A future conversation...

"Dad, how could people want things to be so bad?"

"Well son, we used the internet mostly for porn and screaming our feelings. When it came time to look up things like "fascism" and "tariffs" I'm afraid it was a bridge too far for most."

Bluesky is amazing because I can actually follow what the f*ck is going on in the world again on a social media app. Finally.

Same with me. For over a decade, there’s never been a site to reliably curate news other than Twitter. In just the last few days, I’ve seen news break here before I saw it on Twitter.
Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space

Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen
President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.

Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

In a “post-truth” political landscape it’s imperative that we understand that while facts definitely still matter, emotions matter more.

We must wrap our arguments around stories of those impacted by what’s coming from the GOP trifecta (including our own), mold public opinion and mobilize to win.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

The Trumpification of the military has already begun

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
