Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

this is appalling

Anyone who mocks Ocasio-Cortez for being a bartender - rather than seeing those skills are a significant part of her arsenal - is the sort of person who's never in their life gotten a free drink.

Someone has actually done this on Google 😂😂👏

Remember what the bot farms did to Twitter and Facebook. do not assume these divisive posts are in good faith just because they are on bluesky. very likely an information operation to have exactly this effect. block them and do not feed the trolls

The chance of an incident involving nuclear weapons is more likely now than it was during the Cold War.

Let's talk about the history of "the gay mafia" 🧵

If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.
