MAHER TO REPUBLICANS: “You must know we’re on the edge of a dictatorship here — do you really want to make this a fundamentally different country than the one you claim to love? What good is making America great again if you end up losing the ‘America’ part?” 🇺🇸 (h/t @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

I checked my MAGA sister’s IG, wondering if she’s still hardcore MAGA(we were raised Democrat). No less than 20 posts about Kirk. Another saying Trump won the case filed by E. Jean Carroll 🤦♀️. The MAGA propaganda works. I don’t know if we’ll reconnect before she dies, she’s 70, poor health, mean AF

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter
The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.

The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.
