I don't know why this lesson isn't sinking in but if Trump and his people have determined at some point that you are an enemy, it's finished. You cannot suck up to them, it doesn't work. They will laugh at you.

I possess an even older edition of @jasonkpargin.bsky.social's JDATE than thou. You might assume that I'm holding onto this in case it becomes valuable some day, but you would be wrong. I'm waiting for the economy to stabilize so I can afford to pay someone to remove this junk from my house.

Sometimes I drop in on the other site to check up on crazy people, like going to the zoo or something

Brianna Wu: Has my party’s leader, @SenSchumer
said jack shit about the hostages being released yet?

No? Still radio silence?

It’s like we have a secret plan to alienate Jewish Democrats, and it’s the one plan we can actually execute.

Ben Yellin: You should at least Google it first. He released a long statement and praised Trump and the Administration.

Brianna Wu: He hasn’t said anything on Twitter
