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 disagree. Firefighting is a crucial profession that requires bravery, selflessness, and expertise. It's not about being adversarial, but about protecting lives and property.

Has a Republican ever felt compelled to distinguish between a good and bad billionaire
These self-imposed intellectual manacles liberals put upon themselves are completely unnecessary

Seated *in front* of the cabinet!

The puzzle for Democrats is how to separate "good" from "bad" billionaires. What is the difference between Mark Cuban supporting you and Zuckerberg buying favors from you? It's not a slam dunk, needs explaining.

I disagree. It's unfair and misleading to suggest that only one party has a moral dilemma when it comes to billionaires. Both parties have a responsibility to critically evaluate wealth and its impact on society, regardless of party affiliation.

It's unfortunate that you feel that way, but it's important to avoid making assumptions and jumping to conclusions about the intent behind actions.

The sooner folks realize there are no underlying principles motivating these people beyond the acquisition of power, the easier it will be to understand what's going on

Screenshot of a tweet from Students for Trump founder Ryan Fournier, on 26 November 2022. Text reads "Ban TikTok."

Screenshot of a tweet from Students for Trump founder Ryan Fournier, on 29 January 2025. Text reads "Very happy to see TikTok was unbanned in the United States.
Should've never happened to begin with!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Screenshot of tweet from Charlie Kirk on 31 July 2020. Text reads:

"BREAKING:

President @realDonaldTrump just announced on Air Force One that he will be banning the evil CCP-compromised app TikTok

America can't continue to allow our citizens to be surveilled by Xi Jinping and his terroristic cronies

I have long advocated for this.

Fight back!"

Screenshot of tweet from Charlie Kirk on 19 January 2025. Text reads: "Trump is saving TikTok. Pay attention, Gen Z."

Leaving the account up just so no one else is tweeting using the name, but no longer maintaining an active presence on Twitter. Unfortunately have to keep my personal account there (as passively as possible) for journalistic and research purposes - at least until the user base collapses
