5 years after the brutal murder of George Floyd police kill more people each year than ever before, even as violent crime has dropped.
Police brutality must be included in our democracy discussions.

Charlotte saying what needs to be said.
"Sir, the House Democratic Caucus is failing to meet this moment. By a lot. There were ten weeks between Election Day and Inauguration, and it’s not as though y’all didn’t know in advance the rough sketch for what’s occurred over the past eight days."

This really highlights the foundational importance of The Bluesky Way (“immediately block anybody who says anything even remotely unchill to you or to anybody you like”)
Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

I am just looking around today, feeling overwhelmed by the number of extraordinary people I know who have been working very hard for a very long time towards making this flying rock safer and more free for more people.

I know these times are scary. They are.

But we're not alone. You are not alone.

As someone who has had panic attacks this made me cry. We all deserve to be taken care of so lovingly.
This is Rue. She had a panic attack after a fire alarm went off in her building. But despite being scared, she was still able to do one of the bravest things of all, and ask for help. 14/10

Beginning to understand why so many Americans are obsessed with trans issues and panicking about being replaced. They think there are 21x more trans people, 27x more muslims, 15x more jews, 5x more asians, 3x more black people, and 2x more immigrants than there actually are.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" is having a real effect and you can tell it's frustrating the bots, chuds and trolls. They're in my comments trying everything they can to get people there to react -- and no one's biting. And then I swing by and chuck 'em into the cornfield and that's that.
As long as we keep a culture of disengaging and blocking trolls we actually can probably keep the vibes up.

Bluesky's option to detach from a quote post has been a great way to defuse people's sweaty Twitter training www.theverge.com/2024/8/29/24...
