Truly worried for my Muslim friends here
It's unthinkable that a militant Christian Nationalist like Pete Hegseth—whose words below are shocking—would be running our military. It's a huge national security issue for starters, but beyond that he sounds like exactly the sort of man who would help Trump in an autocoup. His nom cannot succeed.

Bluesky’s most recent funding round came from Blockchain Capital LLC. Given that crypto interests spent at least $200mm (more than Big Oil) in this last cycle, this should be of some concern. Crypto interests are trying to capture governments globally. If Bluesky is part of that, it’s a problem.
