French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Sound off if you’re still adamantly and unapologetically PRO Ukraine and PRO NATO 🇺🇦
“Trump and his enablers will not experience non-stop, unimpeded success—as long as there is a vivid, consistent and courageous opposition.” Here are “two historical snapshots to remind us of the depth of commitment required to make a better future.”

He’ll forever be guilty.
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Reuniting with old Twitter friends when they join Bluesky:
Yes, it can happen here.
No, it’s not what defines America and Americans…yet.
Yes, the opposition is larger than the minority that voted it in.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky!
18M users? 🙂↔️ 18M friends 🙂↕️
whiteboard with MUST: - 10k user signups - view post on web - app store - other pds federate - 3p labels/services etc
A whiteboard from our Jan 2023 team retreat where I wrote down our goals, and the top one was “10k user signups.”
We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.
Alas I did.
Releasing the Gaetz ethics report would “breach protocol”? Really, Mike Johnson? Who cares? It must be released, leaked, whatrver. This is an emergency.
Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!
With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:
The purpose of Trump’s picks are not only to dismantle the government and kowtow to him, but to humiliate senators who would confirm these people while knowing full well how unfit they are.
A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Here's the post mortem no one's brave enough to write: We actually have a very clear and recent example of how a party comes back from a clear and convincing electoral defeat, and that's the way the Republicans adapted to their loss in 2020.
I have to agree - this is a nice place.
“Let’s not be surprised…let’s not wonder why he would choose people who would significantly weaken key institutions of our democratic system…this is not about building the future, but about ripping apart the world most Americans rely on for safety & security.” www.americaamerica.news/p/let-us-not...

What should I binge watch?
My comments in this Salon piece: Forget "the tired and wrong notion 'we' are better than this...Yes, fellow Americans, it can happen here...Plenty will just want to disengage from the body politic, but that’s how Trump and his enablers succeed."

There are so many of you joining right now that things may temporarily glitch! If you’re seeing “invalid handle”, this is probably one of those things — see this thread for more information.
