@support.bsky.team Hey team, why in the world did you take away the great trending topics header on the Discover feed? The new version - a short list buried down in the feed - is a poor substitute. Stop “improving” things that are already working just fine!

If you don’t approve of Donald Trump, then you don’t approve of his Republican enablers. Every Republican in the House and Senate votes with Donald Trump over 99% of the time. Show them how you feel about that with your vote in November!

I spoke with Mitch McConnell this morning, and he told me he had seen the metal face of the age and had been so stunned by it that when he thought into the future, all he could vision was a world from which everything he had counted important had been banished or had willingly fled.

So trump has been opting for the Russians “crazy Ivan” strategy. But where the Russians have deployed that as a deliberate ruse, trump is actually, certifiably crazy… now with the addition of increasing dementia.

Just as I remember “no drama” Obama. No manufactured crises, just competence, largely unnoticed, because preventing problems draws far less attention than creating them.

I’m just randomly putting this out there: If you need some respite from the chaos and want to reconnect with humanity — watch Midnight Diner! It’s a captivating series set in an all-night Tokyo diner, whose customers share simple food and their lives. Uplifting, often funny. On Netflix.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A minor incident in today’s shitstorm, but… Yesterday, ICE raided a Latino area in Morristown, NJ with which I’m quite familiar. This community has many small businesses, and is friendly, family oriented, and law abiding. A high school senior with a 4.2 GPA was among those detained. Disgusting.
