Watching people losing their minds about Dem rhetoric on ICE and it's like people don't remember how Project 2025 played in the election just over a year ago.
I don't want my politicians lying to people but not talking about your policy goals doesn't mean you don't have those policy goals

I don't think Bluesky inherently _is_ an echo chamber. But there are certainly a number of users who *want* it to be. We should not let them have their way. Let them create their own instance. That's the beauty of decentralization, after all.

It's exactly right. But also note on the internet related stories—the banning of TikTok and the attack on Sec 230—Democrats happily helped MAGA accomplish their goals and people have cheered it on.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵
