Voter fraud is not a real problem. Our problem isn’t non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. The real problem is American citizens not voting in our elections. And our even bigger problem is voter suppression.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "Bad Bunny's halftime show... This is what a community is. People who did not speak Spanish and have never been to Puerto Rico saw that elderly woman serving a drink and the kids dancing with their grandmas... There's room for everybody here. That I think is where we win."

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling. Got to have an impromptu celebration IRL tonight with @ottergoose.net and @jjindc.bsky.social🙏.

A human rights crime is unfolding, largely hidden from sight. Venezuelans are being shackled & flown to Guatanamo. Trump said ‘Gitmo’ was for the “worst of the worst”. Well, many have no criminal record at all. One person’s crime was riding a bike on the wrong side of the road. 1/

Having covered Tesla when it first started I can say unequivocally that company would never have existed without government subsidies. NPR on the other hand gets 98-99% of its revenue from non-governmental sources. But go off, Goebbels.
Musk tweet: "Defund NPR. It should survive on its own."

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?
