The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Social media is evolving fast, and platforms like TikTok and X are quickly becoming breeding grounds of hate. Worse, these companies are bending the knee to Trump. Propaganda will be everywhere.

Pardons simply shouldn’t exist, or at least shouldn’t be unilateral. Biden pardoning his son, whatever the reason, is another parting shot from a bitter, otherwise competent politician.
Biden said he would not pardon Hunter, and I've always been against such a pardon. But MAGA is screaming “abuse of power” while Trump is busy drafting 1,000 pardons for his family, his lawyers, his landscapers, January 6 rioters, and that guy from the Apprentice who got fired in Week 3...

I get the point, but they actually are an investment. A good one, too. Libraries have a net increase on tax receipts in the long run.
Libraries are an investment. Not an expense

Please add a follow button on account posts! It’s easy to assume I’m following an account that shows up on my feed when I’m not, but I might want to.

99% of the advice people give for using Bluesky amounts to “don’t willingly have a terrible experience”, and the messed up thing is that peoples experience online has gotten so bad they legitimately need to be reminded of that

I'm reading that Mark Zuckerberg is genuinely spooked by the rapid growth of Bluesky. Sounds pretty good.

The greatest obstacle to affordable housing is overleveraged real estate owners. Housing should NOT be an investment. Imagine if other basic rights were publicly traded and privatized. Oh, wait…

I know the suspicion is bot accounts, and that may be true, but it is important to consider that the users of this site are more politically and socially involved. In other words, this site has a higher ratio of high-participation users. Probably.
My engagement here is orders of magnitude greater than on Twitter despite having fewer followers. Fishy math. I wonder why...

Participate!
Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.

Five years ago, I would consider this unacceptable government intervention. But social media really is deadly for children.

More importantly, many many brands use predatory social media strategies to market to children. Every country should be regulating this.
Breaking News: Australia has passed a sweeping ban on social media for children under 16, one of the world’s most comprehensive measures aimed at safeguarding young people from potential hazards online. nyti.ms/3VbiGzc
Australia Bans Social Media for Everyone Under 16
The law sets a minimum age for users of platforms like TikTok, Instagram and X. How the restriction will be enforced online remains an open question.

The right thinks being respectful creates an echo chamber, though.
Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

👏👏👏👏👏
It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office

Who will these guys try to bully when there are no more leftists on Twitter?
I reported an antisemitic slur and threat hurled at me on Twitter, to see what happens, and after an "investigation" it was "determined" that it did not violate their rules. Cool.
