The DC plane and helicopter crash is exactly the type of incident one should sadly expect under an administration that in just 10 days has undermined societal stability and safety in the USA in a multitude of catastrophic and moronic ways. #planecrash #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

The federal minimum wage in the USA has been $7.25 since 2009! No increase in 15 years! How is that acceptable in any civilized society?! What a DISGRACE!

If you’re a Democrat & “uncomfortable” that Biden pardoned his son, then you aren’t paying attention to how trashy life is going to get during Trump 2.0. And if you’re a Trump supporter whining about it, you have no credibility given you’re already supporting a convicted felon!

Biden did the right thing to pardon his son. Not doing so while he had the chance would have been completely foolish given who is soon to be in charge. Democrats must abandon the pointless need to always take the moral high ground given their opponents operate in the gutter!

The next four years are gonna be bleak.

The European Federation of Journalists—the largest organization of journalists in Europe—announced that they’ll stop posting on Twitter as of January 20, 2025: “We can no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

The Trump Administration, 2.0!

It’s not a Russian spy ring. It’s a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

Which group is predominant in the list of nominees for Trump’s next “administration”? White men. Who would have predicted that! It’s all very predictable with Donald Trump and it’s never good. #sexism #patriarchy #racism #misogyny

Would you rather be an X or a 🦋? X represents hatred and lies! ❌ 🦋 represents safety and truth! ✅

Watching the Bluesky user count in real time is satisfying! bcounter.nat.vg

"I'm here to own the libs"

Bluesky 🦋 feels hopeful while X feels dark & miserable.

Standard “reply” on X - this is precisely why that site has become total trash. It’s riddled with trolls, morons and hate-filled MAGA cultists.

The fact that there’s so much more engagement here than on threads seems to point a real throttling of content

The popular vote tally is now about 49.9% Trump and 48.2% Harris. And this is why so many are FED UP with corporate media, because post-election they helped fuel the lie that Trump “won big” - meanwhile he couldn’t even get >50% of voters to support him.

Hello Bluesky, I’m feeling an old time Twitter vibe here and I like it! So much better than the cesspool of trash and hate that X has become.

This is not a mandate, sure he won the popular vote but it’s not a mandate.
