Me too!

I miss the feeling of hope and joy of the Harris campaign

Pete Hegseth does not support women in combat. He does support them being in the military. After all, those uniforms aren't gonna wash themselves.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government. A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

Oh it’s super clear now, Elon.

Hegseth’s mommy’s attempt to vindicate her lil boy was pathetic.

😳

pete hegseth doesn't want women to serve in combat roles yet he has his mother out here fighting his battles....

Good morning. Ask your mom to make some calls to Congress today on your behalf. There are still cabinet positions available.

Like @atrupar.com said - anything to get that sweet, sweet TV spot. Nancy Mace walking around with a bullhorn.

Agree!

Truth!

350 murders because of rightwing rhetoric from people like Libsoftiktok and our very own elected GOP goons. Absolutely SHAMEFUL

Not a drag queen.

My husband @joncooper-us.bsky.social and I were joined by our family’s two furry babies to light up our Christmas tree! 🎄 ♥️

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

I am the mother of three sons. I would sell my soul to the devil to save each of them. Especially if I recognized the devil.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

Accurate.

A fair amount of people who call themselves Christians seem to have forgotten who Christ was.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

@davewhamond.bsky.social

My feelings about the Hunter Biden pardon are complicated, but the idea that it gives Trump justification to pardon January 6th insurrectionists is a ridiculous, bad-faith take. He’s going to do whatever he wants and abuse his power to help himself and those loyal to him.

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

Wow

Agree

Trump has been bringing him up recently.

Exactly

I still love Kamala She was robbed...

Thank you, Bluesky!

Happy Thanksgiving Ya’ll!

😆

I know that I can’t get over the election results! It’s certainly not what I’d worked for. I hope we can get through the next few years!

Well, shit. It’s true, and it is depressing.

Bluesky execs could've given themselves 23 million followers each, but they're not psychopaths. Another reason we like it around here, yeah? @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com @rose.bsky.team
