newrepublic.com/post/188539/...
Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%โand his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect.
A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean?
A short thread.๐งต
Poilievre's Conservative Party, per its members:
"Everybody is being watched. What we say, what we do, who we talk to. We're told not to fraternize with MPs from the other parties. And that's not normal.
Those who follow these rules are rewarded. Those who don't often have to suffer consequences."
#Bluesky traffic up by 500%, absolutely crushing Threads and X (twitter).
Millions are choosing the good place.

For us terminally online political nerds, it became obvious over the summer that *something* was happening to Twitter. Even for those of us who limit replies and rarely engaged the For You feed.
Turns out, my suspicions were real and thereโs a reason Iโm no longer a Daily Active User.
It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners.
I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette.
Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful.
