Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Whoa, need to slow the cancel process with substack. I don't know what the best strategy is, but conceding substack to be a right wing fake media platform seems like a bad idea. I would rather take Elon's money and create more content there to keep the liberal content available and easy to find.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket The GOP Is Trying To Steal a North Carolina Supreme Court Seat

There is no more important story that needs your attention than the fact that the GOP is trying to steal a North Carolina Supreme Court seat.

Please watch, share, and take action.

Democracy Docket The leading progressive platform for information, analysis and opinion about voting rights, elections and democracy.

I remain as convinced today as I was five years ago that there is a need for an outlet that is fiercely independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. I am certain that Democracy Docket is uniquely situated to help fill that gap.

Check it out.

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ?

... because you have enough staff in case a regular employee leaves. So no need to cater to their higher salary demands when you can continue to operate with the H1B employees.

Not just that. It is more about cost control. Employees on H1B visas are also more cost controlled than green card or US citizen employees. It is harder for an H1B employee to change jobs, so you can pay them less salary and stock benefits. Then you can pay the US employees a little less too ...

Many, many years ago, when I drank at least 8 cups of coffee a day, I would get too tired to sleep. I would need another cup of coffee in order to sleep. I think maybe that was too much coffee. 🤣

The real reason the next president wants to put a huge tariff on goods from Mexico: This car company will soon be producing electric cars that compete favorably with $30k teslas that sell for only $8k. Even if the price doubles for the US market, it will still blow tesla out of market share.

This is disturbing and could eventually destroy the platform. Bsky should really reconsider the feature.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

Congratulations on being able to say that in public. It took me many years to say it to people I don't know. Due to the brainwashing.

I embarrassed my mother over a racist email thread she forwarded many years ago. It was totally worth it.

This is class warfare, waged from the billionaire class. The recession that comes under the next president is by design. Billionaires like inflation and recession. Inflation reduces the recurring costs of long term debt, while recession reduces current costs of staffing. The middle class suffers.

Same. But I do it anyway...

Good list of science and nature books. Most are nonfiction, but not all. Additional list from WRI in the comments.

Just say no. Do not obey the fascists.

Billionaires are bowing down.
Media figures are bending a knee.
Public figures want to accommodate.

It is up to us to form a new opposition.
We will not back down. We must not obey.

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

He makes it easier to identify people with opposite values to me, so I don't have to waste much time figuring out where they fit in my life.

Have you watched The Wire? That show had at least 3 of the top 5 ever TV seasons for me.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

There are so many amazing people on Bluesky that I’ve updated my Starter Pack to include even more of my favorites. This is a work in progress — I’ll continue to expand this pack over the coming days and weeks. 🦋
