Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Things are fine.

Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith’s Office Under Grand Jury Investigation A Marion County grand jury is examining claims of misconduct within Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith’s office, including alleged ghost employment and the sharing of an AI-generated explicit video.

Since you mentioned this person in your article, thought I'd catch you up on some Hoosier-land news. wibc.com/766414/lt-go...

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

Trump will not rest until every show on the air is afraid to say anything bad about him.

He craves State-Run Media. All Trump, All the Time.

100% approval ratings. Greatest President of All Time. All Hail our Benevolent Dear Leader.

In other words. North Korea shit.

They are deporting people with green cards, because they are on the pathway to citizenship. Minorities and highly educated people are more likely to vote for Democrats. It's not a mistake, it's the plan.

Good morning rebels...

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it

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.

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

Heart-wrenching reporting on the dehumanization of homeless people in the U.S. (pre-Trump). Great original reporting again by @propublica.org

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

I have so much respect for the Bishop 💙

It’s Day One--Of a New Phase of the Fight to Save Our Democracy Welcome to the Political Opposition

An important and smart take by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social about the importance of how to handle Day One and the days to come -- including building an opposition. Worth your time to read and consider. lucid.substack.com/p/its-day-on...

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

BOLD PREDICTION!

Trump second term to be nonstop total shit show train wreck of epic proportions! His supporters to deny reality till the bitter end and after! Spoilers! Many people will die!

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

I’m so tired of him as well.

Way back in 45's 1st term, we started Swap Meet Justice Citizenship & Social Justice Fair with others, like the 805 Immigrant Coalition, to help our immigrant community. (Swapmeetjustice.org)

The Inauguration is going to be interesting. Who will stand where the incoming VP stands? vance? musk? Will they be together pushing and shoving for the rightful spot? Where is vance anyways?

not as funny as I'd hope because it's our reality

Finally read "Drive". Excellent and I admire your honesty and vulnerability.

It's too late now, but we should have told the right-wing trolls we were going to Spoutible.
