"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

“Trump and his enablers will not experience non-stop, unimpeded success—as long as there is a vivid, consistent and courageous opposition.” Here are “two historical snapshots to remind us of the depth of commitment required to make a better future.”

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.

Yes, it can happen here.
No, it’s not what defines America and Americans…yet.
Yes, the opposition is larger than the minority that voted it in.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.

Seems to me @chrislhayes.bsky.social wrote a book about this phenomenon back in, what, 2012.
RFK Jr. on a Russian TV show: “You cannot trust medical advice from medical professionals.”

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!
With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

The purpose of Trump’s picks are not only to dismantle the government and kowtow to him, but to humiliate senators who would confirm these people while knowing full well how unfit they are.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Here's the post mortem no one's brave enough to write: We actually have a very clear and recent example of how a party comes back from a clear and convincing electoral defeat, and that's the way the Republicans adapted to their loss in 2020.
