The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

Anyone else hearing circus music with a side of banshee-like screaming every time you open social media?

Self censorship in the name of corporate mergers is still censorship
This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

They say the Left indoctrinates children in school and then they do this! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
⚠️🚨⚠️ The Department of Education is working with 41 Conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, Moms for Liberty, and the Heritage Foundation, to lead civics programming for what they are calling “patriotic education.”

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Despite knowing all this censorship BS has been coming for a while, the fear I feel with every new headline and “breaking news” announcement from @aaronparnas.bsky.social doesn’t stop. I just keep reciting the same mantra: Just keep swimming.

During the 2016 coding bootcamp boom, I dropped out of uni to learn how to code. I was one of the lucky ones from my cohort who landed a web dev job and have made a wonderful career out of it. But, almost a decade later, I'm back in school to finish my BA because getting a degree is still important.
And yet many colleges & university have record enrollments this fall.

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

The current mainstream discourse over CK's death and the sanitization of his past disgusting comments has completely turned me off of @msnbc.com and @cnn.com. @matthewjdowd.bsky.social said exactly what needed to be said, and his firing is blatant pandering to the alt-right. Matt, I support you.

It’s official: I’m returning to college this fall to complete my BA in History after dropping out nearly a decade ago to begin my career in tech. As an adult with a mortgage and full-time job, I’ll be a part-time student for the next few years, but I’m beyond excited to begin this journey 💕
