The US Government Is Not a Startup
Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.
“It maps almost too neatly to his acquisition of Twitter in 2022: Get rid of most of the workforce. Install loyalists. Rip up safeguards. Remake in your own image… This is the way of the startup.” @wired.com

Death in the Desert
Migrants’ bodies pile up in New Mexico after Texas cracks down in the sprawling El Paso sector.
History and DATA have proven that when we close down all paths to “come the legal way,” it doesn’t stop refugees from coming. It means more people die. This is the harsh reality of U.S. prevention through deterrence policies 😢✝️

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

A Bluesky weeklong intensive, thanks to No Damn Meta week.
I like it here— a B to me. They could tweak some things to make it better: letting us add music to photos, like IG; and let us edit when we notice a type-0H!
And we all need to tell our friends to join— to help build critical mass etc

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.
It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
