I think everyone should call and report Donald, Melanie, and every non-Native American asshole in the administration.

Well, Bluesky is not just Bluesky.social. They have a platform that can be enhanced. If you're just talking about bluesky.social, then it's difficult to say. You've already suggested that it's becomming X-like. I don't think there's any great way to get around that. But you can block the morons.

So, we write to our reps who bow to Trump. Others protest. What are you and your colleagues do? The other side violates the law without caring. You seem to try to obey the rules and get nowhere. It's time to act, not just talk. That clearly is not working. Expose cowards and criminals.

Trumpty didn't write that; "apocalyptic" has more than two syllables, and it was spelled correctly.

This is the beginning of the attempt by administration and its backers to bring Kristallnacht to the US in their plan to establish their Reich. The real question is whether the people will stand for it or just stand by out of fear.

Most meglamaniacl bullies talk tough and back down, especially if they are demented. Hey, hey, ho, ho, 47's got to go.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a third, moderate independent party that coulld get enough traction to not give either of the current two a majority?!

Sorry Adam, unless something drastic happens, like the Supreme Court decides to uphold the law and the Congress gets a spine and doesn't cave in to the bully, it's game over.

Yes, it needs to be knocked down. However, all of the credibility you earned recently you. lost with your quid pro quo vote on Kushner. That, unfortunately, is how politicians work, but it is not the way a government should work.

Unfortunately, it is also a masterclass on how to use misinformation to convince your base that you're doing great. It's also a masterclass on how to boldly ignore the rule of law without major repercussion. It's also a masterclass on poor resistance, words and sitins are not enough.

I agree with most of this, and many of the responses. The agents are only as good as what they are trained on, leaving room for incredible bias and manipulation. Here’s one litmus test: if you’re flight will be directed by an AI agent, would you get on the plane?

Yep, doing simple arithmetic is really incredible! And another few brain cells wither away.
