This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Literally...

THREAD: Today is a sad day for justice. Jack Smith and the DoJ are bound by the Constitution to dismiss the charges against Trump. It's unlikely that charges will be brought again in four years, but the DoJ doesn't want to close the door completely and has asked for dismissal without prejudice. 1/

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

Could not agree with this more. Do not give in to the malignant normality no matter how many others accept it.

A play in two acts. Well done, Bluesky.

American Companies Are Stocking Up to Get Ahead of Trump’s China Tariffs Businesses plan to stockpile, raise prices and accelerate the shift to manufacturing elsewhere.

In advance of Trump tariffs, U.S. businesses are already stocking up on imported goods. They also plan to raise prices and accelerate shift to manufacturing elsewhere www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

So true.

Not to ruin the wonderfully positive vibes on this site, but is anyone else here concerned that American society, politics, and culture have become morally and psychologically addled?

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter.

Sweet.

Excited to be a part of this better, kinder and more intelligent community, and truly substantive opinion and news platform. Love that most of my fav voices have joined the #Xodus2024. 💙💙💙
