- Calling my Senators and Representative about this, and the bribe plane. Using @5calls.org to do it.

- Excellent choice.
- “…Republicans added language to…Reconciliation bill…would block all…governments from regulating AI for 10 years…’no State…may enforce any law…regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems…’” Call your reps & senators: kill this ban.
- BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.
- Call the hotel and tell them how you feel about this.
- It was Liberty Hotel in Boston. Let’s let them own their behavior. Their phone number: 617-224-4000 (International callers add your code to dial internationally and the number 1, like this: +1-617-224-4000). General manager’s vm is full, but staff can answer. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

- TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

View full threadCorruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
- You disingenuous fop. We all know, as you do too, that doing something that aligns w/the goals of someone who gave you a gift minimally _appears_ to be bribery, & you are flat out lying to pretend otherwise. With all due respect, you lying liar, I am disgusted that you occupy any column inches.
- Is Congress gonna sign off on potus being given a plane that requires so much tax payer money to be used as Air Force One? Does Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 exist? “…no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present…”

- Really? Did they post about that?
- . @schakowsky.house.gov you represent me and I’m not ok with this, or his crypto bribes.

- We sure when they said, “the south shall rise again” they meant full fascist white supremacist take over? Not like: gonna get a decent alarm clock to get up on time? Or: judge will come back and we’ll all stand for justice? Or: ordering some yeast to make great bread? Can we find out? 😝😝😲

- It’s so unfair that people disliked looked his policy proposals and disliked him to the point of not casting votes for him because both would damage the people and country? Yeah…feel like I have heard that argument made in my country too (I’m in the U.S.).

- Is narrowing the largest tax increase in history into a baby tax the best messaging? I honestly don’t know.
- We may end up with a court decision that uses the phrase “they hell you do,” as the excessive himmler impersonator stephen miller says he wants the government to suspend habeus corpus, the right to challenge an unlawful detention in a court. #USpol
- Mother’s Day flower prices are up. Used car prices are increasing. Egg prices continue to rise. This is Trump’s economy.
- The arrest of a Mayor, assault of Congressional Representatives and state intent to suspend habeus corpus are likely high crimes and misdemeanors. Economy is not nothing, but the Constitution demands actions be taken, today.

- I love how the naming people were like “hey, they have arms, we’ll just call it Army.” And then they were like “one’s with boats, they have navs, so Navy” and then the plane people are like “we’ll be airy” and the naming people go, “we all have air punk, you’re the Air Force, now go sit down.” -me
- @pearlmania500.bsky.social I thought you might like to know this. Nice work on your video from Italy on the new Pope.
- “Pope Leo XIII was the last to use this name nearly 150 years ago after today's election of Leo XIV, and was the earliest-born person ever captured on film. He was born in 1810 and filmed in 1896.” - @rainmaker1973@threads.net #PopeLeoXIV #PopeLeoIII #pope #film #MotionPictures #history

- Yes please: “They must encourage Democratic representatives to speak louder than they do today. And they must convince their fellow Americans to restore the values that made their nation the freest, richest, and most powerful in the world.” #USpol
- Agreed: “Every defender of liberty must step up their fight. They must persuade those Republican congressmen who have believed all their lives in free trade, alliances, the world order, and the fight against totalitarian regimes, that Trump is dishonoring them.” #USpol

- Heartbreaking in its accuracy and the horrors it sums up: “Today, when cats eat mice, they claim the mice attacked them — and Trump believes them. Is he under kompromat, or simply an utter fool? What is certain is that he is the best Russian President in American history.” #USpol

- This is apt, and biting: “In a previous speech, I compared the new American administration to Nero’s court. It also looks like Caligula’s court — Caligula, who once appointed his horse as Consul. But at least his horse didn’t hurt anyone.” #USpol
