📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

"Ronald Reagan was a mercantilist" is one of the most "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." I can think of.

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

The idea - one that I bought for a while - that Musk would get bored with X and sell the platform to some bland mega-corp is probably dead. He's in it for the long haul. And why not? Owning the nerve center of American politics makes him the most powerful person alive today.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

Hey Tom, saw you on MSNBC earlier today.
That conversation was a bit unnerving.

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

gotta admit that I did not anticipate “this is even worse than not endorsing”

There is absolutely a difference.
If Jeffries had refused to endorse, he could have made the case that there was some principle involved (even if it was the wrong principle).
This is cowardly, opportunistic, and demonstrates the complete lack of principle that disgusts many of us longtime Dems.

looking forward to people insisting that there's no difference at all between
Jeffries endorsing late and not endorsing.
making up a guy in advance is always a little risky but I feel good about my chances here

i am even willing to cede that it's *possible* he was straight-up too dumb to realize that it was a hardcore Nazi tattoo until recently, but I also think that means you are therefore too dumb to be a senator

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 6d

we're not talking about a generic skull and crossbones tattoo here - Graham Platner's tattoo appears to be a straight-up 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf.

not subtle!

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

bluesky is an even weirder place than twitter. does my post say we should repeal Obamacare

does it say that the institutionalist instinct to devote so much emotion to defense of it rather than sympathizing with what it didnt/still has not fixed (for many) is misplaced?

yes. and i stand by that

just the opening paragraph! a prosecutor...is texting a journalist about a huge high profile case they have ? I'm of course an idiot rube who knows nothing but ...wow!

Lindsey Halligan—the top prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia—was texting me. As it turned out, she was texting me about a criminal case she is pursuing against one of the president’s perceived political enemies: New York Attorney General Letitia James.
