It depends on your definition of an echo chamber. My corner of Bluesky includes folks who make me laugh, folks who make me think, folks who challenge me to push past my fear and my complacency. There are actors and artists and academics. I block racists, misogynists, Nazis. Not sorry.

Forgive me for being blunt.
But “we’ll fix this in the next election” is NOT A GREAT RESPONSE TO WHERE WE ARE.
Normal rules are NOT in play.
Act now.
Organize now.
Speak up now.
Plan now.
Push back—and urge power- holders to do the same.

Trump can't eliminate the ED without the votes of 60 Senators. He doesn't have that. But he can nominate a clown as Secretary.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.

I’ve been really into building up my physical media collection, any recommendations on best places to buy USED video games, books, and Blu-ray in good condition?

When I titled my book "Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone" I really did not anticipate how hard that phrase would eventually hit.

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

Tim miller, who I disagree with often, said "we're all liberals now" & he's right. Either youre pro regime or youre against them and whether you came here via never trumping or leninist beliefs is absolutely irrelevant to the ppl on the other side because far as they care, everyone else is one side
if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything
