So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

Bravo!
All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole.

Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

MAGA must keep their dirty mitts off our healthcare.
The MAGA Republican plan in Congress is to cut Social Security and Medicare, and repeal the Affordable Care Act, so they can give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Do not let them tell you otherwise and be prepared to fight every step of the way.

We will stop them AGAIN!

A bit more on this, from my book American Prophets: Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly-gay Episcopal bishop, officiated McBride's wedding.

He referenced the experience while preaching Sunday at the National Cathedral, saying, "I couldn't admire (McBride) more as a human and as a child of God."

I hate to repost this highly misogynist meme but I want to highlight what @ianbassin.bsky.social is saying. This is not business as usual.
In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that.

Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened.

Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.
