The Trump admin has come to bluesky. These new accounts for gov agencies are not run by anyone we know in the agencies and have all started off with Hatch Act violations.

In true bsky fashion, I'll be blocking the lot of them rather than giving them any engagement.

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat

they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

Reminder: this country literally had a revolution because they didn’t want to pay tariffs on tea!

Tariffs are in the Constitution—and Congress has the power, not a wannabe king with a spray tan. Just sayin.

BREAKING: Massive ICE raid ongoing at a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, CA.

Local news reports that an unknown number of workers have been detained.

Almost 20% of US strawberries come from the county. US food supply at risk from Trump’s fascist thugs & Stephen Miller’s quota.

PAY ATTENTION: L.A. just got a little preview of what’s coming. No arrests. No real “threat.”

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

It’s journalistic malpractice not to remind America that Trump also brought us to the brink of catastrophe with Iran in 2020 by assassinating—in a plot he drafted with Netanyahu—the second-most popular Iranian as he was on his way to a PEACE SUMMIT Trump’s Saudi business associates had lured him to.
