If you don’t know who Jay Graber is, you will. She’s the woman behind Blue Sky.
Everyone’s talking about it. In just the past week, Bluesky’s user base has exploded, more than doubling to over 16 million as people scramble for an alternative to X, Facebook, and Threads.

The Gaetz fiasco is beyond belief.
Clearly DOJ believed the victim; her testimony put Gaetz’s friend away for 11 years on Sex Trafficking and other charges. And her testimony was corroborated. Yet DOJ didn’t charge Gaetz? Now Trump and his allies want to protect Gaetz, an apparent pedophile. Jesus!

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."
That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.
There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Hard to think of a worse choice for democracy and DOJ than Matt Gaetz. He himself has already demonstrated a proclivity for lies and he narrowly averted federal charges, which likely means he shares Trump's antipathy for the DOJ & its career function. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd call it a disaster.

Bad news indeed.
R's look to have taken House. Add to that the Sup Court, and the monolithic control rivals any in the last 50 years. & media not the counterweight it was. There is some state power to counter abuses, but nowhere near as much as massed w/in MAGA. Huge challenges for democracy.
