Refugee from Twitter, now known as Musk’s cesspool platform X. Thank you Bluesky for accepting those seeking both calm & intelligent discourse. Doting human to Sydney, my beloved miniature schnauzer, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 7/3/22.
Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

We stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. in war and crisis. Trump repaid that loyalty with threats, tariffs & insults. That’s not leadership it’s betrayal! You don’t threaten your closest ally & expect respect. You earn isolation! We’re not your Punching Bag!! #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy
I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.
Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."
DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )
If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Steve Silberman@stevesilberman.bsky.social · 3y agoHappy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

There is no bailout that will solve this problem. It took decades to create the markets for beans and months to devastate the markets for beans. NY Times: China Bought $12.6 Billion in U.S. Soybeans Last Year. [52% of exports] Now, It’s $0.
"Exhibit A" in Tylenol's upcoming lawsuit against our irresponsible nitwit president.
Jeffries: "Trump announced he's imposing tariffs on prescription drugs which is gonna increase drug prices, in addition to healthcare price increases, the increases in grocery costs, the increases in housing costs, the increases in electricity bills. Trump promised to lower cost of living on day 1"
The escalator didn’t work. The TelePrompter didn’t work. Melania glared at him. <yawn> in other news … RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
