “bizarre” one, is just unnecessarily insulting.

100

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Calling that a “bizarre form of self-soothing” is like saying your position is a bizarre form of self-loathing. And I say this as someone who’s more than willing to consider you’re right.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I don’t want or need you to react to anything. I’m not arguing with you. Just curious what you thought.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I found this perspective interesting. Cheryl Rofer is a retired chemist who worked at Los Alamos for 35 years.

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I don’t think anyone here is saying that.

010

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I think people are taking the wrong message from this. I hate these people, too, but the point is that smiles or laughter in an isolated moment reveals nothing. And a point I think should me emphasized is that it was 4 hours of listing names. How do people expect those there to comport themselves?

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Hey, can you interview Jessica Rabbit next?

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Congratulations on your $2 million windfall!

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Yeah, that was me. Still doing it.

010

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I'm in the same cohort. This rings true (phone pun not intended).

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Presidential pronouncements matter. Anything a President says is potentially world-altering. These sorts of deranged tweets should be covered as news.

000

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I am totally fine with Republicans being one vote down in the Senate.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I thought the shooter pled guilty and died before sentencing.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, the former president has been given a 30-year sentence.

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Why are you capitalizing pratt?

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

People are so hung up on this idea that McConnell is once again "getting away with something" that they can't (or won't) see how the current situation helps us.

120

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I agree with you. I just meant it’s all kind of moot. There’s no vacancy.

020

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

He would’ve almost certainly been impeached. And for what?

040

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I don’t know if he is or not. For now, I don’t really care. His absence helps us in the Senate.

120

Greg Milner @gregmilner.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Maybe. But he can’t fill a seat that isn’t vacant.
