The right wing bots and trolls have now breached the Bluesky gates.

Reports indicate collective IQ on the app plunges 30 points overnight and good faith arguments also see sharp decline.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump ranting about the high speed trains in the US and honest to god I don't think even he knows what he's saying

Dementia. Every day he shows symptoms.

I am so done. I don't remember a winter pounding me down like this one has. And now some MORE snow coming. DONE!

I don't think that is selfish at all. Did they give an estimate of the wait time?

Report, block & move on. @safety.bsky.app works & we don't have to put up with them.

Do what you can, where you can & as much as you can to protect Democracy. Every call to a Representative, every voice matters.

Dear US citizens,
As a Canadian, it PAINS me to see your “government,” has been taken over by THUGS who are dismantling it, looting your Treasury, usurping all your sensitive data & throwing you to the billionaire wolves.
You should be screaming on the streets like COURAGEOUS countries are doing.

Trump is going to declare martial law with or without protestors. He’s already rounding up thousands of innocent people, dismantling the government, looting the treasury, and peacefully playing golf in between. It’s now or never.

⚠️The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Canada won’t be bullied.

Trump’s tariffs are illegal, irrational, ill-considered and will hurt both countries.

We won’t stand by idly as he takes a wrecking ball to a century of partnership & free-trade.

Canada will respond & retaliate, Canadians will stand together, and we will win. #TeamCanada🇨🇦

Trump is sowing the seeds of an anti-American alliance [FREE TO READ] By targeting allies and neighbours with tariffs, the US is playing into the hands of China

QAnon and the Cultification of the American Right The conspiracy theory has become a theology of right-wing rebellion.

also I emphasize with people who feel like just describing what is going on re: American politics makes them sound "insane" (you probably aren't, also there are better words) because.... that's how it has been for some years now

As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also equating diversity with incompetence.

“His attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion aren’t about a particular program or some acronym — they’re just a sanitized substitute for the racist comments that can no longer be spoken openly."

Another day and another day Poilievre has not received his security clearance. Why? What is he hiding?

Top level security clearance should be mandatory for someone who wants to be PM. Retweet if you agree.

I am supporting Mark Carney for Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Canada’s next Prime Minister. Join me and if you support Mark like me, please retweet.

I am so done with this winter. I'm giving myself little positive talks every morning.

Only 5 days left in January.

February is short. You can do this.

2 weeks into March and the snow will start melting.

Stop being a sissy, grow up!

The last one is my usual 'positive affirmation'. Lol

I hope he listens to you!

I had a number of them blocked as "annoyances" but your list is very comprehensive. Thank you

As @premthakker.bsky.social just said to me on Slack, this Trump second speech, unscripted, to the overflow hall of supporters, ranting about Pelosi, Milley, and Cheney is the REAL speech. It's the REAL him. A petty, paranoid, insecure man, obsessed with grievances and his 'enemies.'

What’s so effed up is that Trump not just releasing but celebrating so many people who assaulted and helped cause the deaths of police officers won’t do the kind of damage to the GOP’s rep on ‘law and order’ that a mere activist slogan (‘defund the police’) did to the Dems. The bias is real, folks.

"rank and file DOGE staff" = Elon Musk

There is no staff yet. But there is, apparently, only room for one insecure attention-thirsty stunt queen at DOGE.

@cnn.com C'mon. Really?!? @jimacosta.bsky.social is an excellent reporter. You are a news organization, yes? Or, perhaps, you have become propaganda.

You’re really spoiling us: Trump miscasts Gibson, Stallone and Voight by making them mere ambassadors The president-elect’s latest trio of mischievous appointments show his genius for trolling the celebrity-woke community

Trump is going to be putting people into deathcamps and @theguardian.com is writing articles describing him as "mischevious" and "distinct genius"

fuck

Donald Trump's inauguration moved indoors due to 'dangerous' cold The last president to be sworn-in indoors was Ronald Reagan in 1985, when cold weather also plagued the US Capitol.

Since when does he give a crap about police, dogs and horses? He’s just is worried about his own fat ass freezing.
