Mocking Trump is a good way to resolve the debate over whether liberals should resist him indiscriminately or choose their battles. It’s always worth belittling him! www.offmessage.net/p/poke-the-b...

New from me: Trump is a lame duck, an old, tired, easily manipulated one, whose vanity is a useful tool. Foreign leaders like Claudia Sheinbaum are right to mock him, and American elites should uncurl from the fetal position and get in on the fun.
Poke The Bear
Donald Trump is a lame duck (not a bear)—an unusually weak one, in some ways—and he knows it.

I have 100 more sources to add—outlets not here yet—but hopefully you can already see that metajournalism relies on cross-indexing the work of institutions (corporate, government, nonprofit); journalists who aggregate video (e.g. Rupar) or fellow metajournalists who cite their sources (e.g. Maddow).

And so it begins.
Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!

Violence continues into the 5th day in Tbilisi as protesters clash with the increasingly brutal Russian-backed government.
A week after the Moscow puppet regime canceled European integration in favor of Russia's old world kleptocracy, protests have only intensified.

@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?
