Remember the Coalition of the willing and the epic failure of the second Iraq war? Everyone was debating whether it was prefabricated intelligence that "got us into war." It was a bunch of bumbling idiots at CIA who lied over America's insatiable need for oil. When journalists covering... /1

I was having lunch with my Dad's old friends. They brought up the topic of Measure 5.

Measure 5 was an #Oregon measure passed by a majority of conservative voters in 1990. It made #K-12 primarily dependent on state general revenues controlled by the legislature rather than on local school boards./1

Half of this NY Times article is okay... though when they begin the ninth paragraph with "The uncertainty caused by the market speculation over A.I. is to a large extent unavoidable" I take some issue with that.

It's too late and I really don't like looking back — but asking this does beg the question:

Is it any wonder that not many in the USA give a f*** about #OpenSource when companies like Qualcomm acquire smaller open source-supported companies like #Arduino and immediately make us open coders the fall guys by changing their ToS so that we can no longer hack Arduino's code? Fuck them. /1

What complete BS... These people literally and rhetorically make an art out of talking about nothing and call it progress.

All of the people involved, including Jared Kushner, are Donald Trump loyalists and coincidentally are also Putin sympathizers.

A child would say this is not fair

We are going backwards to go further as a society

People must understand as a whole, that the system is collectively conspiring in some ways against us to be absolutely unfair at a foundational level to both poor people and those without access nor real authority
November 23, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Is it really fair to the American public for DOJ lawyers and Congress to assert that we cannot get Trump out of the system?

Talk about a lack of fairness, accountability, and no impartiality!

Nobody will really talk about the total absence of fairness regarding how US Presidents hold on to power..

Hi to the few folks who are reading my #Zarnowski threads.

I just made a mistake here on BlueSky.

When deleting certain posts — if you delete in the middle of a thread then later click "View full thread" it does not show the rest. One has to click on the "Replies" area to view the remaining posts.

DK just who David A. Graham over at #TheAtlantic is, other than some Millennial with a history major and a bunch of unfounded criticism over other’s research into the completely stolen and fucked-up 2024 election.

FWIW, Adam #Zarnowski + others’ inputs about the stolen election are all real. /1

Musk is such a douche bag. Trump lost by more than 1.5%. There was no 49.8% in the 2024 elections. ES&S, Eaton, Peter Thiel, and Elmo / DOGE stole our election in the four swing states. Only The Atlantic covered this, and they called us conspiracy theorists.

Ok, what about those numbers—geniuses?
Musk’s #Grok was also programmed to answer that Trump’s “quiet, piggy” insult was really Trump saying “quiet, Peggy”.
The reporter’s name was not Peggy.

#ElonMusk wants his AI tool to become as much of a liar as Musk & Trump. Both malignant narcissists demand that reality must bend to their will.
Musk's Grokipedia is a cesspool of white supremacist and Neo Nazi garbage. Cornell researchers: xAI's Grokipedia cites neo-Nazi website Stormfront 42 times, Infowars 34 times, and white nationalist website VDare 107 times

People are discouraged because MAGA (and the few never-Trumpers) are 46-48% of the overall voting block.

ES&S, Peter Thiel, and #ElonMusk (pre-DOGE but the same ppl) stole the 2024 election to help the Orange Idiot using hacked modems & electrical lines in swing states

49.8% is what they got... /1

No, actually I think that the Orange Idiot (President Trump) would have to make do on his pledge that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave in NYC and get away with it.

48% of this country is craven and mad for voting for him.

The idiots claim it's 49.8% since ES&S stole it within the swing states.
WSJ) Six DEM members of Congress who have been in the military or intelligence community who made a video telling active/reserve troops that they should not obey an illegal order. Trump countered that the six should be hanged. Yes, he has gone too far; he is ill.

A few days ago I was shopping around for private healthcare plans in the state of #Oregon.

I found out that that #Aetna crap healthcare subsidiary, First Health PPO, offers lower-level or bronze plans that are essentially worthless to Oregon payers. /1

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I'm sort of "to the left" of MSW — however I agree 100% with her views here.

This is a betrayal. Senate Democrats are cloaking these events occurring now from public view.

Sen. Chuck Schumer is directly to blame for this senatorial intransigence. He must step down soon for the good of our country.
I'm so pissed. King, Shaheen, and Hassan put this together behind our backs. And Kaine, Cortez-Masto, Fetterman, Rosen, and Durbin went along with it.
