Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality. Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar" My latest solution in @thenation.com

I love the comments in this thread

Over the last 4 years I’ve read over 200 books, almost all from the library (and almost all ebooks). We also listen to audiobooks from the library in the car to and from school. I love the library!

Hello newskies! I'm chudwatch and I maintain a block list of alt right and fascist accounts on bluesky!. If you find an account that belongs on this list please tag me or send me a dm including their @ If you think I have added someone on accident please let me know! I take accuracy seriously.

“Yet as I’ve tried to summon that sanguine self over the past two weeks, she has stubbornly refused to show up. I have a sense that many other people are feeling similarly abandoned by their more resilient selves, instead finding a new, excruciating sense of vulnerability.”

still adding accounts but if you want a one click to block all these “there are only two gender” fuckknuckles you can sub to this list (note this is not a general anti-trans list, just single purpose atm) bsky.app/profile/did:...

I made a blocklist for some of the new showing up to troll anti trans folks. No oxygen for these schmoes! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Sometimes it’s enough to get through the day without succumbing to feeling crushed
