Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole. Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁

Take this as a win for the good guys.🥳 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My high schooler had to pick a topic for a medical ethics essay and he chose abortion. This should go over well in Utah.

Update: -down 6000 followers on Twitter -up 81000 on Bluesky Folks, I'll take it every day of the week

Hi, I’m God. Jesus said he wants you all to have free healthcare. Love, God

Harris made the fascism case against Trump, citing Milley and Mattis and with help from Liz Cheney, and if anything it hurt her in the polls. It just doesn’t land as a real concern to many voters. (To be clear, it’s a real concern to me!)

Well, now I know we made the right decisions

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Release the report anyway.

Probably the only time I was grateful for a MTG tweet.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President. It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me. Dammit, America. 😞

I figured out a fast way to follow folks back! If you like this post, I can bring up the list of everyone who liked it and follow back with one click. So like this post, but remember that there’s limits on follow backs. But I’ll do my level best!

Correct

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.

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

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Period

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

Happy birthday

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Rep. Dan Goldman: "Matt Gaetz is currently under an ethics investigation that was started after a serious criminal investigation for sleeping with underage women... The idea that you would put somebody who clearly has such a vendetta against the DOJ *in control* of the DOJ... is scary."

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome! With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

Well said.

Let's keep it rolling

Crazy

CAN ANYONE SEE THIS

Fox News: "The Onion has 4.3 trillion daily readers."

The United States has oligarchs now. Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

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

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

The Onion owns you bro. They can do whatever they want (and I can't wait).

are we out of the woods yet? are we in the clear yet? if Bluesky is a lil slow for you, hang tight! there were some networking issues on the U.S. east coast affecting Bluesky and other apps, but looks like they're resolving now. 💙
