Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

James Surowiecki: Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is. James Surowiecki: It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff. U.S.A. Discounted

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

Yayayayayay!!!!! I might be on here on night reveling in this much needed win. GO HOME ELON

Wisconsin Election Results, 2025 General | DDHQ Live election results, and analysis of the Wisconsin 2025 General elections.

Thank you for voting blue! We won this time!

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

Waiting for a county to finish up in WI before I have a take, but Democrats feel good right now.

Counties where 80%+ of vote is in:

Fond du Lac: Schimel +18 (was Trump +29)
La Crosse: Crawford +26 (was Harris +9)

On pins & needles waiting for results of Wisconsin election...please please please!!

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Early voting today in Wisconsin

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Youve never heard of @team18f.bsky.social but if you’ve ever used a govt website, you have them to thank for it running smoothly.

And they were all just fired.

I have a feeling this is not something that R voters and constituents can twist, so I recommend sharing their story far and wide!
18f.org

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Don’t give up, they are the minority! Don’t let them convince us otherwise

I have definitely been feeling resignation. Needed to hear this today!

Didn't realize you guys were on here, was going to give you a follow. Then saw your Gulf of America BS...and nah, no thanks.

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Good advice ⬇️

Feeling a bit hopeless today after the confirmation. Needing to see this encouragement from others

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being.

I am bec with AI as much as the next person, but people here need to realize that if you want Bluesky to get as big as you're hoping for, this is inevitable! You simply can't thrive as a large social media platform without some type of automated moderation.
