Anybody who thinks that Bluesky is a bubble where people just reinforce each others’ opinions should try sharing an opinion on Bluesky.

I'm sure this is a very difficult thing for the Boomer generation politicians to wrap their heads around, but it's urgent they get there.

i guess my main question for people with this perspective is if they think something of an ideological bubble is worse than being called a "nigger" whenever you post

While we all have Elon Musk on the brain. There’s something about a private platform pretending it has anything to do w/ free speech that drives me nuts. It was dumb when Elon did it. It’s dumb that Substack is doing it. They’re skirting accountability for platforming & monetizing extremist views.

This describes an endemic that will have to be investigated and Congress will have to write legislation explicitly forbidding it. We can't allow any President to assemble ad-hoc police forces from his core supporters outside the chain of command.

The other thing about the militarized teams deployed on deportations is that they are increasingly a coalition of the willing that scrambles chains of command across various dept's and agencies (DHS, ICE, FBI, CBP, BOP, etc), creating what amounts to a personalized militia loyal only to Trump. 🧵

The fact that the person who was head of intelligence for the MPD was working giving information to the head of the Proud Boys as they were running around trying to menace people around the city has only merited the most cursory of attention is frankly amazing to me.

Today's shadow docket decision allowing DOGE immediate access to individual Social Security data is a flaming turd substantively and procedurally. Justice Jackson, dissenting, joined by Justice Sotomayor; Justice Kagan also would've denied the stay. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

If a Democrat takes Musk money I won't vote for them, it's that simple. Nope fuck you sorry done.

An easy mental litmus test for elected Dems right now: If Elon announced he was now 100% in on the Democratic party, who would welcome him and who would push him into the nearest lake?

OK! This polling post from a key Dem data advisor is a goldmine to understand why Democratic leaders are not fighting now. Let's dig in. First, from 10,000 feet the message is good. We should fight and stop this monstrous bill. But... 1/

#Andor is a great piece of fiction, except for all the parts that aren't.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Elon Musk is a person who actually should have his U.S. security clearance revoked if any of the normal rules are applied to him in a fair and unbiased way.

Caring about these two overgrown children stomping on each other should be optional. Gross wealth concentration means that we don't have a choice. Oligarchy is the enemy; these guys are just today's avatars.
