After a whirlwind 2025, we took a pause to reflect on what 2026 might bring, and how Bluesky can help build the sort of future we all want to see online. Check out a few of our predictions, and let us know if you agree: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

In 2025, as Bluesky grew from 25M to 42M users, we took actions to keep it welcoming, using proactive design to reduce toxic content by 79%.  Our 2025 Transparency Report shares how we're building a safer platform while keeping a transparent and human-centered approach: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Nearly 100 explicit images involving minors were reportedly released unredacted in the DOJ’s Epstein files dump, despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring victim protections. Abusers names were redacted and all of this seems intentional. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AWg179DVsQpy...

Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe. The cruelty is endless.

NEW: Fulton County officials are probing whether an FBI agent intentionally misled a judge to raid Fulton County’s main election hub. If left unchecked, county officials argue that the agent's suspect claims could hand the Justice Department untold powers to seize election-related records anywhere.

Don't be naïve. There is a reason why the only Dem who Trump shook hands with last night was John Fetterman.

May the odds be ever in your favor

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Trump was POTUS on J6. It was Trump’s FBI. Biden’s win had not even been certified yet. Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

It's nothing more than a dress rehersal for 2028. Yep I said that.

'Make America Healthy Again' means eating French fries fried in beef tallow and drinking water that gives you cancer, apparently

MCGOWAN: “We're not going to get the correct information on anything because your man keeps firing people when he doesn't like the answer. PHILLIP: “Do facts matter?” (Sadly, we all know the answer)

Another day, another reminder...

I think this will become accurate in time. What do you think?

Nope !!! I don't think all the words in the dictionary won't be put together in such a way that we can put our democracy back together again. If we do it will be different. Perhaps a little perhaps a lot. I dunno.

Former LA reporter here, how much time ya got

This AI video of Jesus and a little boy singing Bless the Lord Oh My Soul, while Jesus holds a disembodied child’s foot is so beautiful and spiritually inspiring.

George Retes, an American citizen disabled US Army veteran who has been held in federal custody since Thursday, was released without charges this evening. 1/

USW VP: The agency that so many veterans around this country rely on—for physical and mental healthcare, for screenings for toxic exposure, for financial support in times of crisis—has been weakened because of these cuts and can’t serve you, who served us and this nation, in your time of need.

Hot in Arizona today !!

the author of this piece once mocked something i wrote because i began a sentence with “and”

Thou shalt not go on vacation every time your state has a natural disaster. This commandment is mostly for Ted Cruz.

Working class voters need to wise up to what he is doing to their future.

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

Yes, Joe — working people do deserve better.

Beautiful Arizona Sky after some monsoons yesterday.

Floating around with mum!

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

When you realize you are collateral damage to your own cruelty.

Angus: Our PM went to Washington to meet with Trump—in what looked like a cheesy bordello decked out in gold lamé. When Trump was asked about Canada giving up its sovereignty, he said, “Never say never.” Every Canadian knew exactly what that meant. For a sexual predator, no means no means nothing.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”? It’s bullshit. It’s a straight-up scam that abandons working families and rigs the system even more for the rich. They’re slashing jobs and gutting the very resources that people need to survive—while calling it “fiscal responsibility.”

There's been another surge of people to Bluesky in recent days due to constant X outages. Welcome to everyone just arriving! Bluesky allows you to follow large groups of people at once with Starter Pack. Here is a Starter Pack featuring MeidasTouch contributors, hosts, and staff!

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

GOP grifters…

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.
