Mental health experts are seeing an increase in patients, largely Democrats, citing burnout and despair in part to the energy required to keep up with Trump's rapid-fire policies.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social We need heroes like you. The average American is completely terrified and feeling utterly hopeless. Every single day is a waking nightmare. Therapists will be making bank the next four years. p.s. My Gal and I love you and think you are what this country absolutely needs.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter

The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Kash Patel raised money for January 6 insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement.

I asked him to look those officers in the eye and tell them he was proud of what he did.

He couldn't.
