The so-called "deep state" isn't some shadowy conspiracy—it's the thousands of dedicated government employees across the country who ensure that planes don’t collide in the sky, traffic lights operate smoothly, and bridges remain standing.

RFK Jr. is a whole different level of dangerous. His anti-vaccine rhetoric and disregard for science could put countless lives at risk, reversing decades of public health progress. Please call a U.S. senator and let them know how critical it is to oppose his nomination.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Mark. I feel this. But debating in 300 character increments with people with whom we do not have a shared pool of facts is not an exchange of viewpoints.
This is the most frustrating part of all the normalization.
"What color is the sky?"
"Cars!"
That is not an exchange of perspectives.

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Today's Small Favor: Please take a moment to set an alarm for when you can make a quick call to Chuck Schumer's office at (202) 224-6542. Introduce yourself and urge him to prioritize filling every vacant federal judgeship before this term ends. Then ask a friend to do the same.

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps.
if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill won’t be far behind. and if the GOP isn’t unanimous, there’s a chance they won’t even try.

PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us.
Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes.
This is OUR good place.
Block those dumb fuckers.
