@seattleweather.bsky.social Hey are you my old pals at KSeattleWeatherBlog?!

People need to stop saying Trump and Musk “can’t” do the illegal things they are doing. It implies that it’s going to be stopped.

The wording should focus on whether they will be allowed to do so. Whether it will be enforced.

Ultimately that’s the distinction, and it should be our focus.

The Media Is Missing the Story: Elon Musk Is Staging a Coup As the world's richest man seizes control of government agencies, mainstream outlets are treating it like standard political news

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

I wrote this back in October. I really wish I had been less accurate.

“DOGE” does not exist.

It is not a real department.

It has never been a real department.

Elon Musk has no legal authority to do anything and has zero congressional approval.

Anything to do with “DOGE” is ILLEGAL.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim—

Oh wait.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

I am worried our 53 days may have begun already.

Trump is already way underwater with independents.

I'm about to read this and I think you should too.

It is OK for us to acknowledge (briefly) that the scope of the evil overwhelming America right now is "awesome" in the oldest sense of that word—it produces a momentary, _paralyzing_ awe.

It's hard to know what to talk about or write about or fight back against first due to the size of the assault.

Meta to pay Trump $25 million settlement for shutting his accounts after Jan. 6 $22 million will go toward a fund for Trump's presidential library.

Part of me loathes Zuckerberg even more than Musk right now. (But only part of me.)

My husband was a Jerome friend, lovely seeing this!

Please remember that this administration is not “the government.” They are not governing. The government is not the bad guy. Trump and the oligarchs are the bad guys. They are dismantling “the government.”

YouTube video by Sandi Bachom (DOCUMENTARY) TRUE BELIEVERS AT THE INSURRECTION: From Charlottesville To The Capitol 12/13/23

I spent nine hours at the Capitol insurrection alone. I made a documentary. My film was used by the #January6thcommittee and in the second impeachment trial. Please watch it before it is erased from history.

Federal judge blocks Kroger’s $25 billion mega-merger with Albertsons | CNN Business A federal judge in Oregon blocked Kroger’s proposed $25 billion tie-up with Albertsons, ruling that the largest merger in US supermarket history would limit competition and harm consumers.

A federal judge just blocked Kroger's $24.6B acquisition of Albertsons.

Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations.

Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge.

This deal was a rotten egg.

Looks like I need an invite?

That link gives me troubles!

filter news toward one ideology

This seems wildly irresponsible for a browser

'what's wrong with your massive sheep that looks like a brain?'

I always pretend that sake doesn’t have alcohol in it and it’s actually a source of protein and I’m here to tell ya that’s not true

Everything you say and do in the coming days and months should be run through a filter of whether it’ll bring down Trump’s approval ratings.

Mastodon is a more healthy experience, but yeah I'm here too and into what you do so well!
