I figured out a fast way to follow folks back! If you like this post, I can bring up the list of everyone who liked it and follow back with one click. So like this post, but remember that there’s limits on follow backs. But I’ll do my level best!

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Rich beyond your wildest dreams

I like this. To me, I hear flavors of Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers, David Bowie, and Kinks.

Thank you so much for listening!! 🫶
Very much appreciated!
✌️😊🤘

I have a scary joke about math but I’m 2² to say it.

NEW: DA Alvin Bragg is refusing to throw out the 34 felony count conviction of Trump but is putting the case on hold for now. He indicates he will fight any Trump motion to dismiss.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

It’s weird how our elections are only “rigged” when they lose.

There you have it. Texas is the first state to officially offer up their state for the concentration camps

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted.

Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters!

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.

Ukraine is winning.

All a defending country has to do, is defend.

1000 days and Ukraine still defending

Slava Ukrainii

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Tweet from the first openly transgender member of congress.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

WOW. folks!

Thrilled to say that I just finished following back 2,000 of you in just one week, and I'm still going strong!

ALSO -- I just noticed I'm 3,600 away from 200K!

Thank you for joining me on this ride, let's stay strong, fight fascism, and start winning again! 🙏💪
