This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people.

We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate

That makes the platform the future of social media

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform

Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.
The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

Das ist für mich das furchtbarste Foto der Welt (unter so vielen furchtbaren Fotos): ein kleines Kind pflückt eine Blume und gibt sie einem anderen Kind.
Minuten später werden sie alle vergast.

Das Foto ist von 1944 aus dem Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau.
