Haven’t been on here in a bit, but wanted to let you all know I launched a podcast about my experience with OCD. Hope you’ll give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Been thinking a lot lately about that episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie and Tom have to rebrand fluoride in the water as TDazzle in order to get the public to support it.
Might wanna buy any big-ticket items now, before prices jump.
Not exactly a glowing recommendation for tariffs.
Another example of why we need more mental health professionals to discuss Trump on media. Dr. Frank is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a renowned psychotherapist, but any shrink could tell you this. And yet the media still discusses Trump in terms of what is normal.
I hope we can all see the irony that they’re “protecting women” with this bathroom ban while refusing to disclose the details of Matt Gaetz’s … abuses against women.
Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.
At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
It’s objectively funny that the main narrative of Trump and Musk is that they’ve been treated unfairly and need revenge.
Never mind the fact they’re both billionaires who were born on third base.
“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys
The low-information voters who picked Trump based on inflation can not possibly have expected:
-A vaccine denier as HHS secretary
-An alleged pedophile as AG
-A Russia apologist as the director of national intelligence
-A TV host as Secretary of Defense

It’s far past time for Democrats to celebrate their wins more publicly. Be aggressive in championing workers’ rights and the gains the economy has made for working class people. Tip-toeing around it has failed miserably.
Democrats are far too shy on this issue. They worry that boasting about the economic numbers will alienate the people for whom the economy hasn’t been as favorable.
That’s a mistake.
Trump would be crowing every day on every platform about these numbers — and voters would reward him for it.
New poll out today shows a majority of Americans believe we’re in a recession.
What’s the best way to operate in an information environment that’s so fundamentally broken?
If Trump were president with these economic numbers, most Americans would recognize the economy is booming.
In today’s @nytimes.com, me on how we will likely need #SCOTUS to stand up to a second-term President Trump—and how the justices’ own behavior over the last four years will make it more difficult for them to do so:

elon very clearly thinks he is co-president
In 1947, the Attorney General was empowered to make an official list of "subversive organizations" with the intent of firing any federal workers who belonged or were "sympathetic" to them.
This is actually much worse, as it seeks to punish the organizations as well.
Has anyone else noticed that many Trump supporters react to facts with anger?
I believe it’s because those facts pierce their cognitive dissonance about him. They don’t like facts that challenge the notion of him he has crafted and they have accepted.
Bizarre to witness.
Imagine if Obama had announced he intended to fill all positions without Senate confirmation. Fox News would be in wall-to-wall coverage of it and the rest of the political media would follow suit.
Trump does it and they just shrug their shoulders.
That’s how democracies die.
I’m all for the Democrats embracing populism and ditching neoliberalism. I just want someone to explain how that works in a post-Citizens United environment. Dem populist hero Sherrod Brown was beaten by a Mercedes dealer in Ohio because he was swamped by crypto super pac cash.
Twitter has lost nearly one-fifth of its daily active user base in the U.S. and a whopping one-third in the UK. mashable.com/article/elon...
If anyone lives in Arizona and has time, there's a group that needs help curing ballots. This could mean the difference between gaining and losing the House
If you're in AZ and can spend today and/or Sunday curing ballots please email me: laura.jedeed@gmail.com
Yes, everything is terrible right now.
But did you know Aaron Rodgers lost 31-6 today and is statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in the league?
Always look for the silver linings.
I would argue your voice on there is important and we shouldn’t be abandoning right swing spaces.
Would love to be added!
