If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.
In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Between a random Portland barista saying he wants to hurt Charlie Kirk and the President of the United States calling for the execution of Democrats, both sides clearly have a violence problem
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

It’s called morals
The dynamics within the Democratic Party are just different from the GOP here, which Trump and Comer don’t seem to have figured out

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

The NYT is gas lighting us that raping children was not actually bad twenty years ago.
I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

I’m uncomfortable with 30% of the population with homicidal tendencies.
New Reuters/Ipsos poll shows only 29% of Americans support Trump’s policy of using the US military to execute suspected drug traffickers without court involvement.

Then there is the corporate wing of the GOP who hate the ACA because it removes a worker’s dependency on the company for health care.
they understand insurance. the entire premise of libertarian opposition to mandatory insurance is that they should not have to care about anyone else and be permitted to take risks. it's the same opposition to vaccination and taxation.
they are bad neighbors.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
