Those who voted for Donald Trump didn't know that they would lose their health care.

He promised time and time again he wouldn't touch Medicaid — now he's blessed the House Republicans' plan to take it all away.

He lies over and over again. It's time we wake up.

This is informative. Thanks
Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security.

Elon Musk is lying to you.

This. Falling for disinformation isn't necessarily due to a lack of critical thinking, and definitely isn't a sign of low intelligence. It deliberately feeds into primal instincts, which everyone has. Comprehensive research skills and the ability to counteract biases isn't something widely taught.
Yes. But. It's not the sole component. We will override our better natures if something matches our expectations (read: confirms our world view). It's difficult (albeit not impossible) to overcome that lizard-brain reaction.

Right-wing disinformation is now presenting itself as "critical thinking."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Stop saying homophobic and transphobic shit. I'm not going to sit arm in arm with you if this is how you act. Dead naming Caitlyn Jenner, mocking up images of trump blowing putin, etc. None of it is cool, none of it is activism, it's just shitty.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

anyone making an excuse for elons Nazi salute shouldn’t be trusted. It was blatant. They will tell you we didn’t see it, they will tell you it was a different thing entirely, there’s going to be a lot of that.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
