Michael McFaul is an American academic & diplomat who served as the US ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014. We need his voice right now on BlueSky, but his account is barely off the ground. Can we all please do what we can to boost his followers so he spends time HERE?! @mcfaulmike.bsky.social

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

In the future, when voting between presidential candidates is separated by less than 2%, let's make them both sit down at school desks, take civics tests about the constitution, and the one with the highest score gets to be president.

Think about how insane it is for Americans to be rooting for other countries to stick it to America because the President is a freaking lunatic with another lunatic doing his crimes for him just like a mob boss and his hit man. And a Republican political party of gangstas.

If you are neutral in the face of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. Not choosing a side is indeed choosing a side. Ultimately you may be choosing to lose your choice. Stand up for what you believe in! Stand up for what is right!

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist. Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success. Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success. It's that simple.

“The lingering effects of polio in his left leg" It's almost like Mitch McConnell's leg is working harder to whip GOP votes against RFK Jr. than Mitch McConnell is.

Freezing scientific funding isn’t abstract. In medicine, life or death is often dictated by time. Temporary delays can cause great harm.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave. This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.
