Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

I know people are saying it isn’t possible that Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t know who Senator Padilla was. But in her defense, she is very dumb.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” THIS is why the meat axe approach to USAID is wrong. Cuts should be surgically targeted to waste, fraud and abuse.

Trump says U.S. will take over Gaza Strip President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will take over and own the Gaza Strip, adding that "the same people" should not be in charge of rebuilding and occupying the land.

Insanity. We’re going to take over Greenland and Panama, make Canada the 51st state, gut the civil service, purge perhaps thousands of FBI agents, and now this. Are we living in a bad movie? www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

US Sen. Susan Collins says she will write in Haley, once again not vote for Donald Trump in 2024 Sen. Susan Collins didn’t vote for Donald Trump for president in 2016 or 2020, and the third time will not be the charm.

Senator Collins has never voted for Trump, and she voted to convict him in his impeachment trial. apnews.com/article/susa...

Petty but dangerous retribution is in overdrive. #unAmerican

Dear Americans who voted for Trump,

You voted to put an incredibly small, petty, pathetic, un-American person in charge. You voted to make America more divided and less secure. That’s such a shame.

Sincerely,

Your fellow American

So in Trump's Amerika, diversity, equity and inclusion are bad, and brutally attacking police officers while trying to overthrow an election is good. It may take me awhile to adjust to this new version of what constitutes success in the whole "Make America Great Again" thing.

A Trump Executive Order Sets Out What Could Be a Road Map for Retribution The order is titled “Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” but it asserts that the Biden administration might have acted illegally and directs agencies to seek evidence.

And so it begins…

I just heard a delusional President-elect Trump tell a judge that he won by a “massive landslide.” In the real world, 49.9% to 48.4%, failing even to secure a majority of the votes cast, is a winning by a whisker, not a landslide.

Starting to see more and more familiar folks popping up on BlueSky in the wake of Meta’s decision to curry favor with Trump by prioritizing misinformation over truth and making Facebook safe for hate speech. I’ll be on both platforms but unfollowing those who spread misinformation on Facebook.

Why is Bluesky allowing all the obviously fake accounts with profile photos of beautiful young women who follow thousands in an effort to get people to follow back? I’ve blocked countless ones who have tried to follow me. Does Bluesky have no quality control to ferret out scammers?

Liking the #bluesky vibe much better than Musk’s disinformation platform, but not liking the plethora of obviously fake accounts popping up here. Finding myself blocking a lot of them who try to follow me.

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

It doesn’t make sense to condemn @joemsnbc.bsky.social and Mika for meeting with Trump. He exists. And he won another term as President. Speaking with him doesn’t suddenly make them Trump sycophants. We’ll see, but I’m confident they’ll continue to speak up for truth and hold his feet to the fire.

Who? Oh, yeah, wasn’t he Vice President before Musk?

I agree with @bmeiselas.bsky.social. It’s fine to disagree, just don’t be a d*ck about it. The cesspool formerly known as Twitter places a premium on inflammatory disinformation designed to generate heat rather than light.
