Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

Unprecedented corruption: "The effort was, in effect, an offer of access to the White House in exchange for an investment in one of Mr. Trump’s crypto ventures." Literally taking money himself. Not campaign donations. Just pocketing it.

In an event like an inauguration everyone is seated by rank. In this one the richest men in the world who run our information platforms were seated in front of the actual cabinet. That’s not some little curiosity - that’s the whole thing.

The parties have devolved to a state similar to the parliamentary parties in Europe...once the coalition (within the party) is in place, there will be no compromising or need to engage with the other party.

According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one. John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

Gottlieb worked for Trump the first time around. But he has always been sensible, and data driven. It was a very helpful and reassuring to hear from him throughout the COVID pandemic.

On an AA flight that landed at JFK waiting for a gate. Two littles were crying because of their ear pain on landing. After a couple minutes the flight attendant started singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star’, the entire plane joined in, the kids stopped crying, and this is the world I wanna live in.

Remember the NYT's obsessive coverage of the Clinton Foundation? There was never an iota of wrongdoing exposed, but the coverage made it *look* like there was. Meanwhile, foreign donors are sending millions directly to Trump, *after his election*, & NYT doesn't care. popular.info/p/trump-v-cl...

In terms of mobility, e-bikes are selling faster & having bigger effects on emissions than EVs, much less self-driving EVs. And yet they get vastly, vastly less attention. www.fastcompany.com/90994141/why...

Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car
E-bikes and self-driving cars both entered the year with momentum. Only one maintained it.

Jan. 6, 2021 was a tragic day of infamy for America, one of the saddest in our history. You know Trump and his election deniers will intensify their lie that it was patriotic, not a criminal attack by a violent crowd seeking the overturning of our election. We cannot let their lie replace the truth.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

It is worth regularly revisiting this exchange between @aoc.bsky.social and scientists working for Exxon, who in 1982 accurately predicted global warming between 1977 and 2003, contradicting the fossil fuel company's decades-long climate denial.

My friend’s @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social research finds all emerging authoritarians thru history have prioritized disrupting the rule of law, controlling intelligence, condemning journalists, & bringing to heel the state’s security apparatus. Her book is a fascinating historical study…and a warning.

During my time on Twitter/X, I provided thoughts on the wars in Ukraine & Israel. I stopped because of trolls/bots on those platforms I'll restart those comments soon. Given my time training & working with armies in both those countries, those comments may be welcomed here.
