🔥 AMAZING.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

Watch this inspirational call to action for us all 🔥

Sure, social media has its downsides, but I cannot say enough good things about being able to see everybody's pets without having to leave my house or speak to a human first, really just knocked that one out of the park

Just a reminder for everyone new to the platform, the only thing that matters here is user engagement, so when you come across a troll or a bot, the WORST thing you can do is argue. Just use the robust block feature or ignore them altogether, and eventually the void will swallow them

Trump’s first big bold thing is to slap tariffs on our three biggest trading partners. We import oil and lumber from Canada, fresh produce from Mexico, consumer goods from China. Prices will soar as the import tax is passed on to U.S. consumers. This is madness.

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

This! A big part of what is going on right now is an effort to get you to give up. The most meaningful step you can take right now—the first one towards preserving our freedom—is to refuse to do it. Don't give up.
I am going to stop picking on this person in a second but everyone please

For the love of God

Don't treat the death of democratic elections (however deeply imperfect) as a foregone conclusion.

THAT IS WHAT THE FASCISTS WANT
I mean, the Republicans have made it clear, telegraphing it through their accusations, that elections will be prevented from going against them. Acting differently is contra-factual, at this point.

But, even so, what's the use of giving our votes as cover to a (D) party working against us?

In these tumultuous times, please practice self-care, unplug and be kind to yourself. That's what I'm going to do right now, but you can reply with how you practice self-care and I will respond in the morning.

Have a beautiful night. And tomorrow is another day.🙏

Miracles are thoughts. Thoughts can represent lower-order or higher-order reality. This is the basic distinction between intellectualizing and thinking. One makes the physical and the other creates the spiritual, and we believe in what we make or create.

Trump did not win a majority vote or mandate. I always said he was running to secure 100% of the MAGA vote, which he did. If they voted, he only needed a bit more. While there are more never Trumpers in America, we lost because to many of us chose not to vote.

I’ve found Starter Packs created by other people to be extremely helpful in growing my Bluesky account, so I decided to create my own. It’s a work in progress — I hope you find it useful. 🦋
