Sage advice...
In case you were not there in early days of Twitter…
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS.
It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side.
This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter.
Just block trolls as they hit your feed.

Ah yes. I truly am losing out not being called a pedo, pu$$y, child mutilator, and whatever else you can imagine. All of those came from replies or DM’s on Twitter just yesterday when I checked in. Why would I choose to go to a place anyone can see everything I post and send their lunatics after me?
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

This is the shot of the night.
Chuck Schumer is filing cloture on several judicial nominations. The Republicans are forcing them to go into executive session separately for each nomination. Schumer and the Democrats are just pushing ahead. Here was Schumer before the 10th vote, by my count, began.

Even if McConnell told Trump there’d be no recess appointments, there’s no reason we should believe Mitch. None. One of Trump’s biggest accomplices ever. We are still full speed ahead in blocking these unqualified and unfit nominees.

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x
