Backlash against Trump & Elon from his voters is very real, folks. This is just 1 story out of Parkersburg, WV; a state in which Trump won w/70% of the vote. His voters even joined Democrats in protest. It’s only 1 loc & group amidst the myriad of issues. Momentum. ✨

“Putin would eat you for lunch.”

Uh, yes, so, Putin’s eating Trump for lunch, I’m afraid.

Ceasefire imminent!?

60 day ceasefire Israel withdraws from Lebanon in about 10 days; Hezbollah withdraws forces to a portion North of the Israeli border. Lebanese army & UNIFIL to secure.

Seems like a few loose ends to tie up, but this looks incredibly promising!

For anyone who’s still on the fence about their Thanksgiving planning…

“Extremely likely” sounds like a nightmare, trying to think of what would work best for shoving in one’s ears. Stuffing? Potatoes? Gravy? Ooh, the tiny marshmallows on yams? Cranberries? Hm. String beans?! Oh! Dinner rolls!? 😃😆
Trump voters are more likely than Harris voters to say they'll talk about the presidential election at Thanksgiving this year. (6/7)

One thing I hope we can do as Bluesky gets larger is be less tolerant of the resistance grifters who will try to hack the platform for engagement and growth without any interest in adding anything substantive or meaningful

It’s a different kind of troll.

Yes, we CAN shop at SEPHORA. I’ll admit, I started to think of boycotting after the frenzy here on these companies. But I did my own research & encourage you to do the same. “Goods Unite Us” app’s very helpful, too. We can *all* be victims to mis/disinfo even if we’re not 🍊🗳️. Let’s not be cultists.🧟‍♀️

I often think about the potential regret of 🍊 voters as his authoritarian fascist dictatorial admin takes hold. This is an excellent 🧵 for anyone else pondering the same. “Regret w/redemption” isn’t a term I’ve heard before but do keep faith there’ll be enough outrage for this to transpire in many.
I’ve been thinking about the human emotion of regret. I wonder how soon Americans who voted for a Trump dictatorship will regret their decision. They probably don’t realize yet how bad it will get, but it will be obvious soon. I wrote this thread about regret and the lessons of history. 1/13

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.

For example x.com/dril/status/...

becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...

People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

It’s getting bumpier & bumpier. Military assets? Can’t wait to see how the military community & its supporters will respond to this news, esp the 🍊-voters. I know many will rationalize it away but I hope deep down it’s at least sparked a pilot light w/in them that’s akin to: “Hm, idk about this…” 🧐🤔

⚠️ Important 🧵. A lot of us moved here bc we’re fed up w/the spread of mis/disinformation & are disillusioned by the outcome of its *insidious* effects on this election in particular. Let’s not do the same on our side. Pls don’t participate in Follow Farming it allows for bad actors & fake news. Vet.
