One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

BlueSky becoming more useful for news basically every day. Simple reason: None of that Elon trash code that punishes direct links. People share stories and we click, like God intended.

Democratic electeds would still be talking about "our democracy" on the train to the gulag. "The administration has crossed a dangerous new line," as they're being shoved aboard.

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

Watching “Nickel Boys,” which is very good — but also a reminder that the operative theory on the right is that Black people were explicitly and structurally treated as subhuman within many Americans’ lifetimes but that’s all in the past with no lingering effects.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

“We don’t have leverage but we have responsibility” is the epitome of Democratic Party brain damage. YOU DON’T HAVE RESPONSIBILITY! NO ONE IS GOING TO REWARD YOU FOR “ACTING RESPONSIBLE” IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DESTRUCTIVE REGIME FULLY CONTROLLED BY YOUR ENEMIES!

you can literally see how younger people are washing back and forth based on prevailing social media narratives

🚨BREAKING: New York appellate court UPHOLDS John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. This reverses a lower court decision in a case from Newburgh, NY. This is a big victory for the minority voters who brought suit and voting rights in the Empire State. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

if i were a leader in a party whose president just lost, in part, because of low trust disinformation inclinations, I WOULD NOT FUCKING ENCOURAGE LOW TRUST DISINFORMATION INCLINATIONS, CHUCK

This is kind of in the weeds. But I think it's important for Bluesky. So making this suggestion to @jay.bsky.team. One of Old Twitter's best features for news was curated lists. Lists are now robust enough to serve that purpose on Bluesky. One critical difference though, if I'm understanding the ...
