Trump's pick to run the FBI wants to target Trump's critics. Forget about whether he *can*—the fact that he publicly stated he wants to, and that this didn't immediately disqualify him from getting anywhere near the government's top law enforcement agency, is a sign of our democracy's deterioration.

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook)

Bluesky now has 20 million users and I’m estimating that 19 million of those are LFC fans

So true.
I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

There have been serious, qualified individuals nominated to posts, like Rubio or Stefanik. Eric Schmitt would be a solid choice for AG.

But Dem opinions on Gaetz aren’t that interesting.

The good ones will come from my GOP colleagues to justify a vote for that jerkoff.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

No, see, it's not an illegal voting lottery, we're just defrauding the public into *thinking* it's an illegal voting lottery. In reality it's actually just a series of illegal voting bribes.

Brilliant work, sir. Masterful strategy.

Man, Twitter has just become this ludicrous firehose of right wing lies, conspiracies, fake news, and propaganda.

I honestly can barely f-cking stand it anymore. I wish the few accounts I still follow on there migrated here.

This place is far more sane. Need LFC twitter over here.
