Well, here we are. Proud to say I deleted my account at the other place a few years ago after it got bought. After a long hiatus, now returning to follow the news on social media again. Happy to see the kind people of Bluesky.

Warnock: "Cynicism & despair sets in & rather than people turning toward each other they are tempted to turn on each other, & that creates just the kind of atmosphere where strong men emerge promising to solve all of our problems in one fell swoop. We have to resist that."

If people show up in big numbers in 2026 in 2028, we will. If they let doomers talk them into thinking that everything is lost, then we won’t.
You talk like we will have free and fair elections in 2028.

This thread!
what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Congressman Adam Smith on @kaitlancollins.bsky.social says "fog of war" idea of Hegseth is "idiotic." It was a 48 minute video of 2 guys hanging off boat. Video was completely clear and visible when the second sortie (3 bombs) occurred.

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.
