Jill Lawrence (@jilldlawrence) is very good on how US #data policy declined from #Obama ("Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default") to #Trump. "Huge collections of scientific and statistical data are already gone, while enormous caches of personal data —your finances, health, income, and more— are in the hands of unknown, inexperienced people who have no business getting access to it, based on either laws or common sense."

Federal data used to be economic jet fuel. Now much…
The Bulwark#Trump is all over the place as usual. He has insulted #Biden, went on a long tangent about #Obama’s presidential library in Chicago, brought up California Governor #GavinNewsom repeatedly calling him “Newscum” — something he loves to do.
Trump refused to say how he knew the #Houthis were backing down. “They’ve said, ‘Please don’t bomb us anymore,’” then added that it didn’t “matter” where he heard the information but that it came from a “very good source.”
For the record, after #Obama won the second time, my #racist cousin (a #cop) asked me "did you vote for that n****r? Who the fuck would vote for that n****r?"
I replied, "well, I #voted for that fucking n****r twice."
He hasn't spoken to me since. No great loss.
Also, I miss Obama.
Sometimes you gotta go hard against these bastard racists.
Yo, @Jaden3 put in your journal. True story from #Oklahoma .
@BobC7000@mastodon.socialAOC and her friends created this clusterfvck. AOC btw also supported Nina Turners' run for Congress (Turner called the Biden and Trump "two bowls of shit").
I respect your efforts Scott but you're inviting another 2016 for 2028 by letting yourself get brainwashed by #berniebros and their racist agenda to make #Obama a footnote of history by replacing and rebranding ACA w/Public Option.
@iuculano@masto.aiAlthough June 14 is #Trump's birthday, let's make it #BarackObamaDay by posting pics of #Obama all over the internet and on every #SocialMedia platform. Are you in?
@Peter_Link@expressional.social‘Total fucking disgrace’: Ex-Obama officials slam Biden’s Gaza policies
Former senior #Obama administration officials criticise #Biden’s #Gaza policies on foreign policy podcast

Rhodes: “#Israel doesn’t want to end the war … if they were willing to end the war, they would get the hostages out. The idea that they need to continue to fight the war against #Hamas in Gaza - I’m sorry, there’s no security need to do it. You’re just talking about an already traumatised people, including a lot of injured people, who are being bombed in tents with no food and medicine.”
Vietor: “What a total fucking disgrace the Biden administration’s policy on Gaza was… Loyalty to #Netanyahu blinded him to the carnage, the total immorality of the policy, and US complicity in that policy.”

Former senior Obama administration officials criticise…
Middle East Eye#Kayleigh: Yeah. A.P. Fact check here's the claim. #Trump ran up the debt by more than any president in history… That's incorrect. But the total debt rose more under former president #Obama with Trump in second place.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: That’s incorrect. The debt incurred during the Trump era was very high. But in terms of raw dollars, the total debt rose more under former President Barack Obama, with Trump in second place though Obama held office for two terms, while Trump served one.

@RationalizedInsanity@mastodon.socialJust passing it on!
Also if #trump somehow find a way to make a third term legal somehow, I think we should have Obama be the Democrat nominee because he'd get owned.
@User47@vmst.ioObama making perfect sense as always. Sure do miss this guy. What a smart, reasoned leader who got things done. #Obama / jacked and edited from Meidas touch.
Just back in 2021 neoliberals were BEGGING Biden to stop officially approving of the Suadi's using starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen and he couldn't even do that.
So yea at this point, nah the US is a terrorist state and our tax dollars killed 68 Africans, just to stymie the Yemen economy.
Obama, Biden, Trump? When it comes to Yemen, they are all the same.
The US interest in Yemen has always involved a commitment to harm civilians.
This weeks incident is sadly typical US war story.
Biden back in 2020 originally said he'd end the war in Yemen, but instead he plunged us deeper into the conflict because the Houthi's opposed the genocide in Palestine.
Oh look, a 2021 Brookings article hoping for a Biden ceasefire that never came . . .

3/ Back in 2009, while watching #Obama's speech, I was summoned to New York to meet Roger Ailes, the creator of Fox News and kingmaker of presidents.
“You’re going to run this place,” he told me. I had access to the corridors of power, the resources to investigate anything, to uncover truth.
But truth wasn’t welcome. So two years later, I fled.
It is true President #Obama and world leaders did very little to oppose #Russia occupation of Crimea in 2014. That doesn’t mean we should recognize #Crimea as Russian territory now. Rewarding an invader just increases their appetite for more #aggression.
