if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

Is anyone else having this problem w/ Bluesky where you type your entire thread, make sure it’s within the character limit, and then go to post it but it won’t let you? This is happening to me so frequently I’m thinking about abandoning the platform all together.

I’ve been on BlueSky for two days and it’s been nothing but Trump news. Show me your pets. Show me a piece of art you love. Link to a piece of music you’ve been digging. Let’s get something other than bad news up in here!
