NEW: Inside the Trump Administration's Bluesky Invasion

Spoke with some administration officials who said the move was about "reaching new audiences." It's amounted to trench warfare.

I wish I had saved the transcript from my interaction with an airline AI service representative today! “AI Slop” is too kind to describe what this AI bot vomited at me today.

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.

But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.

Jesus = "No Kings."

Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the Dept. of Education would eliminate the team that helps families navigate their children’s special education rights, and ensure their kids receive the services they need. An education policy researcher explains how this will affect children:

Trump administration’s layoffs would gut department overseeing special education, eliminating parents’ last resort

All children have the right to an adequate education. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services helps parents navigate their children’s educational needs.

My rationale for blocking them

1. Trump regime needs to know more accounts are blocking them than following them.

2. Doom-scrollers react to worst skeets designed to incite or divide people, I don’t want to see a continuous feed pointing out how ugly and divisive MAGA is. This, I know.

It’s not an assumption. It’s verified truth. There’s not a “good faith” cell in their body.
