Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” *Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

it's kind of nuts that the Empire unveiled the Death Star, destroyed Alderaan, and had the Death Star blown up on the same day. Imagine what the memes on Star Twitter were like.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Protestors are "insurrectionists" Immigrants are "invaders" Always remember that, at its core, fascism is an ideology of weak, terrified little babies

I have been, and will continue to post this often. Your Guard, Reserve and active duty family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are going to need it. Please share far, wide and often!

Utah commissioned a review of the evidence on gender-affirming care for youth alongside its ban in 2023. The results have just recently been reported. An Assigned reporter will be reading the entire document (which the Tribune story says is over 1000 pages) over the long weekend.

Probably looking at $40b in capex, 18mos of spinup time, and reduced selection of models (no more project red or rose gold nonsense), but yes I think they could do similar gross margins at similar prices after all that, maybe even better if they vertically integrated it

Heya! If you’re in SF and want a creative space outside the home, connect with @neilsonks.bsky.social Also good for small group meetings. cc @raz.lol @ruperts.world among a few to help spread the word

twitter (formerly X) no longer has working notifications lol

ever yday is Blue Wednesday now

there’s bluesky in the south bay

@jay.bsky.team just heard you and bluesky mentioned on bloomberg live!

@daniellefong.bsky.social @drericding.bsky.social @gissisim.com NYTimes author acknowledge that "Covid alarmists" were right, while denialist (illustrated by Musk) were out of touch. Also pointing out Covid has radicalized those disconnected people. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/o...

They seem to be shadow banning people for running deep research with openai on primary sources on eg security guarantees for post soviet republics maybe it was keyword flagging or something, this is a kind of shadow ban grimes hit with when trying to get elon in medcrisis x.com/daniellefong...

hey do you guys know a good crossposting app that works with twitter and might allow me to fade in some of my previous posts / bangers? investing in some … uhh… platform diversification seems necessary. spending a lot of time being difficult at the birdsite but the writing is on the wall for me

I actually think it's important that we stop with the bullshit and admit Adrian Dittmann is obviously Elon Musk and this means Elon Musk frequently speaks to Alex Jones. It's important for people to understand that the person running the country frequently speaks to and agrees with Alex Jones.

The bs Spectator story that launched all of the dutiful and unexamined “debunked” repetition by media outlets does not hold up to even cursory scrutiny. Once you start looking it actually reveals an insane network of criminality, as well as revealing how deeply Musk is working for and with China.

This is an interesting poll. I would like to see this alongside questions like, “When did you first hear of this agency?” or “What does it do?” USAID is the new Soros simply bc a handful of bluecheck fools said some bs, did the podcast rounds, and Fox picked it up.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

oh my god

DeepSeek R1’s bold bet on reinforcement learning: How it outpaced OpenAI at 3% of the cost https://venturebeat.com/ai/deepseek-r1s-bold-bet-on-reinforcement-learning-how-it-outpaced-openai-at-3-of-the-cost/ #AI #DeepSeek (super interesting article)

hii! from that other app

“Eating the pets” was not a viral trend because people were seriously concerned about an epidemic of actual cat-eaters. People sharing that story were not like, “oh hey, the governor says it’s not true. Oops! Let me go delete my last post. Learn something new every day!” Propaganda taps outrage.

I’m thankful for everyone using Bluesky, everyone building on atproto, everyone listening to our message and sharing our dream of a better social media ecosystem that puts people first. We’re going to do this together — thanks for joining us on this journey!

bye sf see you again v soon

thankful for: coffee

It’s gonna be a long four years

You all MOCKED George Lucas and said this was boring or dumb but who’s laughing now???

the kids are asleep so i can visualize the hypertorus

this platform could have a big upgrade if you could record and drop a video message in one press, like telegram right now, you have to record in another app

what’s happening?!

had a good time in turkey, very civilized, really. headed back now, into the cacophony. reminds me of the vibes of the other site

Please please please let there be rivalries between imperial intelligence and operations sections “You didn’t have targeting authorization for that mission!” “I don’t need your authorization when I’m the only section with tasking authority!”

The cow outbreak should have been a call to action. Perhaps these indicators of the potential for human adaptation will be? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“all we care about is fairness in women’s sports! trans women went through male puberty—it’s unfair!” *moves to ban puberty blockers and early hrt, bans trans women in sports anyway*

AOC comes out swinging against Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. Part two.

Bsky has strong "getting the band back together" vibes...

shoutout to @jaz.bsky.social & more backend folks @dholms.xyz @divy.zone @why.bsky.team @bnewbold.net @bolson.org @hailey.at @pfrazee.com for keeping the backend mostly alive this week and urgently pushing the scaling plans forward, what a week it’s been

*extremely Shania Twain voice* let's go girls actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

2. First, let's clarify that Dems didn't run on trans equality. Kamala only discussed it when asked about the Trump ads, there was no trans speaker at the DNC despite Sarah McBride's trajectory, and there was no positive messaging on trans lives at all. Only the GOP was talking about trans people.
