I think I’m going to get back into the practice of law. Seems like a lot of fun litigation is erupting, and I don’t want to miss out.

This is how you do it...

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

VICTORY! Federal Court (Finally) Rules Backdoor Searches of 702 Data Unconstitutional Better late than never: last night a federal district court held that backdoor searches of databases full of Americans’ private communications collected under Section 702 ordinarily require a warrant....

VICTORY! After over a decade, a federal court has declared that warrantless backdoor searches of US person’s communications collected under Section 702 of FISA is unconstitutional.

Courage begets courage.

Trump Withdraws from Paris Agreement (Again): What This Moment Means for Climate Action Trump has pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement (again) — but here’s how the US can still fight the climate crisis.

Shame on any member of Congress who meets with a recalcitrant, pardoned seditionist. Even if they can't feel the shame, we know this can't be tolerated in a democracy.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

The Coultergeist makes me feel like I’m living in an upside down world.

AOC is saying the right things and mostly taking the right votes, but what's also refreshing is--again--that contempt. she finds these people an insult to all of our dignity. it's so refreshing.

This.

Seriously, Blue Sky…give us notifications. I need to see when my folks post. That’s what made the old Twitter so useful: I didn’t have to spend my day online. I was notified when my friends (or foes) posted. It’s also how I kept up with news.

We need notifications. Please.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

AOC 🔥🎯

How is America, a country that’s been insanely proud of the fact that we beat the Nazis in WW2 being overtaken by Nazis? It makes no sense and absolutely blows my mind.

Are they asking everyone to not believe their own eyes and ears ?

When you just love free speech

Free speech absolutists

You just have to look at this to see what it is.

And if you’re explaining this away, then you’re an asshole and probably a colossal piece of shit.
