ABC has just done a major disservice to ALL media outlets. They just gave Trump the green light to go after anyone who dare criticize him. Their capitulation will have chilling effects on the free press extending far beyond this incident. So irresponsible.

Despite being on Twitter for a decade and on Bluesky (actively) for a few weeks, if the current trend continues, I will have more followers here than on Twitter within a couple of weeks. Insane when comparing this to a DECADE

Maybe Tulsi Gabbard can let Assad stay at her house, since they are pals.

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.” Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋
An illustration showing a metaphorical “large high wall” separating “Church” and “State.” On the side labeled “Church,” buildings resembling places of worship are captioned “Religion goes here.” On the side labeled “State,” there are government buildings and a public school labeled “Science goes here.” The top of the image displays the text “BUILD THIS WALL.”

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

“Mr. Trump has so far declined to sign an agreement with the Biden administration that imposes strict limits on fund-raising in exchange for up to $7.2 million in federal funds earmarked for the transition. By dodging the agreement, Mr. Trump can raise unlimited amounts of money from unknown donors”

Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
