My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

HE’S REPLACING NPR WITH BREITBART !?!?!?

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

Today, a brush fire started in Pacific Palisades fueled by extremely high winds. At the Getty Villa, some trees & vegetation on site have burned, but no structures are on fire, and staff and the collection remain safe. The Villa is closed to non-emergency staff and the public.

“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!

A small sampling of why Elon wants to eliminate federal watchdog agencies...

Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words, this is spot on. Do not obey in advance!

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Breaking: Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, says he is withdrawing his name from consideration to serve as the Justice Department chief

Seems so confusing to be a conservative. You don’t care about the well-being of other people but you are completely obsessed with what they’re doing all of the time when you’re not around.

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

I subscribe to the paradox of tolerance

Hey #SwiftiesForKamala / America! Because of the failure to release the House Ethics Committee's reports on Matt Gaetz & the threat of recess appointments, we need to call our legislators ASAP. & if you, like me, dread making phone calls, these are the tips I have for pushing your elected reps🧵

Call your senators and demand they block his nomination.

Prepare Now For The Next 4 Years: 1. pay off as much debt as possible 2. Cut MAGA ppl out of your life. They fucked around, now they have to find out the #consequences 3. Any time you can vote, vote Blue everywhere. We now need to rebuild from the bottom up 4. Share Factual News Only

Sad news: I don't know exactly when, but Thelma Johnson has died. She was an unflinching critic of all things Trump & Musk, a fierce defender of democracy. She & I bonded over the fact that I had a great-grandmother named Thelma, to whom I was very close as a kid. She will be greatly missed.

chiefs don't piss me off lock it tf in omg

Encourage your children to start a banned book club 📕 💙 ❤️

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

18M + 1. 💙, Mar🐫

Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky! 18M users? 🙂‍↔️ 18M friends 🙂‍↕️

This is not a mandate.

Amanda Serrano was robbed.

UPDATE California has 883,773 ballots left to process.

Over past decade, I have been one of many people calling out NYT (WaPo, WSJ, etc) for tweets, online heds, other "social sells" that sane-wash/both-sides political reality A lot of the time, maybe most, the publication has cleaned them up in an hour or two. NPR is riding this one all the way down.

Posting the OOTW lyric video is a flex-there must be some Swifties on the Bluesky team 😂

There are so many of you joining right now that things may temporarily glitch! If you’re seeing “invalid handle”, this is probably one of those things — see this thread for more information.

The United States has oligarchs now. Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

The General/Flag dismissal board and the selection of Hegseth to implement project 2025’s plans to politicize the military can transform the military into a dangerous and, also, less capable force. The military will become a threat to Americans and a less capable deterrent to or many global enemies.

Matt Gaetz practiced law for two years at a private law firm. That is the extent of his legal career. He has been under legal investigation almost 10xs longer than he’s practiced law. This is not only a disgrace to all Americans, but the legal profession.

Since Bluesky seems to be filled with Swifties and book lovers, would there be any interest in me turning breakdowns of literary devices used in lyricism into a series like the example below? Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in. Would love to build a good vibes community here.

Just in case anyone still thinks allegations of Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian asset are unfounded.

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25. That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.
