Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Maybe reposting old TikToks on Bluesky is the new TikTok.

I don’t have an opinion on TikTok because I’m on Bluesky and that means I’m over 30 years old and most of my opinions are about Tylenol and what’s on Hulu

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

one of the reasons I'll never leave twitter is that the nazis are having a posting civil war rn over whether it's gay to have a wife and they're all calling each other jewish homosexuals and posting each others most embarrassing secrets, and you just don't get that kind of entertainment on here
