VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

YouTube video by TED Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The danger of a single story | TED

Glad to be here, moving on from X. For my first post, sharing this wise video from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who advises us to reject the single story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ih...

Your regular reminder that spending the night on a sidewalk should not be only way to watch, in real time, the institution that heads up 1/3 of our federal government.

i love how all the trolls on twitter were like “if you don’t like it here then leave” and then we did and they’re like hey wait where did u go can i come

Trump’s FBI nominee: We are going to prosecute the media.

The media: Why won’t Democrats stay on Trump supporting social media?

YouTube video by Ben Wikler Unite. Fight. Win.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

Yep! Voters need to understand that there is a high price for their ignorance and apathy.

tell drake. i want him to know it was me. i played that shit 837283 times

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

Remember two months ago when stern fact checks were being issued to Kamala from the media for linking Donold to Project 2025? God remembers.

finally a reasonable take

I’m old enough to remember there was some lady (I think she was like Black and Indian or something) who told us he was gonna do this and it would be bad

friendly reminder that a platform where the algorithm is being openly manipulated by a red-pilled egomaniac billionaire is also an echo chamber

NYT headline: "Trump's trade agenda could benefit friends and punish rivals"

This is a _very_ friendly way to discuss massive corruption, @nytimes.com

Twitter still hasn't given me the download of my content. Likely because they've been swarmed by God knows how many thousands doing the same.

Popped in today & it was just men calling women whores for... having jobs and dating.

I never want to be around that energy ever again. I like it here.

whenever twitter servers went down it was stupid but when bluesky servers go down it’s just cute. like awe sorry we love you so much we know you’re doing your best

Starting to settle in with this BlueSky place… love the feeling of positivity versus the other place…

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Not to ruin the wonderfully positive vibes on this site, but is anyone else here concerned that American society, politics, and culture have become morally and psychologically addled?

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

Bullshit. If I had wanted power, I would have kept my mouth shut.

I preferred my conscience.

Thank you

Oddly, you never hear Fox News viewers criticized or even questioned for inhabiting a hermetically sealed bubble. It’s almost as if this entire canard is about the right’s ability to infect, infest, and dominate us.

Tweet from Gunther Eagleman from July showing pictures of fires from the BLM protests saying This is how Democrats will peacefully protest when President Trump wins…

Sorry Gunther. Democrats don’t try to overturn elections by rioting. That’s your side.
