@americanair.bsky.social how long does it take to get a bag delivered? The status has been,”out for delivery,” for about 18 hours now!

"Party of the working class."

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Not too long ago - maybe five years ago - my mom told me the story of how she came to learn she was pregnant with me. I'm reminded of the story every time Easter rolls around. Here's how it went down back in 1973. 1/

It's hard not to see what Elon Musk is doing as a soft coup. The world's richest dude is basically trying to take over the US government t.co/osw3wN4Taz

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart.

Don’t sell against the competition.

Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better

It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

A second week has now passed without this prestigious journal, which had been published every week uninterrupted since 1952, being released.
I wonder what other research and critical data were censored this week.

Trump Administration’s Halt of CDC’s Weekly Scientific Report Stalls Bird Flu Studies - KFF Health News An unprecedented freeze on the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report sparks new concerns about political meddling in science.

You know how the Trump admin blocked publication of the CDC's weekly morbidity and mortality report, which until now had been released every single week since 1952?
Turns out last week's report would have included 2 important new studies on bird flu transmission.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues

Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years:

- 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US)
- 20% decrease in wages
- Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

Ask yourself: why are these the things the American right has identified as the greatest threats to America’s future:

Black Lives Matter
Critical Race Theory
Diversity Equity and Inclusion
Immigration
Trans people AKA “gender ideology”
The 1619 Project/accurate racial history
Abortion
Unions
MeToo

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.

My grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy, risking everything to wipe Nazis off the face of the Earth. Now this administration brings Nazis into our nation’s capitol spitting on the sacrifices of everyone who fought for and bled for this country.

Democrats attending this mess today is its own tragedy. Blessings to those who refuse.

The Mortal Sin of Anthony Fauci Photo by Jody Rogac A reader outside of the US messaged me today and asked me to explain the Right’s incessant attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci. From his vantage point some thousands of miles away, he cou...

Anthony Fauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and he spoke truth that could actually save lives. That is why they despise him.

It Is MLK Day. Do Not Despair. This Year Especially, We Have Work To Do. With delicious anticipation, we imagined it.

My MLK day piece is up.

TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users, thanking Trump The company said in a statement that TikTok was coming back online in the U.S. after President-elect Donald Trump provided assurances to the company’s service providers.

BREAKING: TikTok is back up in the United States after an obvious kayfabe. They didn’t need to take it down. The did that on purpose so Trump could “restore” it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Love this: Grill Baby Grill. Let's go, journalism!

With TikTok, meta, corporate media, and Twitter controlled by Trump, I feel like we’re throwing sticks at a tank.

the "there, my initial thought" is a telltale elon musk-ism

If you think things are weird and bad already, wait till billionaires shift their interest from building spaceships to building private armies

Don’t you wish MAGA could see that…the most surefire way of elevating social and economic status is through EDUCATION? Republicans have demonized getting an education and are making it more costly and difficult to get one. Spread the word.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

The Far-Right Extremist Pronatalism of Elon Musk Could Destroy Humanity in Decades Musk’s mind is a haunted house of farcical ideas whose dangers he can’t understand or (worse) understands fine—from Nrx and Yarvinism to TESCREALism and techno-optimism. Pronatalism is a launch point.

It’s so bad. My friends...it’s so bad.

What these men—we know their names—have planned for us is a nightmare come to life. As ever, I have recorded its known contours with exhaustive sourcing.

The simple version is that Musk says he wants to save humanity, but he’s plunging us into utter darkness.

To be clear, this is the *Biden* White House we’re talking about and Jesus Hula-Hooping Christ this is the worst fucking thing they could do on the way out
