US women in 2025:

Get long acting birth control, don’t delay the divorce, make sure your finances are in order and you have cash on hand, make a “go bag”, make a list of trusted contacts, make sure your passports and IDs are up to date. What else?

(Obvs, I’ve been reading Handmaid’s Tale. 😬)

Absolutely wild the GOP is carrying water for a dude depicting himself as a king in a jet dumping poo on Americans.

Impossible to take anyone still standing by Trump seriously on any topic. Mike Johnson the “conservative Christian” is just cool with this at a values level, eh?

Mmmkay.

No Kings is a chance for millions to express love for America and the values that have inspired Americans throughout its history. Those Republicans pushing lies are sad and desperate.

This government suffers from severe loser stench. Everything they say and do is a barely veiled form of "I'm the BOSS and you have to RESPECT ME!" and nobody does. Millions of people are going outside tomorrow just to say so

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · 3d

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?
