I have had enough of benevolence. I am not here to feed your better angels. I am here to maximalize your potential for chaos and self-actualization through spite. IT'S TIME FOR OUR 2026 NEW YEARS RETRIBUTIONS! WHO/WHAT ARE WE TAKING VENGEANCE UPON IN THE COMING MONTHS?
I would like to personally thank Governor Greg Abbott for empowering California to rid ourselves of Darryl Issa.
"I could smell the onions and mustard"
Dave Jamieson@jamieson.bsky.social · 9mo agoBorder Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

I found my mind wandering through recent-ish history, when the Ukrainian protesters threw Viktor Yanukovych out of power and ransacked his presidential compound.

"The HHS took the meds from my hands" also scans beat for beat with a rather famous lyric from a Ramones song, and now I might need to write a full parody.

@muellershewrote.com I didn't hear Adam Klasfeld mention it, but IIRC Tim Mak is was a combat medic as well. Worth mentioning because he's not just an incredible journalist, but a veteran. And his on the ground coverage in Ukraine included "war dogs" at the end, where he'd post dog pics.
Start funding Democrats on the ground at the state and county level. If anyone can get through to their neighbors, it's the people already doing the work on the ground.
Chag #Pesach Sameach to my tribesfolk who join me in celebrating in the hopes for a future with a strong, *peaceful* Israel that can remain a welcoming home to all of us for generations to come. We're not there yet, but, L'Shana Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim.
How do tariffs work? Are we in a trade war? Is it possible to make iPhones in America without raising the costs? Harvard Business School professor Willy Shih joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the global supply chain. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDGk...
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
A liar's worst enemy: data. This is on the heels of Canada calling bullshit on his dealerships claiming to sell a literally impossible number of vehicles in order to claim $43m in rebates.

Hillary is still showing up. We can, too.
Hillary Rodham Clinton@hillaryclinton.bsky.social · last yr.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.
This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid. “White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented. www.latimes.com/california/s...
![Though U.S. attorneys are political appointees who often ally with the agenda of the current presidential administration, line prosecutors like Schleifer are normally considered career employees. But since taking office, the Trump administration has made a point to drive those seen as political enemies from all levels of the federal government.
"This is the most overtly political firing I've seen in my time at the Department of Justice," said Palmer, the former federal prosecutor. "I could absolutely see it having kind of a chilling effect. I also think current prosecutors are concerned about the ability to have free speech. An AUSA [assistant U.S. attorney] who I spoke to said they are concerned that the only people who will be allowed to stay are Republicans or very quiet Democrats."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wufsdxzvzx36d7wppganbvpw/bafkreidwoty6rsibzeinn72q7r3h76kazos766qlxl5bvhaiejvwwaid6m)
The devil's bargain of access journalism has come due.
Steve Hofstetter@stevehofstetter.bsky.social · last yr.The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.
It's a truly bizarre form of cognitive dissonance to be studying for an SEC exam when there's a non-zero chance the SEC is wiped out before my test date.
Everything Trump is doing right now is designed to ask the question "so who's going to stop me? You?" And unless the Supreme Court says "the courts are, and you're going to listen," we're going to have a bad situation where nobody likes the only answer left to us.
