So it’s the enshittification of all local broadcast teams?

That certainly tracks.

False. They voted for all of it and they bear the responsibility for holding those they voted for accountable.

We must stop absolving those who voted for candidates who support Project 2025 from the blame they deserve for such a vote.

Ignorance /= Absolution

Probably time for Americans to be done with the GOP.

It's been 30 years in the making.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Emissions free commutes from now on.

Then he pivoted into running his own for profit AI company in order to compete, while suing OpenAI under the guise that they defrauded him.

MAGA’s embrace of RFK Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” is so funny because these same people CRUCIFIED Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that American kids should have access to healthy lunches in school.

How NEPA Will Tax Clean Energy | Institute for Progress The National Environmental Policy Act has become a barrier to environmental policy

The far right after we leave Twitter.

It's important. Stay the course. Believe in better.

Gonna try another old-Twitter-style thread, since the last one got a lot of engagement. This time about a topic some people have raised, but needs more attention: the likelihood that Trump's tariffs will become an engine of immense corruption 1/
