Moving toward dictatorial control is the fundamental purpose of issuing a seemingly endless series of executive orders that clearly violate existing laws.
Trump's Plan Is to Flood the Zone With Garbage
All if it is meant to disorient and overwhelm us. The question is: How are we to navigate all that excrement?

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter
The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
