It is for moments like these, a geriatric demented fool annointing himself king, that the 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 was enshrined in our Constitution. It is our right to bear arms against the tyranny of a would be monarch.

Kind of telling that rightwingers get furious when you mention leaving for Bluesky… but those on the left couldn’t care less if conservatives left our feeds. Almost like Republicans know that the value of a platform comes from having the left there.

For those asking why: This launch would have been detected by the US in real-time. It could have looked to us like Russia was nuking Kyiv. Russia wanted to make sure we didn’t jump to that conclusion and attack them.

Matt Gaetz stepping aside is a huge embarrassment and black eye for Donald Trump, who has only been President-elect for two weeks. And now that Gaetz is gone, we can focus on Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and the rest. We’re just getting started.

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.
