Kind of funny how half of Bluesky is dunking on what would be the median post on any Facebook community page
It's not life and death if I do speed, you're blowing the problem out of proportion to feel artificially safe.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

100% to all of this. Also reminds me that I need to be reading Liberal Currents, everybody there seems to have smart things to say!
So there's a lot of hooplah about this whole "welcoming into the tent" business that's been occasioned by Marjorie the Gathering's Damascene conversion.
Point blank, if you're not being very specific about what you *mean* by any of this stuff, it's an absurd and pointless debate.

An isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, with no power, no wifi, and no neighbors within screaming distance? Phoebe King’s dream come true. And you can pry it from her cold dead fingers before she’d even dream of leaving.

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

The inability of our political and financial elites to write coherent English sentences will never fail to shock me.
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
