You know, with his love of all things golden, you’d think 47 would at least be aware of The Golden Rule!

What are you gonna do, deport us? We’ve been dealing with ICE for centuries.

In other words, he fully intends to be President for Life and for the White House to be his retirement home. Thanks for nothing to the people who couldn’t take an hour out of their lives to vote!…

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel sued to overturn the #AffordableCareAct and take away healthcare from Wisconsin families. If elected to the WI Supreme Court, we can't trust him to side with Wisconsinites over wealthy insurance and drug companies. Vote for Susan Crawford.

Oy! Felon47 is “authorizing my Administration to immediately begin producing Energy with BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN COAL.” As if things weren’t already bad enough!

This woman needs to be fired immediately!

Seems important!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

A full audit of DNC consulting contracts will begin on Day One if I’m chair. If you donate to Democrats, you should trust that your money will be spent in a way that reflects our values and path to victory. Let’s inspire millions to chip in by fighting to win and ending grift.

So true.

12 years. RIP my darling boy.

I know he has no conscience and probably no soul, but do you think sometimes, lying all alone late at night, he might think to himself, “I can’t believe I got away with that?”

(Moving my memorials over here from X) 11 years, 11 months. RIP my darling boy.

Just received 3 emails from Vimeo On Demand stating that “The Internet’s Own Boy—The Story of Aaron Swartz” Is being removed from Vimeo On Demand. I would like to assume that it will still be available for free on YouTube, but don’t know for sure.

Yes, he can! (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/o...

@noahkahan made the @nytimes.com! (In an oblique way): (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

If you voted for a billionaire you’re not on the side of the working class you dumb fuck.

Excited for @benwikler.bsky.social !!! www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/u...

Jen Rubin (WaPo) makes a pitch for WI Dem Party chair Ben Wikler as DNC chair. “I know of no other contender who has mastered online communication and organizing, and who can enlist influencers to reach apolitical voters, all critical tasks among the many necessary to innovate a moribund party.”

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners. I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette. Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_V2...

This entire new administration is a joke…and not a good one.

What makes Bluesky better : the timeline does NOT Auto-refresh!

Matt Gaetz as AG!? IS THIS A JOKE?!

I'll never forget Carl Malamud's powerful eulogy of Aaron. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VllJ...

RIP Aaron Swartz who as programmer helped develop the web feed format RSS; the technical architecture for Creative Commons; and the Markdown format. "When he tried to liberate data from an academic website, US authorities responded with $1m fine and 35 years in jail. Then he took his own life."

Whenever I download a free article from JSTOR, I think about all the people who tried to throw Aaron Swartz into prison for decades for trying to make JSTOR content free.

If you haven't learned about the life of Aaron Swartz, *what are you doing?* Everybody needs to know this story

To name just a few: Cory Doctorow CGP Grey Nick Hanauer Jaron Lanier Thomas Piketty Dan Price Aaron Swartz Vivek Wadhwa

Aaron Swartz would not be pleased.

Ok this is so fucked up - every article about Reddit's IPO lists Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman as the co-founders, completely ignoring the fact that Aaron Swartz was a co-founder. NPR has no excuse here either: www.npr.org/sections/the...

“JSTOR is now available free of charge in 1,000 correctional facilities worldwide, benefiting more than 500,000 incarcerated individuals.” Holy shit given that a lot of prisons refuse to let prisoners access a lot of books/materials, this is fucking amazing about.jstor.org/news/jstor-a...

remember when aaron swartz was convicted of 35 yrs in prison and $1M in fines for downloading JSTOR articles under a guest MIT email and the refusal on behalf of the prosecution to consider any type of agreement caused him to take his own life bc i do. all this information should be free.
