Our right to privacy is at risk. Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are involved in invasive activities that threaten our personal and financial information. We must encourage Congress to stop him NOW!

It must be nice to be “not political”.

Ignorance really is bliss, isn’t it?

Pretty sure I’m not in anyone’s “starter pack”, so I’m just over here hanging out at the nerdy kids’ table. But that’s cool. I like the nerdy kids.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally can’t wait to see this Matt Gaetz report. Feel like I might even print it out and curl up on the couch with a throw and a cup of coffee for a little light reading. ☕️ 🛋️

Democrats are too nice. It’s time for Dems to enter their “mean girl” era. I’m here for that, and have been preparing my whole life for this moment.
November 14, 2024 at 8:12 PM
I LIVE for comments, not likes.
I love the interaction and community building. And I think (at least I hope) that people that follow me feel the same way.

As for who I choose to follow, I follow people that post interesting content I like — just like everyone else. “Follow for follow” is silly.

I know people are freaking out about these cabinet picks; but I’m personally laughing my ass off. These people are complete jokes. I’m seriously going to just watch this disaster unfold while eating my popcorn and saying “I told you so” to the “democracy is dead” group
November 14, 2024 at 7:32 PM
Someone please prove me wrong about Bluesky. I feel like I’m the new kid eating my lunch alone at a corner table in the cafeteria. I haven’t felt like this on ANY social media platform in many years. Not TT, not Threads. Also, what’s with this tiny character limit?
November 14, 2024 at 3:30 PM
I really don’t understand MAGA’s obsession with little kids’ genitals. What are they going to do? Have panty-checkers in school bathrooms? Just another way GOP is providing easy access to SA children for MAGA pedos.
November 13, 2024 at 9:47 PM
Libs over on Threads are getting mean and indifferent. It’s sickening.

Seems most of them would rather wallow in their own doom scrolling and existential dread than continue to fight.

Ugh… that’s how fascists win. They make you give up.

Where my fighters at? Those are my people.

This cabinet is shaping up exactly how I thought it would. These are unserious people, incapable of governing. This is going to be a circus of infighting, back-stabbing, power struggles, and complete incompetence. Nothing of consequence will get done. I honestly can’t wait to watch it all unravel.

Women: If you’re in a relationship where your husband tells you what to do, how to vote, who to be friends with, where to go, etc. please get a divorce NOW. I promise you there are lots of REAL men out there who won’t treat you like property.

YOU. ARE. NOT. PROPERTY.

I’m just going to keep typing shit and see where this Bluesky thing goes.

Also, is verification a thing on here? I’ve been spoofed too many times to count.
November 13, 2024 at 1:35 AM
My sentiments exactly. I don’t have time for people who have given up.
If you think democracy is gone, you're not reading this: You've already abandoned social media and thrown in the towel.

Thus...since you just read this, congratulate yourself. You've decided to stay in the fight and dig in! You're my kind of person.

For what it’s worth, gay men have historically had an almost natural, innate — even primal connection with women.

We love them, support them, act as a sounding board and confidante. We’re there when needed to provide support their partners often withhold.

We’ve always been here.
November 13, 2024 at 1:10 AM
I’m still optimistic for the future of the U.S. after this administration. But I’m VERY nervous for women. Aside for healthcare, I’m almost certain they’re going to at least TRY to repeal the 19th amendment. They won’t succeed, but it’ll become apparent to ALL women that they are NOT on your side.

At this point, whenever I see a lingering Trump sign in someone’s yard, I think:

“The people that live there are bad people. They are not safe to be around. They would like nothing more than to see me hanging from the nearest tree.”

It’s NOT about “The Economy”. It never was.
November 13, 2024 at 1:02 AM
“Farmers for Trump” aren’t really farmers anymore. They’re just do-nothing welfare recipients with a bunch of land, who are happy with the fat bail outs they got (and will get again) when Trump Tariffs decimated their generational family farms.
November 13, 2024 at 1:01 AM
Guys, this joke of an administration is definitely going to get wildly racist. Just prepare for that and be ready to combat it at the local level.
November 13, 2024 at 12:28 AM
So far, I’m not loving the small character limit. I like the 500 limit on threads.
November 12, 2024 at 11:59 PM
So, what’s cooking, America? Where are we on the resistance? I know Marc Elias is busy. What are YOU doing?

Me? I’m working on the format for my new podcast. We need more old-style resist libs out there… more truth tellers.

Ok, bitches. You won. I’m here! Tell me what to do!

Ok. So what I’ve learned in my first 10 min on Bluesky is that the algorithm thinks I’m WAY smarter than I actually am. Lots of academics, scientists, etc. All talking about stuff that’s way over my head.
