In June, 2016, I was diagnosed with chronic cancer. A few months later, the nation got basically the same affliction. Now, 8 years later, America has sadly relapsed, but I'm still here, still fighting.

There are a lot of great block lists going around which can help keep your Bluesky experience troll-free. Here is my list of accounts that I've blocked in recent days that are not on any list that I've seen. These include fascists, various grifters, and extreme left trolls:

Was Daniel Naroditsky literally bullied to death by Vladimir Kramnik?
Horrible that such a respected, talented, well liked, and clearly decent young man died so young.

Kramnik is vile. Just an evil sociopath.

With Halloween approaching, I want to point out that the most scary thing I can think of is the FACT that we have a child rapist as our President & a Congress willing to give him cover.

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

Katie Porter is one of the most overrated Dem politicians in recent history. She was always more about creating viral moments and promoting herself than actually accomplishing anything or passing legislation. Add to that her abusive treatment of her staff & coworkers. Voters should look elsewhere.

"To the extent Republicans have managed to settle on a single talking point, it’s that Dems want taxpayer $ to pay for healthcare for undocumented people — a lie so egregious even the mainstream media is balking at repeating it. It’s almost self-parodic messaging & polling suggests it’s not working"

Democrats are winning the shutdown

Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
