Remember for today, you don't have to tolerate people just because you state DNA. Family is made up of love and support, and if you do not receive that you are under no obligations. A lesson from us queer people that should apply to everyone: your chosen family is what matters. 💕

"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

Social media platforms are all about attention, and a swell of people deciding to take their attention away from X and give it to BlueSky is huge.

@jpbrammer.bsky.social just wrote an interesting piece on his switch from X to BlueSky that I think is worth reading: open.substack.com/pub/holapapi...

Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber.

Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse.

Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

Trump just nominated the author of the FCC chapter of Project 2025 as Chairman of the FCC.

Expect an attempt to censor what the Christian right considers “indecent, profane” and “illegal” (aka obscene):
