Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

If you won’t fight to stop Republicans from causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket, in exchange for tax cuts for the wealthy, what will you fight for?

This is exactly why we need to primary feckless, spineless Democrats. They serve the corporations and billionaires - not the working class.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

The SC allowed Trump to enforce passport restrictions targeting transgender people.

Let’s be clear, this decision will put American citizens in harm’s way, and it is an obvious sign that our checks and balances are broken.

Democratic state governors and legislators need to put their money where their mouth is. I've outlined here for The Guardian one way they could begin to do so:

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
