"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good."

Retort:

Don't accept mediocrity just because it's easier.

No one is demanding perfection.

We're demanding better.

There's a reason we have a stairway to heaven and a highway to hell paved in good intentions.

Good requires effort and is hard work.

First I was annoyed the user base was making Bsky a complete Twitter Facsimile.

Now the CEO's following the same path. Welp, looks like another place to log out from and never return.

So let me get this today’s drama right:

* Jay followed noted transphobe Jonathan Chait
* Blacksky user Link pointed that out that’s fucked up after the past week
* Link was banned on Blueskys appview presumably by Jay
* But Link is also hidden from Blacksky b/c it still uses said appview

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

I would say that among people I know the primary two positions are "freak out" and "ignore this" and you will be shocked to know i think neither of those are the right move, but both are understandable. I think this is worth closely monitoring, without losing your shit over it.

further update about the specific mechanisms they want to use to attack anti-fascists (not just "antifa" but anti-fascists more broadly)

Protect Journalism Online Efforts to undermine First Amendment rights on the internet and to censor online content are a fundamental threat to the free press.

Tell Congress not to grant itself the power to censor information about its members on the internet.

Use our new, easy action center tool to stop lawmakers from sacrificing transparency for a false sense of security.

At least 3 injured in shooting outside Evergreen High School At least three people from Evergreen High School are in critical condition after a shooting involving and “active assailant,” Jefferson County officials said.

Talk about this. Not about the thumb.

And there's not much in my life that I'd want to share with untold numbers of strangers (who knows how many of them are bots).

I really never thought I'd get to the point where I look at the internet and just go "What's the point? It's like swimming in a landfill - all you're gonna get is filthy."

I don't post much anymore. Everytime I get the urge, I end up deleting whatever I've written. It feels pointless. Nothing I say is going to give anyone any sort of epiphany. A small voice against quite literally a multi-billion dollar propaganda machine and decades of indoctrination. It's impossible

So excited to play this.

DEVELOPING: Mayor Michael Vargas just told Perris, CA residents to shelter in place and ignore door knocks—ICE is sweeping the streets.

This country’s war on immigrants is a war on all of us. Don’t look away.

The worst part of everything is how many people I know who are just channeling their inner ostrich... The news is too much for them, so they turn it off.

Like if they ignore fascism long enough, it'll go away.

TBH it's pretty much everyone.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

ICE is staying in hotels and these hotels are staffed by people who hate and fear ICE.

Hotel staffers are diming these nazis out as soon as they arrive. So can you imagine how ICE's food and drinks are being prepared?

It'll be fascinating to see if Democrats actually even sort of mean it this time after their own started getting dragged away instead of just never mentioning it again like AOC after 2020

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I'm beyond done with this nonsense.

What Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets Do to the Human Body So-called “less-lethal” weapons like those that have been used against demonstrators in Los Angeles can cause severe, lasting harm like nerve or brain damage or blindness. They can also kill.
