Former Republican who disavowed and left the GOP 15 years ago when it moved too far right, abandoned any principles, and became irredeemably stupid.
Actually, come to think of it, I came here from Twitter for pretty much the same reasons.

Agreed. I once again request that @bsky.app please, PLEASE add the ability to deactivate base reposts on a per-account basis. There are so, SO many accounts here I would love to follow, but they are so repost-heavy that my timeline would be absolutely inundated.

In case anyone still needs yet another example of how the Dems are completely and utterly failing what's left of this country: this fascist regime was "dragging its feet" on trying to explain why they were committing WAR CRIMES, and Tim's bright idea was to threaten to… "reduce their travel budget."

Well worth the watch. And I hate that we've gotten to the point in this capitalist dystopia where you have to explicitly let people KNOW your animation is NOT AI—as opposed to that animation being the default—but here we are.
If you haven't seen this wonderful short, from the co-director of Brother Bear, that took him 3 years to make and is a BIG "FU" to AI art, then please GO AND WATCH AND SUPPORT. It's only 11 mins long and it's STUNNING. #SnowBear

This is the thing that drives me insane. Things aren't normal; this isn't politics as usual. And when you accurately describe everything this administration is doing, it's so lawless, radical, and authoritarian that *you* sound like a partisan extremist.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Of course, what Vance is missing here is that the "American culture"—which he expects immigrants to conform to—is, in fact, the AMALGAM of ALL those immigrants' cultures. It's not some monolithic, immutable codex handed down from on high. It constantly changes and shifts as more people are added.
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
