It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Under his eye

At a loss for words.

Trump loves nothing more than inventing fake problems and pretending to fix them

In a letter, Kennedy said RFK Jr. was "unqualified" to be the new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary just hours before he was scheduled to appear for confirmation hearings.

We are in the bad place

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The funniest thing about this Elon salute thing is that MAGAts are trying to defend him by doing the salute themselves online…and they are losing their jobs because of it lol

raise your hand if you think that is, in fact, what the president “wants”: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Unfortunately, no matter how much technology advances, there will always be human nature.

#ICYMI: The 14 hours of Project 2025 videos published by ProPublica and @documented.bsky.social last August coach potential future Trump appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. Watch below.

This week isn’t even a “we told you so” moment for us because HE literally told them so

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

Teslas are the new ‘red hat’ I fear

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

A tale of Elon and his apologists: Elon lets Nazis back on his platform - "he's defending free speech" He regularly amplifies supremacist ideologies, memes and conspiracy theories - "he's doing it for engagement" He does the Nazi salute (twice) - "he has autism-ish" Elon is a Nazi. The End.

This has all been a long time coming. @propublica.org

Starting to get it?

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Elon Musk is—I say this advisedly, as a biographer of his life—the absolute worst.

Welcome to the fourth reich

They really think god sent the former host of the apprentice to save our nation

We got a fourth reich before gta6

Congrats to all those Trump fans who fell for the most obvious scam in the history of the world.

Trump outs Elon Musk for rigging the US election. Note, Elon does not have a pardon.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

He wants so desperately to be profound, but instead this stuff comes across as super weird and uncomfortable.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.

The US is just a corrupt corporation with an army

Let's Gooo! techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

the crazy part is this means the facebook we’ve all been experiencing for the past 5 years was the *good* version

This is a very casual way to explain something that is absolutely NOT normal

The roast of Pete Hegseth deserves a daytime Emmy nom

if you want to “do your own research,” take notes from the scientific method. when you form your hypothesis, seek data to disprove it to avoid confirmation bias. reject anecdotal evidence as “proof” in favor of data that has been consistent across multiple peer-reviewed studies.

CHILD: Mom, why did they name bases after people who tried to kill our soldiers? MOTHER: Because they needed votes from the Klan, sweetie.

The man in charge of social media platforms used by billions should show some moral courage, writes @jemima.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/682c...

That check to Carrie Underwood must be MASSIVE

Zuck is the original incel

Just gonna leave this here

I’ll never get over this mic drop from Elon’s daughter

This is a fascinating turn of events
