You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

MAGA ambassador Pete Hoosktra is telling Canada that he doesn't like the term "elbows up." He says it's anti-American. Sorry Pete, your president might be able to fire Jimmy Kimmel but you don't get to tell Canadians how to talk. Elbows up Mother-stucker.

Very interesting reading. Keep holding their feet to the fire.

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Thought I should shell the fresh peas I bought at the market and watch some TV at the same time. Ended up watching Nicole Wallace and Rachael Maddow. Watching these 2 incredibly aware and intelligent women who obviously like each other, discuss the issues of the day. Uplifting and affirming.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Mike Waltz is failing up.

He’s being rewarded for an egregious national security breach by being tapped for UN Ambassador—a slap in the face to the troops he put in greater danger with SignalGate.

I’ll be voting no.

Can I ask a favor? Can everyone who sees this post please take the time out to find 10 posts with the hashtag #Carney2025 or #CanadaStrong and like and repost it? The far right disinformation network is working overtime to elect Canada’s Trump. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

For all my beloved Canadian neighbors, please...don't make the same mistake that the US made. Poilievre is maybe not the *absolute worst* choice you could make (you could, I dunno, vote for a fictional character), but he's waaaaayyyy up there on the list.

Please Canadians get out and vote on April 28th! We don’t want to go down the same path as the US under Trump! Little PP is a Trump wannabe and his extreme far right policies all align with Trump. Stay united Canada! 🍁 Stay Strong 💪!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy

Pierre PoiLIEvre should be fired from politics! PP not willing to get his security clearance should be an instant disqualification. How can anyone run a country when they have something to hide? (that reminds me of F47 not showing his taxes) Get out and vote on April 28 Canada ❤️🇨🇦 #MarkCarney4PM
