It is with great joy that I realize I have become noisier on Bluesky.
Thanks, everyone.

If you want an unvarnished take on the grift and like phenomena damaging our country, in my opinion, no one has explained it better than @hunterub.bsky.social did just now at Uncharted Blue. www.unchartedblue.com/epstein-trum...

Here is what responsible governance looks like in response to gun terrorism.
Tougher gun laws in response to a mass shooting?
What a novel idea!

He's seeking out cyber-hooligans to match those who populate ICE. They'll happily take their mandate to destroy and run with it.
Hoooo boy. This may be the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. (I'm also not real clear on how this wouldn't amount to state-sponsored terror, depending on where it was aimed at.)
Gotta say, I think Marcus makes an interesting point.

NONE of their people care that they are lying. It's the same problem as always. Defeating an adversary with no integrity isn't easy.

Don't worry, Indiana, the felon can't count past five, so he can't campaign against many. I suspect you will also find that him campaigning against you isn't the negative he thinks it is.

I have a friend with 45k followers. She has done a few starter packs. If you like, I will ask her to add you. She is a force in her own right, and as frustrated as anyone with the state of things. It won't get you 50k in one fell swoop, I am sorry to say. I wish.
I used Medium for a short while in 2020. But getting readers is hard. Like getting followers on Bluesky. So I don't really bother anymore. I just post what I find relevant at any given time.

I can well imagine the Canadian numbers are at least as catastrophic. How much worse will it be if this comes to pass?

Sneak peak at a fun (if ambitious) project I'm working on:
There are 38 GOP House members who won by less than 15 points *and* whose districts Trump either lost or won by less than 15 points.
I'm plugging in net #ACA premium hikes for enrollees living in all 38 of their home towns.

Did you hear @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social praised the orange stain for pardoning some Democratic criminals? Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in FOREIGN bribes. Hakeem said it’s “exactly the right outcome”.

The Republican Congress self-castrated. Under the Constitution they are supposed to be a separate and independent branch, a role they completely abdicated.
Trump said he was at war with Venezuela. Too bad congress doesn’t know or approve. Trump has castrated the Republican congress and silenced the legislature branch of our government.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social won’t pursue an impeachment because he says it’s “dead on arrival” since they have no majorities. So he’s not going to even TRY to use the power that exists in Congress. STUNNING COMPLICITY.
