Remember the people who hated Obamacare but loved the Affordable Care Act, and didn't realize they were the same thing? Yeah, a lot of them are about to find out their health insurance IS THROUGH MEDICAID!

Trouble in Trumpoid Camelot. Oh, dear, who could have seen that coming? It seems you have to be the right KIND of Christian to have your religious expression protected and championed by Orange Jesus. He's a very selective King Cyrus.

New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.

Feels like people here need to RT more and like a bit less. Remember, the likes don't amplify anything (there's no algorithm). We're all stuck in bad "X" habits. Myself included. Timeline needs to get timelier.

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.

The point about a failure of leadership is so important. Too easy to just blame the kids. Who steered the ship? Who's been teaching (or failing to)? Who created the culture? Finally, where does the buck stop?
