The "fighters vs folders" taxonomy (as opposed to the "progressives vs moderates" taxonomy) for the @democraticparty.bsky.social is an interesting take. #BradLander did pretty well hitching his wagon to #Mamdani (and getting himself arrested).

3/ He was persistent, which I appreciate now more than ever. He was patient with me when I was unreasonable & I've learned so much from him. With the huge digital footprint he left, many of us will be learning from him for quite some time. We will miss him, and others will learn to miss him too.

2/ Jameson was a moderating force in many conversations over the decades, and was patient about getting unreasonable people to listen to reason. This seemed almost adorable when I first learned of him, given whose minds he was sometimes trying to change: lists.electorama.com/pipermail/el...

1/ Helen, I am so sorry for your loss. As we all know, Jameson was brilliant, and his death came much too soon. One big reason why I joined the Equal.Vote Coaltion: the opportunity to work with Jameson. I'll stick with it, but it'll be harder without him.

It Was an Ambush
Friday marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.
In fairness, The Atlantic got it right -- perhaps the exception that proves the rule...

Stocks rapidly cut steep earlier losses as Trump pauses Mexico tariffs, Dow down just 150 points: Live updates
President Donald Trump on Saturday slapped a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. He also placed a 10% levy on imports from China.
What's becoming clear is that this is Trump's negotiating tactic to get Mexico to build the wall that he promised Mexico would pay for in his first term.

I'm not privy to whether a U.S/Canadian wall is in the works, nor who is paying for it.

February Revolution - Wikipedia
You're probably right. #GenX didn't have to hide under the desks (that was a #Boomer thing), but I learned about the two Russian revolutions of 1917 in high school, and it was just taken as a given that we could be nuked by the Russians at any time.

Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned.
This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov.
We must keep fighting for women’s rights.

Fox News host throws ax, hits drummer
The Hegseth axe throwing incident (this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMrV... ) seems like the least of our worries regarding his appointment as Secretary of Defense. However, it is VERY telling of overconfidence and not knowing one's limitations. Dunning-Kruger anyone?

Part 1. Broadband Adoption in the United States
How Broadband is Spreading Through the Population Broadband growth in the United States in early 2006 has resumed its fast upward trajectory. As of March
There are many RealNetworks alums that are a little sore about this thread ("haters gonna hate!"). I was at RNWK for nine years (1996-2005). There was a lot we did wrong, but we had the best tech for dialup users. Broadband was adopted quickly, wasn't it?

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Nonpartisan organization seeking better elections. We advance voting reforms that make democracy more functional and representative.
Cross-partisan political reform group in Washington, uniting Republicans, Democrats, and independents to fix our broken system. We focus on money in politics, tech reform and accountability, and free and fair elections. www.issueone.org
When it comes to ballot measures, including democracy reforms, Missouri politicians have weaponized ballot language to subvert the will of the people.
This group is a place for supporters of that right to gather, discuss, plan, and socialize.
