The sudden appearance of all these Trump administration accounts on Bluesky is ominous. They're not here in good faith and they're not here to troll.
They're setting something up. It likely has to do with a coming attack on Bluesky.

If you’re really serious about changing this country so this can never happen again, it’s going to take years, or more likely decades, of sustained, difficult, and increasingly dangerous work. Elections are part of it, but the institutional Democratic Party as it exists now won’t be the vehicle.

These people aren’t going to give up power if they lose an election. That should be obvious by now. They don’t believe that there’s a legitimate election they can lose; if they lose, it’s not legitimate by definition.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

It's worth mourning the end of a 40ish-year-long broad American consensus that political violence is a bad thing, one that leads to lots of innocent people getting hurt and killed. We've been watching that consensus erode consistently since 2016 at the latest and now it's fully gone.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

One election isn't going to fix what's wrong with the United States, the rotten substructure of civic engagement, oligarchic power, and spoiled resentment that's gotten us to this place. Victory over Trump and MAGA is going to require a wholesale remaking of American political culture and society.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.
