Let’s use early results from 20% of voters cohort as our baseline and then make a giant deal when the 80% majority cohort is counted and results shift to align with that

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

You did not have “changes in the results”; there were no results to change, because the ballots were still being counted.

I think people currently way understimate the chances Bluesky ends up being the last text based social network focused on people talking to their friends and followers

The Means siblings potentially being able to direct federal healthcare policies and spending to late night infomercial grift level companies they’re affiliated with is insane

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

damn, Trump's surgeon general nominee Casey Means is a transparent bullshitter even by the standards of the regime. Watch how she's tries to blame Chris Murphy's staffers for the fact he has her dead to rights on being dishonest and corrupt.

Oh that’s an easy one, you are allowed to murder people with a car in America

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?

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

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

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

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

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

It looks like the account is basically posting two such NEWSOM IN CRISIS videos every day, and they're all just made up nonsense. Call me crazy, but I don't think the President of the United States should be posting made up AI slop fake news videos from a fake rando YouTube account.

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

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social

I’ll forgive a lot from MGP because the plausible alternative to her in that district is a literal Nazi. Very high WAR.

The truth distilled

By the way this is the crime that they executed him for. They abhor being watched and they think if you do anything they dislike you must be crushed under their boot.

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

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I assume a lot of dudes join these forces because they want to be a warrior, and they just bury deep in their psyches the obvious contradiction of being a warrior and their actual day-to-day of deporting working dads and shooting unarmed mothers in the face with "less lethal" mortar rounds.

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

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

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

This Will Stancil arc is amazing

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I was at MANY of these stops. Here’s what would happen: the agents would stand guard at the cars, Bovino would literally pose out front while people yelled at him. It was a pathetic, obvious attempt to antagonize neighbors - they transited three gas stations and did the exact same thing thrice.

Bukele’s prisons aren’t gonna fill themselves

Nils Gilman@nilsgilman.bsky.social

It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

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.

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social

While normie Dems are increasingly concluding that ICE needs to be completely abolished, funding is 100X more likely to increase than to decrease under the next Democratic administration with the party as currently constituted.

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

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

amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

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
