Gosh Twitter’s free speech experiment is working out great

Michigan basketball is on full tilt and I love it

I wonder if anyone’s looked into my old church in SF (Reality SF) to see how many of its members are tied to this cultish technofascism @gilduran.com may know?

ah yes, the old "good cop, fascist" routine

Chuck Schumer is basically the captain of the Washington Generals just letting the Globetrotters travel and clown them all night

Soldiers are going to food banks while Trump rolls out a mortgage you can’t pay off until you’re 90 and the New York Times is still convinced that this whole socialism thing is a fad like the Labubu.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Hey how’s michelle Tandler doing this morning

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

My kid wanted me to read this. Should I be concerned?

What’s so annoying is that, instead of celebrating a woman who has been a tireless advocate for democratic ideals in Venezuela, we’ll be analyzing the rantings of a petulant man who is trying to destroy those ideals.

It is patently absurd that we laud tech leaders while they’re actively capitulating to Trump with no questions asked Pure cowardice

Another terrible night in this crime ridden hellhole of Washington, DC

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

I stopped paying attention to SF politics after the Chesa recall. I figured they would eventually get back to normalcy, somehow. But now I found out that they recalled ANOTHER elected official? What a goofy place.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Some news :) www.accion.org/news/accion-...

Me watching Bryce Underwood throw the football for the first time @edsbs.bsky.social

Oh great another thing SF tech bros will blame Chesa Boudin for

Trump is 5,040 hours late on his promise to end the Ukraine war. He’s 21,000% late.

The news out of DC is consistently awful but it’s still kind of amusing to see all these tough guy members of Congress lining up in front of the cameras to say things like, “I can’t step outside the Rayburn Building when I’m here because if I hear rap music I’ll shit myself.”

Guy: the hero we need Sandwich: the hero the fbi deserves

it cannot be overemphasized that many SF & CA Democratic politicians did everything they could to pour gasoline on this fire, including encouraging SCOTUS to criminalize unsheltered homelessness for the entire nation. as with Gaza & university crackdowns, they blazed Trump’s trail for him.

There are two groups of people completely out of touch with reality: tech leaders and democratic consultants

Emil Bove is my age but looks like he’s 60. Criming ages you.

I just saw someone refer to masked ICE agents as Meal Team 6 and can’t stop laughing

Congrats to Palantir and Coinbase for sponsoring a party even worse than the ones in San Francisco

Anyone who has followed Kristi Noem’s engagement with tribal communities in South Dakota would know she’d stoop this low. Let’s just hope someone has the gumption to indict her after she leaves DHS.

Yes. All of this.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

1/Latest in tariff omnishambles. This is not a deal. The US just blinked. The lesson for China: US escalation cannot be maintained. For the US: we will still see inflation and the chance of recession. For the world: the end of US credibility. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

!!!!!!!

Either I have a lot of fans named Julie or @bsky.app has a bot problem

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

@defector.com has a great series of interviews with federal employees who DOGE/Trump laid off. Discussing their path into federal employment, what their work means to them, and the importance of public service. defector.com/an-interview...

In case you’re wondering why an org full of tech workers and run by a tech founder wants to scrap the ability to disclose and assess discrete data, then you clearly haven’t followed the tech industry much lately, have you

That silly “it’s the worst time ever to be or raise a Real Man” post in defense of “boys simply MUST worship at the altar of the Tate brothers b/c feminism & the gays” has me thinking - not about that, obviously it’s nonsense. About what it would take to see a societal shift in masculinity.

Just a completely stupid set of decisions based off of a stupid vendetta against one of the world’s most experienced disease researchers. This country is being hung out to dry by morons.

Fyi you can report the Shiloh Hendrix fundraiser here: help.givesendgo.com/support/solu...

Someone needs to take the doge bros to Shenandoah to see what they’re attempting to destroy

I wish someone would have asked Palantir’s CEO about this at the Hill & Valley Forum

Ironically, this is Pierre Poilievre this morning.

I’m going to assume that david sacks wasn’t invited to the smart person chat?

It’s pretty weird living in a city where you don’t really have any desire to attend any of the tech parties in it.

I’m watching Bad Sisters right now and am reminded how the gaslighting that Trump and his ilk are putting us through is not power, it’s cowardice.

Sometimes I’m ashamed to be in the same industry as david sacks.

Another project or effort that a bunch of VCs adore that is actually a colossal failure

This is where @lizplank.bsky.social's call for democrats to go into "insufferable b**** mode" should be executed on in 2026 and beyond. Whatever partisan moves Trump makes, punch back with the same.

I was told this was would be over on January 20th

What's weird is that nearly every older South Dakotan I know (including my parents) carry around a lot of cash with no regard for safety or security. But $3,000 is bonkers.
