Help keep Bluesky nice. Block MAGA trolls, like this one here. They don't like it, because it keeps them from spreading their hatred.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"Editor’s Note: The original version of this story mistakenly stated Newsom has chosen not to sign trans protections. It has been updated to say he has until the end of the week to act."

We are 9 months into this thing. If Nosferatu is fighting whatever this is, I'll effing take it. Long way to go.

"The broader goal is the militarization of major cities before 2026 elections... Next year, I fear that what they're gonna do is deploy these folks to polling places & say they're protecting the vote. Trump knows without these breaches of the Constitution, he's gonna lose Congress." - Gov. Pritzker

I would pay very good money to see a Bad Bunny - Stephen Miller WWE PPV matchup. Or Bad Bunny - Corey Lewandowski. I think we could fund a lot of charities with the proceeds.

Thank you for the gift link. Sobering and sad, it was definitely something else to witness the very least serious people to have ever held so much power, in front of the probably most serious group of people one might find anywhere on this planet.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

+1 for Protonmail. I have the paid version where I get to use custom domain names. Also includes VPN, Proton Password, and some other stuff. But I use then VPN and Password a LOT. I used to use VPN Express. I'm paying about the same for the Proton Unlimited.
