Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Musk’s real goal with acquiring Twitter was always to turn it into 4chan 2.0, a return to the “halcyon days” of that with extremely lax moderation and himself being the second coming of moot. He has succeeded in that goal, creating a mainstream 4chan where government agencies post like Channers.

I break with many critics of #adoption because i advocate for more than the end of secrecy. We are told that adoption provides a child with stability, but we are never told why the change of legal kinship status must be irrevocable. I believe adult adoptees should be able to annul their adoptions.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
