This admin has def been effective dulling my senses, if I get up in the morning and read no potentially catastrophic world ending news I’m like cool things going well today

“Flooding the zone” has been one of the most successful political strategies of all time

It’s insane that stories like this are just common everyday news now

Everything about the way ICE acts has always been 100% predictable to anyone who has ever interacted with an overzealous mall cop

It’s crazy to think the current version of the USA is hosting the World Cup and Summer Olympics

It is obviously because they blew up all the drug boats

The President of the United States is apparently posting fake AI videos criticizing political opposition and if the news even bothers to report this the general reaction will be something like “oh yeah no surprise from Trump” he’s totally succeeded at flooding the zone with idiocy

Can’t believe we’re all gonna have to seriously discuss Italygate now

Yep, I’m in the same place. And also will gladly take a Nazi over Susan Collins if that’s the choice.

The truth distilled

Always stay strapped and never kneel to the tyranny of Feds, unless you’re documenting Fed tyranny in which case you should def be smart and not be armed

Imagine how great it must feel to be rejected for not meeting qualifications of any law enforcement agency, maybe not even passing security guard requirements, then getting a big bonus and carte blanche to be as violent as you want and ignore those arrogant police who said you weren’t good enough

This will keep happening as long as we have forces deployed to our cities with orders and attitudes to treat American citizens as enemy combatants for filming, protesting, or even being annoying pains in the ass making agents’ jobs harder

Hopefully his death was not in vain

This crap isn’t even flying with many of their supporters now, at some point all but the most diehard realize their eyes aren’t the ones lying every time

This thread is 100% correct and the admin is salivating at the idea of this taking place

DHS is waiting for this footage before coming up with their story

This Will Stancil arc is amazing

Bukele’s prisons aren’t gonna fill themselves

There’s a lot of truth in “establishment Dems” having some different out of date priorities than much of the base now. But I’d bet a ton ICE funding is slashed under any future Dem admin.

Trump running in 2028 has gone from 0% in my head to something slightly higher

I just want to thank Elon Musk for making comedy legal again

Pretty great time to run around town doing whatever you want in a police costume and mask!

Putting aside the chilling free speech issues at hand, one of the stupidest things about this cancellation rampage is the vast majority of “celebration” cancel list posts I’ve seen aren’t even celebrating Kirk’s death, just sharing realities of his rhetoric etc

Just a reminder these birthday book letters are things these guys sent not knowing who might see them, this is the stuff they felt comfortable sharing

Top posts for Anisimova search are still all 1-3 days old even though she played in the final this morning. Wonder if there’s anything Bluesky could do to cultivate more active sports chat here, I think that would help the site in general.

Sydney Sweeney and Cracker Barrel “controversies” illustrate the power and effectiveness of the coordinated RW media ecosystem from chats and Twitter directly up to mainstream media

I mean it’s fascist authoritarianism bullshit so it’s not funny, but also this video is very unintentionally funny

I wonder if any old school SF people follow me who can identify where this is from

They fooled me the first 864 times, I’m not falling for it again and thinking this Epstein thing might have any actual impact on Trump

Trump nonstop hammering about “fake news media” and “TDS” and “hoaxes” etc has paid huge dividends in the way he’s covered

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social pls cobble together $535M with a few friends and kick off your 2028 campaign funding NPR, PBS, and local tv and radio stations

One thing I think could really help Bluesky is if people stopped posting screenshots from X over here

Feels like Bluesky and users should hype up Feeds functionality more than they do, it’s a great way to consume and discover content

Maybe Peter Thiel really is the guy behind everything

Obv RW twitter hates NYC mayoral results. But it’s crazy how Zohran performance is delight and hope for the future for Bluesky Dems and despair from many Twitter Dems.

Ironically Padilla and Trump are now both saying the same thing about undocumented workers

A lot of people who complain about Bluesky also complain about how much they hate X and Insta and TikTok and other algo driven feeds and wish they had just a full firehose of content from users they follow

There are millions of undocumented in Florida, Texas, and across the Midwest — yet Trump admin focused on creating spectacle in California, it should be obvious to all what their real priorities are

Time for Coco Gauff to close this out, let’s go!!!

Trump pulling Elon’s security clearance would be the cherry on top

$15B+ spat

Ok where are all the Republicans in disarray articles?

Good news, finally a secure, reliable, and trusted platform for all your most sensitive and critical comms

“Things can’t get any dumber” never turns out to be true

It’s very funny that X starting breaking left and right the moment Elon got back actively involved with it

Great threads to click through here re: RW vs “mainstream media.” Stupidest part to me is when RW influencer types really want to highlight something as big and important they always cite the most mainstream of sources as real proof.

I hear Susan Collins is starting to get more concerned

Great point. We could have free, honest elections that a new Democratic administration wins. But even if international partners trust and believe everything that admin says they still need to act taking into account everything could flip right back in 4 years and now they’ve seen what that can mean.

Even smart people are getting dumber now thanks to the constant barrage of yapping from some of the absolute dumbest people around in positions where you can’t totally avoid listening to what they say
