Well guys I’ve come to the conclusion tonight that BlueSky isn’t for me either. I’m not overly surprised because so many people are from Twitter, which was toxic even before Musk took it over. Within the span of like 4 days on here my mental space is about like it was before I left twitter +

There is no "returning to normal"--normal is gone. You have to build a new future or it will be built for you.

If you voted for someone who took away my kid's cancer screenings, don't make the mistake of thinking we're still friends.

Are liberals capable of not saying things like “we need immigrants to pick our crops and take care of children”?
Go fuck yourselves
And also thank you for revealing your true nature

The politick of the white liberal is “save yourselves.”

It is all of us. Or it is none of us.
And that is EVERYBODY is suffering right now. Everyone is scared.
B/c yall thought you could throw people off the lifeboat

Radical left: all humans should have their basic needs met
Right wingers: anyone that’s not white should be jailed, deported or killed
Centrists: both sides make compelling arguments

If you see some poor person in a red state - even a complete MAGA chud asshole- lose their home to climate change and your first reaction is "Haha, fuck around and find out, Trumper!" I think you're too far gone down the "politics is a sport on TV" rabbit hole to ever truly develop class solidarity.

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent.
All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?"
Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

🧵 Here's the thing. To really "resist" you have to do more than rant on social media. You need to change your consumer habits. Start with tech:
-boycott Meta and Twitter
-install an operating system like Ubuntu
-use open source software like LibreOffice
-use Firefox and Duck Duck Go

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.
Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

Funds for fight against HIV/AIDS paused in Trump aid freeze
The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, is credited with saving 25 million lives worldwide and has long enjoyed bipartisan support.

“Remember, when the cops come calling, what do you do?” “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
With all this worry over ICE, I think it's important to dust off the ole advice. DON'T TALK TO POLICE. That's all.

Fun how all the platforms get less fun, less interesting, and less usable as they get more right-wing and more dedicated to sucking up as much of our time and scamming us as much as possible.

Now, I always say there is a difference between talking about a bill and introducing a bill and a gulf of difference between that and it being seriously considered and a further gulf between that and it passing, but in this environment and in this state, given its recent history, I am watching this.
Among a list of other immigration policies, Gov. Bill Lee is proposing a felony charge and removal from office for local elected officials who vote in favor of sanctuary city policies in Tennessee.

They choose this. They choose this. They choose this. Melania. Usha. Ivanka. They are adults and they choose all this. They can leave at any moment, and every day they are still choosing this. They are not victims, they are henchwomen.

Either way we’re in unprecedented times.
Even this social media platform isn’t safe.
Organize locally, and truly fight by getting information out and mobilizing for 2026 elections.
Pressure democratic leaders to grow a ballsack and challenge Trump’s admin instead of staying quiet.

“Oh you think there’ll be elections in 4 years” is kind of the cope of disillusioned and despondent liberals who don’t want to admit that yeah there probably will, they’ll be in a good position to win, and they still will run just a dogshit candidate who might lose.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

If we could get PS4 & 5 to allow us to upload images to Bluesky or something that would be great. I’m glad they don’t support Nazitter but I miss being able to get my screenshots easily— Come on Sony!
