Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

This would disenfranchise me as it requires voting in person for foreign residents, including active service people stationed outside the US. You better BELIEVE I’m making noise about it!

Time to call your Senators and tell them they must oppose this blatant voter suppression tactic. (202) 224-3121 This doesn’t solve an actual problem. It creates an(other) utter lack of accountability for those currently holding office. Melt their phones.

The SAVE Act just passed. Every vote for the SAVE Act was a vote to disenfranchise Americans. #saveact

a variant of “everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about” is “sometimes a coworker is nodding and listening on the walk to coffee while responding to dm scams”

call congress to reject the SAVE Act! 202-224-3121 The SAVE Act, at its core, aims to disenfranchise voters and undermine U.S. democracy.

My husband just texted me there's a downhill skier called Breezy Johnson in the same year that the ski jumpers are in trouble for letting out the crotches of their suits and this cannot be true?!

Good morning youtu.be/k80nQyBjmyo?...

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Post a banger that’s not in English youtu.be/lqvzDkgok_g?...

the bushes were people 😂

Dan Kaszeta FRHistS My own experience, which is not inconsiderable, allows me to put out Captain Dan's Tear Gas Laundry guidelines. Specifically, this is for your street clothing that has been exposed to tear gas in smoke/aerosol/dust/particulate form. A small thread 🧵

Can someone in Greece elaborate on ‘Hat?’

Turning Points and Authoritarian Escalations Is America’s descent into autocracy accelerating or is the Trump regime struggling to break through the democratic defenses? In Minneapolis, the tenets of the white nationalist worldview are being refuted. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

Me every morning in this fucking country

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Can't say too many times: Bolts and @taniel.bsky.social are really the best thing to happen to political reporting in the last decade at least. This stuff matters so much and gets so little attention.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

you don’t gotta use ai man this stuff is just out here for free

This is a great way to filter your thoughts around connection as you try to find your people in *gestures wildly* all this.

why isn't there creamed corn with electrolytes? what are we afraid of

Listen to your boy! Using Vote from Abroad today: - both registers you and requests ballots for ALL (primaries, specials, generals, etc.) 2026 elections - identifies you as a UOCAVA voter and special protections and deadlines will apply - clarifies what you need to avoid disqualifying deadlines

big day for redacted thoughts

Trying to destroy community and connection in every possible sense.

DO. NOT. FUCKING. DO. THIS.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

New year, new to-do—done! If you’re a U.S. citizen living abroad, it’s time to re-register to vote for the new year. I just spent 7 painless minutes on votefromabroad.org, and my registration is already on its way to my election official. Why not start the year with your voice counted?

What people (yes, Dem leaders but more friends and family) say about this criminal attack will matter a lot because the voters who end up deciding elections don't know what to think. I think a winning message is, "We don't want dictators anywhere—in Caracas, Kyiv, Moscow, or DC." archive.ph/F8pyr

Yo! @votefromabroad.bsky.social is holding live voter assistance zoom sessions for US voters abroad on Jan. 6 & 10. New to the process, hitting a snag or want to get involved in voter support? These sessions are for you! www.votefromabroad.org/voter-support/

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

Any other MI voters having problems calling @slotkin.senate.gov's DC office? I keep getting bounced by her VM system. I hope it's because the thing is full to bursting, but there's no indication of why the disconnection is happening.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Dem primary debates should be pretty short, I kinda just have the one question

Trump just started an illegal war with Venezuela If you wanna make some calls 👉 5calls.org/issue/trump-... www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

This is the way. Elected officials, no matter how great the campaign or image, aren’t rock stars, they’re public servants. When they fall short of their responsibilities, they should hear about it. Voting is choosing who you’re going to yell at and about and hoping you won’t need to do it too often.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Gonna head outside at midnight because I want my face to be the last thing 2025 sees before it dies.

Tbf, if a rat crawled under my hat and started controlling me, I wouldn’t even care. Take the wheel, rat daddy

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

I love Prince because he would get really strident about social problems in his music but half the time the social problems are like “space shuttles exist” or “numerology has fallen out of fashion”

Didn't plan to watch this all in one go, but Pitzer's analysis and Coates's perspective were so sobering (but not in a huge bummer way) that I just mainlined it. It really clarifies the work for 2026. Thanks @andreapitzer.bsky.social and @thefarce.org.
