Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.” She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line. By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year. Numbers are fun.

There are so many of us who are prepared to fight that I started a second pack. Please follow these resisters and share the pack! go.bsky.app/S11qNVC

This is what “don’t comply in advance” looks like

We could house the homeless, feed the hungry, provide medical care, fund schools, eliminate student debt (including lunches as well as loans), but rich people ‘ yacht money……

My rural town uses Facebook for most business and town knowledge. Which is annoying on its own. I had to look something up and could only get the info there. I haven’t logged since election night. Why is it filled with so much TERF garbage. Why is it so hard to treat people kindly?

THREAD: Since a lot of folks are noting that they found Mangione a lot faster than they found the J6 pipe bomber, I thought I'd remind everyone about a few crucial tidbits about the pipe bomber investigation. 1/

Don’t let them fool anyone again.. They are scared. They didn’t think they were vulnerable. It’s a class war, not a culture war.

It's not the Robin Hood story folks wanted but attractive, well-heeled young guy who had back surgery, unrelenting pain to the point of impacting his mental health. He withdraws from his peeps, eventually goes to a dark place, and eventually takes it out on insurance CEO. Still relatable.

egg nog can go fuck itself

No war but class war.

This is gross. This is awful. This is a nightmare.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Nick Fuentes got arrested for battery tough shit bro ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oops I mean how terrible for Nick Fuentes

I am also a TERF free zone. Fuck all the way off with that.

Do we though? Pretty sure we don’t.

This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.

A little blockity action this morning. bsky.app/profile/simo...

Someone on LinkedIn posted "the death of an executive is a tragedy. Millions of denied claims are a statistic."

Here. I fixed the typo. I blame the iOS 18 autocorrect. It’s garbage.

Good morning, BlueSky. What’s in store on today’s episode of This Fresh Hellscape?

When your mutuals don’t retweet your mediocre tweets

I love learning a new thing! I knew this was what we are experiencing, but now i know what it’s called! Time to sound like I’m smarter than some others in circular arguments. Thanks @danbongard.bsky.social You’re a peach!

Sooooo if it’s CEO being targeted by gun violence instead of children will we finally see some sort of movement on gun legislation?

“Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding.”

A BlueSky side effect i wasn’t prepared for: I’ve engaged with people on varying topics and gotten involved. It’s nice to develop connections that are more than surface level. It’s weird how social media kept people entwined in drama instead developing community.

Take notes, y’all. Reaction need to be swift and loud. We can no longer rest comfortably with the notion that it will all work out. The people protested, and the lawmakers that blocked this from happening were helped by the boots on the ground. Make them need us more than we need them.

Biden didn’t pardon Hunter until Trump said he would appoint Kash Patel as head of the FBI. Kash Patel has openly admitted he would abuse the power of law enforcement to go after Trump’s enemies. Why doesn’t anybody recognize that the person who is breaking norms and abusing power is TRUMP?

I mean, anytime in the last 20+ years would have been better but act now so we don’t have to react later.

“it’s time we made the internet about people talking directly to people again” -Meg Bashwiner, Welcome to Nightvale outro I really feel like this is what has happened with BlueSky, and i love it.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Pay attention to the people in power, on all sides, that are speaking ill about Hunter Biden’s pardon. The notion that the president should not only sacrifice his son, but also serve him up to those that have nothing but vengeance and cruelty in mind speaks to their characters.

My day: 1. Educating my daughter about the reality of the kkk. She had heard a joke. 2. A full explanation on the word hysterical. 3. Why should she had to do homework when she heard she won’t have any rights after the inauguration. Talk to your kids about uncomfortable things.

This quote

I get it mutual who never interacts with me, I'm intimidated by my rizz too

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

MAGA alert. 🚨

During a discussion, I posed the argument - in this timeline, sometimes doing the wrong thing for the right reason is the right thing, when the wrong people always intend on doing the wrong thing. I’m sure there is a word or phrase for that, but for a moment i felt brilliant.

I've been writing about it a lot, also calling & writing every representative but I feel like it falls on deaf ears. Everybody's in "let's move on" mode. One last hope: citizens in PA can ask for a recount - it takes three people per county so ppl have been amplifying that on different platforms

Talk to children, even about the uncomfortable things. They know more than we think about what’s going on in the world. Educate them. Prepare them for the ugly things they are going to hear from their peers. Let their opinions be born of fact, not playground chatter and podcasts.

We need to stop centering ourselves, and see that one big step forward is dismantling systems of oppression and control within yourself.

Well that sounds about right.

Ohio folks - there is so much happening. The people voted. They don’t care. Stay vigilant and keep the pressure on.
