Americans didn’t want health cover ?

#Bluesky traffic up by 500%, absolutely crushing Threads and X (twitter). Millions are choosing the good place. www.npr.org/2024/11/19/g...

It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful.

🚨Jailed whistleblower David McBride says he has faced threats in Canberra prison - ABC News. It is an absolute stain on the Albanese govt and Attorney General that whistleblower protections have not yet been introduced. #integrity #auspol

Housing affordability in 🇦🇺 is the worst it’s ever been yet the major parties won’t back my bill requiring them to have 10-year national plan for housing and homelessness 🤯 www.smh.com.au/property/new...

One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So I’m happy here.

not a landslide

Back in 2012, a bunch of us decided we'd had enough of the way Alan Jones talked about women. We decided to #destroythejoint. Much love to all those women and men who helped. www.smh.com.au/national/i-t...

The internet is forever Gina

Mackenzie Scott is the ex-wife to Jeff Bezos. This week Elon Musk said Scott was destroying western civilization by donating hundreds of millions to women charities and causes. Her response, was to double her donations brava

i haven't been called a #libtard for a week, that's nice

Note how “concerns about fairness in sports” has already transformed into unvarnished transphobic bigotry

🚨 Corruption in Australia: A Growing Concern 🚨 Despite ranking 14th globally on the Corruption Perceptions Index, Australia's score has dropped from 85/100 to 75/100 in the past decade. Recent scandals have highlighted systemic issues. tinyurl.com/4dk66t8p #auspol25

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

It’s taken a while, but Albo has managed to get the China relationship back on track after Morrison’s idiotic blunders. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

apparently my name was used in vain on Q+A last night. for the umpteenth time, i’m not a clive palmer level political donor. here’s a representation of political funding over the last political cycle. i’m the little purple square. significant, yes. major? no.

Lost 100,000 followers on X… maybe they came here…

Make America Healthy Again lasted less than a Scaramucci

I just talked about how great Bluesky is on MSNBC

I’ve dropped around 4,000 followers on Skum’s X since the US election. The obscene abuse has dropped with them. Which tells me the joint is rigged and rotten to the core. Bluesky is a breath of clean, fresh air.

The hashtag should be #Xodus

Last week BlueSky was cock-a-hoop, because they grew a million followers in a week. They just clocked a million followers in last 24 hours! Now up to 17.35 M #TwitterExodus

I like the fragmentation of the sites. Bluesky for social justice and politics. Threads when I need a random thought generator. And Xitter when I have the masochist feels.

Interested if new immigrants to Blue sky have closed their X accounts or holding on? I still have mine but have only joined today.

Like breath of fresh air on Bluesky after the stench of X.
