Reposted by @DCRobert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 02/10/2026McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it. 22042651496

@DC @ijpe.bsky.social · 20/09/202615 yrs since the DADT repeal. As a retired in-the-ranks guy, it was massive. Years later, a young Soldier told me "Oh yeah, I think I've heard of that..." - progress. But history isn't linear. With current trans bans & cultural rollbacks, the fight to serve is far from over. #DADT #TransRights 062

They have committed no offense against him or anyone other than being Democrats. We are living in an extremely scary time in which one of the two major political parties is insane. 46744281

Reposted by @DCBill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Lots of coverage of Trump on renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England or New Hampshire or New Jersey or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's childish idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle. 781636342
