Here's a good recent example of what I mean, where a Democrat pushes back instead of accepting a Trump-friendly distortion as the premise.
Thanks @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social for alerting me to it, @corybooker.com for sharing/praising it, and especially @neguse.house.gov for doing it.

I’m still marveling at what we saw on Friday. And what a baseball-perfect sentence:
“When he induced a ground ball up the middle that nutmegged his legs, Mookie Betts was in perfect position to hoover it, step on second and fire to first for a double play that preserved Ohtani's goose egg.”

Looks like the “official” gov decided it was time to put their mark on Bluesky. Every single one starts out with a Hatch Act violation for a post and every single one deserves a block. Let’s make sure they have their own little echo chamber and block the shit out of them. If you see any others, add.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

10 years of obsession about what Trump supporters think & care about has warped our understanding of their size & popularity: Trump is historically unpopular, pro-democracy supporters far outnumber the object of Corporate Media’s love. Time to hear more from majority of US.
The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.
The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

I have created a spreadsheet for crowdsourcing reports of No Kings Day protest attendance. The sheet is publicly available for anyone to edit. This will not be official, but hopefully it will be comprehensive and can serve as a resource for reporters and the public. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
