We will win

Elite signaling matters. Disney reversing tells NYTimes they can be more critical, which allows other elites to be more vocal in their opposition

Infant mortality in the USA

Disney is a massive economic and cultural actor. Reversing shows that the pressure and power is behind the anti-authoritarian coalition, not MAGA.

oh oh keep going into 2000!

Imagine throwing a fit over a 2% tax when you have billions of dollars.

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

Extreme income and wealth inequality undermined the foundation of democracy. To keep democracy, we must go much further in taxing extreme wealth.

The only way we're going to be able to have fair maps without the legislature undoing every popular initiative Utahns approve on the matter is by implementing proportional representation with a single state-wide district.

*Me walking into work tomorrow* Huh, where is everyone?

Because its my bday and the best day of the year (hello first day of autumn!) please drop a video or recording of one of you favorite songs in this thread Mine: U2's With or Without You - Paris 2015 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IWa...

So many dead canaries in the political and economic mines

The Utah courts ordered the legislature to draw new congressional maps because they're gerrymandered so of course the legislature proposed maps where 3 of 5 are gerrymandered which crack Salt Lake City le.utah.gov/committee/co...

I was wondering why my electricity bill was going up as I was using less AC

Amazing how many people cannot correctly answer: When did Biden become president?

Paging @jaketapper.bsky.social

*Googling if New York allows recall votes on Senators*

OpenAI acknowledges probabilities are indeed probabilities Users will continue to think AI is a demigod

Bro lol Disney and Hulu are DESPERATE desperate. New offer of $2.99 a month to try and get you not to cancel. It’s working.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

No, it shouldn't be just another Saturday. We demand our leaders to treat this like the abuse of power it is.

Imagine if Nixon had mailed the tapes to his DoJ but put the reporters' addresses instead

I have 5x as many followers on here and we've all seen plenty of evidence traffic to pages/links is far higher here than X or Threads

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Can't have bad news if the government stops providing information to be reported on

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

I can't remember the piece, but the author made the argument that the volatile path of democratization and backsliding should be actually thought as one path of democratic development

Last clause there is the most important

Well, that's a suboptimal start for Chelsea

Don't need to hear one more 'Bluesky is an echo chamber' post ever again. Meta is scraping parents IG 'back to school photos' of their daughters in schoolgirl uniforms and using them in ads to entice men to sign up for Threads. It's all pedos and perverts running the country. All of em.

we're going to win

I‘m concerned people may not get competitive authoritarianism

Top US prosecutor overseeing Letitia James case resigns after Trump threat www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

"Police refuse to answer calls to help stop assaults on ICE"

Congress can remove Trump whenever it wants to. Just sayin.

US Constitution Article III, section 3: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them”

“The BLS — charged with collecting critical data on employment, prices and more — did not explain the reasoning for the delay or when it might ultimately be released.”

if I were a member of the current Trump administration I would not be excited about the concept of “illegal pardons”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

It took less than a week to totally normalize & erase the unprecedented violation of central bank independence that Miran's presence on the FOMC represents. Not even mentioned at all in this article. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

So does that mean pollsters need to weight on weighted vests?

Oh yeah, touch that stove.

AP-NORC poll | 9/11-9/15 President Trump approval Disapprove 60% (+7) Approve 39% (-6) (shift since last poll) apnorc.org/projects/pes...

There is no reason to cooperate with a increasingly unpopular and authoritarian president.

As well all know, losing a lot of cheap labor makes things less expensive.

A reminder to uniformed officers "just following orders" is not a sufficient defense.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.
