This is really bad. Turns out this is Brock Pierce and friends. Pierce is tight with Bannon, Eric Adams, Brittany Kaiser. Russia capture, ultimately. Ride it while you can I guess but expect disaster down the road.
Bluesky’s most recent funding round came from Blockchain Capital LLC. Given that crypto interests spent at least $200mm (more than Big Oil) in this last cycle, this should be of some concern. Crypto interests are trying to capture governments globally. If Bluesky is part of that, it’s a problem.
Without regulation, every platform is vulnerable. And you know we’re not going to get regulation in the US anytime soon….

i think the media should report on the extremist ties of the VP
“The infighting [over welcoming open Nazis into the GOP tent] is stupid,” writes Vice President Vance, which makes sense only if he thinks any Republicans objecting to said Nazi-welcoming should shut up.
doing a Straussian reading of this post, especially point 3, and it's fairly obvious that Vance is aligned with the Tucker Carlson-wing of the GOP and thinks further right groups should be part of the tent, but won't outright break with Trump's I/P policy while he's still VP

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

Remember as well what I said about this the other day: Every time Pritzker, Newsome or whoever does this successfully, it creates an incentive to do it again. Criticism is a self-reinforcing cycle.
Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.
