X Lost Record Number of Users After Election Day
X saw record traffic after Election Day, but 115,000 people still hit the delete button. X's loss is Bluesky's gain; the site just topped the 15 million user mark, up from 9 million in September.

Utterly shameless action by the NC GOP state legislators trying to force Governor Cooper to veto Helene relief or concede power. What a despicable power grab using disaster victims as pawns.

Even if they Pod Save libs *are right* (big if) that anti-trans sentiment swung the election, the idea that we should abandon justice when it’s unpopular is so repugnant and regressive I can’t even get my mind around it. We fight for justice because it’s right, not because it’s popular.

I hate to ruin this place for everyone, but tomorrow the house is voting on HR 9495, which would give the executive branch the power to--without due process--designate any org "terrorist-supporting" and deny it non-profit status. Call your reps now.
