There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

I have a #Win11 laptop, and a #Framework laptop running #Fedora. The Win11 is for gaming, but I haven't been doing a lot of PC gaming lately, so it sits idle for long periods. 95% of my computer usage has been in Fedora. /1
The rapaciousness of the #Billionaire class is getting me down. Full steam ahead on #AI and #CorporateMergers to unemploy thousands, trampling communities everywhere to build #DataCenters, outright stealing #Electricity and #Water, all with the complicity of the #Trump admin. We're fucked.
United & Delta donated $1M → Trump ended flight cancelation compensation rules. TurboTax parent donated $1M → Trump killed free tax filing. Toyota donated $1M → Trump canceled CFPB refund order for overcharged borrowers. It’s a pattern of corruption that costs you money.

Just read this... P&P is one of my favorite books: I probably read it once a year, maybe 18 months. Austen's writing is just sooo good, it's always fresh on the page. This play-by-play of a first-ever read is hysterical and wonderful. Just magnificent. So glad they shared the experience.

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.

The Trump regime said this week that the United States plans to “systematically disable” the International Criminal Court, an overt attack on a body that investigates some of the gravest crimes in the world. #ResistTrump

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

People don’t properly appreciate how much evil you can accomplish simply being pathetic and venal. #LindseyGraham is an example of tremendous evil cloaked by simpering civility. As the man said, I don’t wish anyone dead, but there are some obituaries I read with great interest. #Politics #GOP
Thread. We need to stop letting the worst people win simply because they have no shame in their pursuit of power.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 4w agoGraham Platner just posted a video claiming he "intends to withdraw" and that he's "suspending" his campaign. I think he's lying. I think this is strategy. It's Nixonian. Let me explain. (thread)
John Roberts wants Americans to see his Court as above politics. But the rulings tell the truth: ✅More power for presidents ✅More power for billionaires ✅More power for corporations ❌Less power for voters That’s the legacy they’re building in real time.
So now that #Bernie has called on #Platner to drop out, can we stop accusing #Democrats who wanted him to drop out of being tools of the establishment? Maybe folks just want to stop voting rapists into office? Can we all agree that that’s a worthy goal, the not electing of rapists? #Politics
So we’ve been taught over and over that when someone has something like, say, a Nazi tattoo, *that* is moment when it’s time to bail on them. When we learn that, that’s the time to cut bait. Everyone immediately saying, “It’s too late now, just gotta stick with them,” is wrong.
