Bluesky needs more ideological diversity, a thread:

1/8: I think the question of why commentators like Matt Yglesias, Lakshya Jain, Noah Smith, Nate Silver and Richard Hanania don’t post more, or at all on Bluesky is important.

This would be a better platform if they did.
I like posting on BlueSky because I think I’m the most right-wing person who uses this service.

I wrote a thing about McGregor, Garron Noone and why we need to talk about where this nonsense is coming from.

If a fraction of influencers and celebrities spent as much time talking about Respectable men in suits that are suffocating us all for profit and power instead of the "Untalked-About" topic of immigration that gets yapped about non-stop, energy might start being pointed in the right direction.

Immigration is good! It's a good thing. Immigration is not at the root of any of our problems. I'm not prepared to cede that ground, to be honest.

Segregation was never just separate facilities
It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood
It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired
It was needing police for the police
It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells)
It was building a school & having it shot up (JSU)

What does this look like to you?
The identical outfits, the shaved heads, the way they're surrounded by heavily armed guards? The fact that they've been tried for or convicted of nothing.

I know what it looks like to me.

Wes Streeting has all the intelligence and charm of a guy who gets fired on week two of The Apprentice but somehow he's in charge of the NHS.

There's a headline like this every week, but no one is actually talking about how it must make young women feel that their male peers often base their sense of self around hating women and the news is constantly talking about how we need to be more accepting of it
'No-one is talking about young men' increasingly occupies the same space as 'we need an honest conversation about immigration'. We never shut up about young men. It's one of the only things we ever talk about, although admittedly only ever to say 'we need to be more reactionary'.

I want to read a piece on what it’s like to be a young woman growing up with some of your male peers becoming increasingly hostile to you, your success and the wellbeing of vulnerable groups. Where’s the opinion columns on that???

It’s world book day - One in ten children in NI have no books in their houses - something to remember as we hear how increased defence spending just simply HAS to come from welfare cuts

This season of Big Boys was perfect, and heartbreaking. What a way to round of a fantastic series. #BigBoys

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

I wish conspiracy theories would go back to being fun things like cryptids and men in black and ufos rather than “vaccines are bad and also women”

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

It feels like it’s been for decades we’ve heard the usual whinge from the far-right about George Soros and the influence of billionaires in politics. Has a single one of them sounded the alarm about Musk? He must be brought to task. This is not “Atlas Tweeted”.

Please understand that the fire behind all this - the organising and the funding - is extremist christian groups.

They want to eradicate LGBTQIA+ people AND abortion.

Their end goal of attacking trans children is to destroy Gillick competence, which paves the way for banning abortion.
UK courts are preparing to overrule Gillick Competency - laws that allow a teen to get medical treatment (like an abortion or a vaccination) without parental consent - all because the young person is trans! 😣

PS: The lawyer is an ADF-aligned anti-abortion Christian Evangelist!

Fascinated by people who think you should boycott Ireland for opposing genocide, but not boycott a country for actual genocide.

How do people so easily ditch their humanity because they’ve picked a “Team”.
