It’s going to be an interesting test case to see if an entire administration can govern for four years based entirely on vibes and (literal) shitposting. Honestly nothing else. Nothing to improve the economy, quality of life or national safety. Entirely focused on dicking around on twitter.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

The one in June was huge but this one was probably twice as huge. Everyone loves to hate these motherfuckers. Everyone is so energized by the idea of defeating them

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces.

It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…
