Father of 3. Happily married. Democrat. Lover of history ( early modern to present), jazz, beer, and hockey. On Bluesky mainly as protest. Not a fan of social media. However, we may need to organize here. These are desperate times.

Hey I enjoyed your post. But I also thought Ta Nehesi Coates and Klein had a great exchange of ideas when Coates challenged Ezra about the headline. If you can still find it I highly recommend.

I’ve cried at every rally I’ve been to. Hardest was when someone read the poem at the bottom of Statue of Liberty. Or maybe when I compared the beauty and aspiration in the Gettysburg Address with orange turd boy. We were, once, a good if imperfect country.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

NY Times is far from perfect, but to equate with Fox…I respectfully disagree.

Just listened to long interview between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehesi Coates. In NY Times. If you can access I strongly recommend it. Klein trying to find a political way forward, albeit awkwardly. Coates being his normal top shelf self. Can’t recommend it enough.

I don’t see enough people protesting. I don’t see enough non-violent resistance. We need people willing to go to jail. A lot of them. I have not given up either. But it’s time for the type of resistance that requires major personal sacrifice.

The rule of law, and due process, are outdated concepts in fascist America. That was clear enough in Jan 2025 when the Jan 6 cop killers were pardoned. And reiterated as suspected criminals get blown up in the Caribbean. The king decides guilt and innocence. Full stop. Juries are superfluous.

Chilling. Why would Canadian govt need to say anything about the killing of a US citizen? I guess instead of Canada, maybe Brazil will be the country we seek asylum in. Sad.

Without Carney you are rolling with Poilievre? Is everyone who you disagree with a coward who would endorse torture? Not really encouraging dialog there. Hitler won election in 1933 because socialists and communists split their vote. I think there is a lesson in there for us if we can find it.

Friend, we do need urgent climate action. But Carney is in a very VERY tight spot. With USA no longer an ally, he must build up military. And major economic disruption caused by Trump means he has to make very tough decisions to keep things running. I would be proud to call Carney my PM. Cheers

Hey peeps this is an important point. Try not to get personal. There is an important moral reason to get off these platforms. Every click is power given to the oligarchs. However, it’s harder for some. Those who really can’t get out (business or other reasons) show us why its so critical to do so

I used to believe this. But not any more. If democracy is lost in a techno surveillance state, it might never come back. We can no longer assume the future will be better in any way. It’s up to us.

People, we should have all been off Facebook months ago. As soon as Trump was elected, they ( and others ) decided veracity would not help their bottom line. If you care about truth at all, stop using Facebook. Completely.

Iβ€˜ve been to 3 protests and I am very disturbed by how few young people are there. They ought to be terrified of the prospect of a techno surveillance state if rule of law and Democracy are removed. But you can’t make a viral TikTok or YouTube video on that subject I’m afraid.

Vote for Shawn Harris!!! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO IN 2026! Unless they are a pedophile, a convicted rapist, a failed business person, a convicted felon, a pathological liar, or a malignant narcissist.

Light and darkness don't mix. Darkness is a negative spiritual force and light is a positive spiritual force. Spiritual darkness refers to people being unable to see or recognize the evil, wicked and immoral things in this world: they are walking in spiritual darkness.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.
