“Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And … foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.”

Happy Sunday BlueSky, I took this photograph from the Edge observation deck in NYC.

The thing I love about Bluesky is getting to read the comments again and getting to know your faces. We have seen so much hate over the years that it drowned out ALL sense of community. So glad to finally meet you all. 💙

Leaders around the world are sounding the alarm about Donald Trump as they increasingly worry about the United States abandoning its position as a reliable ally and a protector of democracy. And they're not holding back.

Donald Trump’s plans to reshape the federal workforce could result in up to 50,000 people losing their jobs, raising deep concerns about the future of the civil service and the potential politicization of government decision-making. Totally Pathetic

Honestly the way “the media” is tut-tutting about Bluesky must mean everyone on here is doing something right.

Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way. Narrator: it’s not.

I refuse to have A conversation with anyone that voted for Trump! Because I tried my best to tell people about how he was. But no one of my friends That did vote for them understood what was going to happen if he got elected. Now they regret voting for him. What a complete disgrace. 💙

3 A problem with tariffs that is, with imposing taxes upon the producers of foreign goods, from cars to farmers to tech companies is that they offset those taxes by increasing the prices of their goods to the American retailers who sell them. those retailers then must sell the items at a higher cost

2. The reason for this impending price hike? Tariffs. Tariffs are taxes on goods imported into the country from foreign nations and producers. Trump, in both his first administration as well as his most recent campaign to return to the tariffs will spur business production in America.

1. President-elect Donald Trump has always been seen as something of a business-friendly president, yet despite that fact, American businesses are already threatening to increase their prices when Trump takes office again in January of 2025.

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.

‘Sold our democracy out for this?’ Walmart ready to teach ‘MAGA idiots’ you play, you pay if Donald Trump delivers on his ominous promise!

Jesus Christ. Ukraine is facing a Putinist genocide and the Russian-speaking, Soviet-educated, Putinist hacker who runs the largest anti-progressive blocklist on Bluesky—signed up for by many journalists, no less!—just posted the words below. We all getting the picture now? What more would it take?

New in PN: RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat "Kennedy has articulated a vision that will, if enacted, lead to the deaths of untold numbers of people, many of whom have not even been born. It's difficult to overstate the long-term danger he poses."

His insane nominations... His promises to deploy the military on home soil... His threats to go after anyone who opposes him... Now, there are messages going out to specific communities threatening deportation and "re-education camps". It's by design. His objective is to fill you with fear ...

Donald Trump and his transition team have begun orchestrating what is being described as a “hostile takeover” of the federal government from his Mar-a-Lago golf resort, according to a new report. Look out American People Things are going to get really bad. Hitler all over again!

Anti-tRUMP voter: "that's generally how tariffs work; consumers pay the cost". tRUMP voter: "Wait ... what"? "A Walmart executive warned that President-elect Trump’s plans to raise tariffs on imports could drive the retail giant to increase the price of store items". thehill.com/business/499...

What happened here with Don Jr at the SpaceX launch today

Be aware MAGA is on here alone with Elon Musk Rat Start Blocking Them! They followed us here 💙

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky. My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation. Here are my rules why I block them: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Waiting patiently my friend 💙💙💙

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court REJECTS David McCormick and GOP lawsuit to discard Philadelphia provisional ballots. This victory ensures that 966 voters will have their ballots counted. Congratulations to Team Casey who fought and won for these voters! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Donald Trump announced on Tuesday afternoon that he will nominate TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The appointment is among a string of TV hosts — mostly from Fox News — to be chosen to join Trump's cabinet Pathetic

Sadly, Brian’s reporting is correct. Over the past week I heard from two entirely separate very reliable sources, with some vivid detail, that they are absolutely terrified of Trump.

BREAKING: Walmart Just said Trump’s Tariffs Will Cause Walmart Price Hikes in 2025

The MAGA People don’t know when to shut their mouths!💙💙💙

Ron makes a great point: if you feel you can't report Trump critically now because you are too afraid, it is best you resign. You are compromised. Now is the time where reporters must be unapologetic. Do not let Trump scare you into submission. Do not obey in advance.

Donald Trump can stamp his feet and pound his tiny fists all he wants but Joe Biden is still out president.

Let’s continue to build networks of informed, fearless resistance—both in journalism and in every corner of civic life. As we navigate this daunting path, let this dark moment also be a crucible that galvanizes hope and vision for a better future. #Bluecrew #NoDemUnder1k

Wow. Blue Sky has now also overtaken Threads in daily active users.

The Biden administration announced Friday that a $6.6 billion deal with the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to build three fabrication plants near Phoenix had been finalized, creating thousands of jobs in Arizona.

President Biden may have secured a government program that funds semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, critical for electronics companies. 🎯✅💙💙💙

One thing I am using, and would like to encourage the use of, is the "Hide reply for everyone" option. When I see MAGA trolls, I'm just hiding the reply from everyone and sending them to the block party. Fire needs oxygen to burn. Don't give it to them.
