What would happen if a platform treated people like adults? Don’t want to see this? Block it. Mute it. Scroll past it. Maybe because the people on the platform are the product, not the consumer? I don’t know. @moviessilently.bsky.social
I am begging Bluesky to please, please, please hire a comms person. They keep trying to engage people to explain why paraphrasing Johnny Cash is wrongspeak and end up looking more and more ridiculous.
Dudes. You flag Victorian trick films for graphic violence. Just. Stop. It.

Look at the numbers from yesterday. The number that keeps popping up? 60/40.
I propose this would have been the result in 2024 had voting tabulators not been compromised. Am I right about it? Who fucking knows. But let’s do some serious audits and find out. Because that was only a year ago.

We’ve been giving the wealthy too much for too long‼️ Socialism is not a radical idea‼️ It’s a humanitarian idea‼️ Americans have been convinced that socialism is bad by our government while giving all kinds of money, bail outs and tax breaks to the rich‼️

Truth
Trump was right about one thing - Democrats did, in a specific and limited manner, weaponise the legal system to try and hurt him electorally. They delayed process to ensure he was tied up in court when campaigning. He ought have been in jail before Biden was inaugurated.

Let me see if I understand.
Democrats are holding up the budget bill because it ends Obamacare subsidies. This means people’s health insurance premiums will go up ~$16k per year. That’s bad.
But this also means that the government is subsidizing HEALTH INSURANCE by $16k per person! That’s bad.

One more reason why Democrats need to take back Congress. We need hearings, subpoenas, and daylight on every back-channel to Moscow.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

One more time for those in the back: telling someone what they can or cannot say on YOUR PRIVATE PLATFORM as a private company is not censorship. Only the government can censor speech—and they are. Fuck you, YouTube. Time for a replacement.
