I’m a resist lib account following 45,000 people on here. My timeline looks like the code from the Matrix if it was entirely homophobic AI images of Elon Musk. I haven’t read a post from someone I actually know for six months. In the time it took you to read this I just followed 700 more accounts.

The fact that Trump isn't talking about executing the three people Biden didn't commute tells you a lot. Does he not want to execute the guy that killed members of a black church and Jews worshiping at their synagogue? Why isn't he chomping at the bit to kill the Russian that blew up Boston?

this one easy trick will put a lot of black people into an early grave
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

i think unless you had accounts on parler, gab, and 4chan, and use those accounts to tell the right wingers on those sites that they are in echo chambers and need to be wary of epistemic closure, you should just shut the fuck up about it here on bluesky

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
