Fun Fact: Last year, when my Dad was dying in the hospital, Hunter Biden called me to express his and his family's support for me and mine in my Dad's final days. I will always appreciate his kindness, and nobody can ever change my mind that President Biden was right to pardon him. 🙏♥️

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES lawsuit by Arizona GOP Chair, the president of Arizona Free Enterprise and voter challenging the state’s maintenance of its voter rolls. A another court victory for voters and another defeat for voter suppressors. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...

Please read this from @davidfrum.bsky.social. "It is a very ominous thing if our leading forums for discussion of public affairs are already feeling the chill of intimidation and responding with efforts to appease." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I knew Lawrence O’Donnel would bring the 🔥 “Joe Biden obviously decided his son should not be subjected to a malicious Trump witch hunt, which Donald Trump promises will be malicious and unfair.” @lawrence-odonnell.bsky.social

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans. This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases. www.salon.com/2024/12/02/d...

Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

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...

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Bondi must be asked at her confirmation hearing if Trump lost the election in 2020. Unless her answer is yes, the Senate must reject her nomination. You can't be an election denier & the attorney general joycevance.substack.com/p/gaetz-out

We need to talk about the very real possibility this could happen. Catch up on everything you missed this weekend 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/resistance...

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.

Yeah. No shit. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I feel like I should post this every day.

I don't post about wars. I'm not qualified to have an opinion. However, I need to say that this guy has been defending his country for 1000 days, and from what I see and read, he is good at it. and I find that noteworthy.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted. Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Bluesky seems to be eating twitters lunch

You’ll never guess who says he is considering taking away Medicaid and food stamps from up to 70 million Americans… Did y’all wanna talk about the price of eggs still or nah?

Republicans hate me because I fight, I don’t back down, I won’t obey.

One thing I hope we can do as Bluesky gets larger is be less tolerant of the resistance grifters who will try to hack the platform for engagement and growth without any interest in adding anything substantive or meaningful It’s a different kind of troll.

I 100% stand by this.👇

STOP! Do Not Normalize Him. Normalize this message: Donald Trump is STILL: ❌ Lawless. ❌ A threat to democracy. ❌ A wannabe dictator. If you believed he was a threat yesterday, believe it today. Do. Not. Normalize. Him. #HeIsNotNormal #SaveDemocracy

Hey Joe & Mika, this is why you never sell your soul to Donald Trump. He’ll always stab you and shame you.

Thanks for noticing.

It’s nice to be on Bluesky, where I can say “I hope you have a great Saturday.” And the response isn’t from thousands of MAGA accounts having a complete meltdown over it.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

For those of you who follow me elsewhere, while I am not deleting my X account, I will using Bluesky (and maybe Threads) as my primary tool for sharing election and democracy information. I will also be increasing my writing on Democracy Docket. democracydocket.com/member-me/

A whiteboard from our Jan 2023 team retreat where I wrote down our goals, and the top one was “10k user signups.” We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Guess we shouldn't be too surprised that this guy... chose this guy.

NEW: Nevada judge REJECTS rightwing lawsuit to force county to investigate voter challenges. A victory for our clients and Nevada voters. www.democracydocket.com/cases/nevada...

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true. You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into. We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
