I do feel sometimes like this place doesn't have the same juice, but then I look over there and realize the juice I crave doesn't really exist anymore

Just think of all of the people that sadly still are on Twitter.

bm0330.bsky.social•2 days ago

I appreciate that she spoke out and spoke out forcefully. Lord knows the Chief Justice is too much of a chicken shit to do it!!

Stephen Miller suing John Roberts. He wants control of federal courts under the executive branch. Not co-equal branches now that Congress has surrendered and they are going after the Judiciary. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Why the hell aren't *all nine* of them up in arms about this?

In the case of one of them, gotta afford a quarter million dollar Winnebago somehow.

So much less cortisol without Twitter…still a lot!…but at least it’s not from the platform users.

Much appreciation for Justice Brown-Jackson.

I’m posting her 149 page resume here from her confirmation hearing because it is perhaps the most impressive resume I have ever seen in my life.
Good lord!
A more brilliant, qualified jurist cannot possibly exist.
Yet even so,
She exceeds high expectations

You suffer from Post Twitter Stress Disorder. Bluesky is good therapy.

roberthernon.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are afraid of her and want to minimize her exposure

nosoupforglen.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is about the only place left where that doesn't happen. I mean,we have trolls. It's nowhere near as bad. Here it's a smattering of libertarian wannabes and Bitcoin bros.

rollingnscratching.bsky.social•2 days ago

When the right calls EVERY black person an affirmative action hire...maybe it's not about affirmative action anymore?

Lot of black folks were hit in the gov layoffs as they were often targeted. Shame.

She just told us how it really is, smart woman.

palando.bsky.social•3 days ago

That'll do it.

paraprod.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is refreshing to see comments that discuss the post instead of trashing it. Thank you, Bluesky!

There are no blue checks on here. On the other site you could always count on the blue checks to deliver the worst most disgusting takes, no matter the topic.

andkenbrbr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. I first noted when I noted that the African parts of Twitter were better because very few people there would buy bluechecks.

shafawn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson’s mission on the Court is just that—Justice.

How refreshing.💜💙♥️

holliwinters57.bsky.social•2 days ago

lol....last night I decided to visit twitter and saw a post critical about the woman raising money after calling a child the N word. I figured the replies would be bad, and they were. You can only guess what the replies had in them and you'd be correct. A horrible place. I only keep it for sports.

khadijah.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jackson told judges to show “raw courage,” dispensing justice w/o fear of results. “I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, & I do believe that history will vindicate your service.” What a way to honor #lawday & stand with 10k+ attorneys that attended https://lawdayofaction.org!

Thank you for not being on Twitter anymore. I quit also. - from one Peter to another

cosmotheshaggydog.bsky.social•2 days ago

Kudos to Justic Brown Jackson. But sad to denigrate elephants. They don’t want to be in the room. Trust me. Cosmo was there and it’s not pleasant.

I would say anyone still on twitter supports Elon Musk's agenda. Just like anyone who still shops on Amazon supports Jeff Bezos ill treatment of his workers, and how anyone still on Facebook supports Zuckerburg selling your private data. Either you support oligarchy or you don't. Make a choice.

unclegus1967.bsky.social•2 days ago

How about donalds attacks on America in general?

thinkbeyondpolitic.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. It’s not that the attacks stopped, it’s that you stepped out of the algorithm that thrives on outrage.

Twitter didn’t just amplify racism and misogyny. It curated it.

Leaving isn’t just peaceful. It’s clarifying.

Just when Americans have reached peak black fatigue this woman declares judges to be above the law. Priceless!😜

befh.bsky.social•2 days ago

She's also the most qualified justice on the court right now, not that something like that matters to these people

rhyosjin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Anyone still using Twitter is contributing to Elon’s wealth, influence, and ability to dismantle our systems. If people actually want to fight back they first have to stop using things that enrich people like Elon.

orphanannie1958.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don’t forget Bezos. Boycott WaPo and Amazon.
