It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful.

BREAKING: Derek Tran grows his lead to about 300 votes in California's 45th.

Democrats are on track to flip this key Congressional seat.

#BlueSky keeps winning.

Happy birthday to one of the GREATEST and most consequential Presidents of my lifetime, who deserves a TON more credit than he gets.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!! 🎉

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.

Just fyi

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Thanks for your patience as we navigated some technical difficulties today! Moving forward, the performance issues you may have noticed should hopefully be resolved.

TL;DR we're so back

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Every decision Elon Musk ever made at Twitter was intended to advantage his friends and brutalize his enemies while taking credit for events he'd nothing to do with.

He's done the same thing throughout his business career and will do the same thing throughout his political career.

He is dangerous.

Bluesky is experiencing outages for thousands of users

Bluesky has officially hit #1 on the App Store charts for Free Apps in both the UK and US.

No porn bots. No crypto scams. No blue-checkmarked trolls. Just vibes.

I wrote about the sports media’s migration to @bsky.app this week and what else needs to happen to make it stick.

The Guardian announces they're leaving Twitter (X)

“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism"

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system.

Beyond parody.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz will be the clearest signal yet of whether GOP senators are ready to do his bidding on all sorts of issues.

If Trump can get 51 votes for Gaetz, he can get a Senate majority for just about anything — like cutting back Social Security.

Be warned.

apparently one of our internet providers' fiber cable got cut this morning, and it has become our problem too. a very "dog ate my homework" excuse but it's real 🥲

thanks for your patience!

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

are we out of the woods yet? are we in the clear yet?

if Bluesky is a lil slow for you, hang tight! there were some networking issues on the U.S. east coast affecting Bluesky and other apps, but looks like they're resolving now. 💙

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!
