Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. “X” is a cesspool of misinformation and propaganda.
I’ve been reluctant to put a lot of energy into a “Twitter alternative” because none of them have taken off.
But I hope we can regain that global conversation someplace again. Maybe this is the place.13,219 1,491Nov 9, 2024 -

It was obvious to anyone paying attention that Musk's algo was heavily boosting him and other right-wing accounts.
But it's good to see the data backing up what we could see with our own eyes.2,243 565Nov 16, 2024 -

These false claims were trumpeted endlessly on TV and in print.
The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention.
This is how disinformation works.1,637 584Dec 13, 2024 -

One thing that Bluesky has going for it is its look and feel. It feels a lot like old Twitter.

Henry didn’t want to go out in the rain today, so his mom dressed him up in his rain gear.

This is why BlueSky needs verification. Using a personal website isn’t good enough.

Jack Smith’s January 6th report is out (link below).
Check out his cover letter defending his work as well as a letter from Trump’s lawyers, and Smith’s response, at the end.
Smith also sets forth in detail the reasons why he believed a prosecution was warranted. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...808 301Jan 14, 2025 -

This should be alarming to everyone.
The Members of the January 6th Committee are protected by the Constitution from arrest for their Congressional duties.
Trump is calling for them to be arrested for performing their congressional oversight role pursuant to Article I of the Constitution.615 183Dec 9, 2024 -

This is the most concerning Trump pick thus far, and that’s really saying something.

No one who investigated the abuse and exploitation of children, or was a victim, would ever throw around terms like "groomer" or "pedo" as an insult the way that he does.
It's offensive to anyone who understands the horror those terms actually refer to.547 95Nov 28, 2024 -

I don’t know what’s more surprising.
That Matt Gaetz has been nominated to be Attorney General, or finding out for the first time that Gaetz graduated from law school.527 50Nov 13, 2024 -

Jack Smith specifically asks for a dismissal *without* prejudice, but I expect Trump's lawyers to fight for a dismissal *with* prejudice, which would prevent the charges from being reinstated after he leaves office.

At least on this site we don't have to hide words with asterisks to avoid censorship from a billionaire who can't handle competition or free discourse.

Kash Patel is the same guy who claimed that he was present when Trump spoke words to "declassify" mass quantities of documents before he took them to Mar-a-Lago.
Now Trump plans to appoint him FBI Director.387 111Dec 1, 2024 -

There is a nugget of truth underlying this SNL sketch.
Trump has threatened to target his enemies.
The mere threat of being targeted can cause some people to censor themselves.
Once Trump’s threat turns into action, even more will self-censor. A single subpoena could silence many.347 74Nov 10, 2024 -

Rod Rosenstein claims that "Todd Blanche and Emile Bove won't waste time targeting political opponents or disparaging honorable public servants."
Given Rosenstein's role in Barr's deception when he was at DOJ, if he told me the sky was blue, I'd look up to check.259 40Nov 15, 2024
