I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION. 12 people. $2 trillion. The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

agreed & i'll add something more cynical for the bsky team: you'll see more growth if you ban people like him. for anyone he brings over he'll drive someone off, whereas "holy shit bluesky ban the known troll shitheads on sight" posted all over X will do a lot more for you numbers-wise

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
