@emilypeck.bsky.social I am from a town of 400 people in rural Colorado & fyi — travel (near & far, cheap & expensive) literally changed me, gave me perspective as to what was possible & broadened my horizons. It made me more curious, more empathetic & more willing to take risks & welcome discomfort

My hot take no one asked for - Elon paid Trump $250MM in election support not to do anything with #DOGE other than gather unparalleled amounts of data & acquire more government contracts. That was the deal. Nothing more

I’m fucking sick of opinion politics. I’d really like less podcasters and more expertise. It’s really bad for society am I wrong?

I’m feeling like American culture has been completely usurped by creatures of tech bro + game theory + ADHD capitalists + Fox News. Our culture is one built on toxic individualism, a lack of emotional intelligence, inability to focus, inhumane dominance & multidimensional addictions. #Capitalism

This @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social interview was infuriating. I support her supporting her constituents and rural life, but she seems to have no space to see a world view outside her own. She seems brittle, and uncompromising… not a representative willing to represent all types of Americans.

Just watched @marcelias.bsky.social on @60minutes.bsky.social great articulate explanation how critical the rule of law is to society but especially to the corporations and the commerce system, otherwise we will be like China with a dictatorship @hcrichardson.bsky.social @tristansnell.bsky.social

@eringloriaryan.bsky.social thoughts on your thoughts about progressive women’s pubs - perhaps they fell off a cliff because toxic masculinity a la brosphere has made for a rather blah reality for women. All this chatter about boys & men falling behind/or not being ok, but for us lib gals it’s…

To think self indulgent antivax conspiracy theory (cough, also known as privilege) will be the death a wildly important organization (tho has its problems I know). Our country of individual liberties is killing itself due to over self indulgence.

Genuine question w/ this conversation circulating in professional punditry - y’all keep sayin trump is a great marketer… But beyond making personal wealth from his efforts, marketing is supposed to convert for business. And he’s a terrible businessman. Square this circle for me.

Forget that the deportation was illegal, or that habeas corpus rights were ignored. The U.S. government asserting it can't get the dude back from our new best buds in El Salvador is some ultra weak shit.

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

I’m not quite sure how anyone could say that what this administration is doing will equal a short, painful chapter economically. Every action taken as a whole seems to be be adding up to a clearly long term, if not permanent, negative impact economically for Americans. Just sayin

Gotta tell ya, I’ve listened to SO MANY @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social interviews for his book’s press junket in the past 10 days and his convo w/ @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social has been the most prescient. Not the same talking points & legit example of the failures of liberal governance that made me 🤯

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Hot take - the republicans are continuously using a previous administration as just cause for their major failings. This isn’t a sustainable strategy long term for their ineptitude & failings (ie signal security breaches) boomerang responsibility back on the party in charge of ALL 3 BRANCHES.

This article is a DRAG, but important read for any left leaning person in the USA. Generally thinking shit is not looking good, beyond the shit also being so stagnant for having zero effective strategy in place. Blargh to say the least.

I think what one of the more unsettling things is for me is how my generational group seemed unable to grasp how much of their lived existence is based on programs built for collective good… It’s obvious now - an inability to connect individual liberty w/ the social services one benefits from = NOW

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.
