mctooth.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

So, the West Virginia state government, while Republican @FoghornLeghorn was part-time governor, created a plan and submitted it for broadband access in West Virginia. Now a new market here for Starlink. No feuding in the capitalist class. mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/06/05/m...

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

A $100M lawsuit from the Proud Boys isn’t about damages, it’s a laundering mechanism and a way to fund a domestic terrorist organization with plausible deniability. I’ll bet the Trump Admin. settles for ~$25 million and a thank-you card for brand loyalty and future services.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Privatized ICE detention facilities are funded by our tax dollars through gov contracts that pay fees per inmate. They are given quotas and financial incentives to pack the places with maximum prisoners and to cut corners on food and overall living conditions. We pay the cost; they reap the profits.
