Travis Mitchell @travismitchell.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Why has the FBI director's book "The Plot Against The King" been mocked so little here on Bluesky? Because its portrayal of Donald's royal pretensions and Kash's alcoholism hits too close to home? 120
Travis Mitchell @travismitchell.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Excellent article on why it is a mistake to withhold your vote (at this time, in the US). It doesn't discuss, or note in passing, why there are only two viable US parties. A similar essay on this separate topic would complement this one nicely. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverge...en.wikipedia.orgDuverger's law - Wikipedia 120

It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play.
