BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

In an attempt to have some self-care after a horrid week, I started knitting on a blanket club. Stripe 1 is done. The cat was not impressed. Stripe 2 is in progress. 🧶

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

🚨🚨🚨EMERGENCY PSA 🚨🚨🚨

if you were following Biden or Harris on Facebook / Instagram you are now following Trump and Vance

thank you to the people who DM'd me right away because they immediately knew that "Claire Willett is following JD Vance" meant something horrible had happened ☠️

Reminder to those who need it:

1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here

2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm

3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

The new White House has already deleted dozens of environmental justice websites and reports. Worry not, they’re all backed up on various independent university websites. eelp.law.harvard.edu/tracker-type...

Today, Donald Trump doubled down on his vows to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine.

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.

exciting! the bluesky team often calls the AT Protocol "billionaire-proof," but this term is only accurate when there are viable alternatives that users can benefit from. (@atproto.com is the underlying standard that bluesky is built upon.)

this new project is helping to make that a reality!
Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media
The likes of Mark Ruffalo and Jimmy Wales are backing the Free Our Feeds project, to ensure Bluesky's tech will thrive even if the company goes bad.
