The Big Beautiful Bill, like all man-made beautiful things, are for the rich, and, when they are done playing with it, some might trickle down to the rest of us.

If anyone, at some point, need a switch flicked, a lever pulled, or a chord severed, you can ask me. I would turn on those lights, that motor or even cut off the right measure of rope to secure your tent in a hurricane with no remorse. Not that those actions typically lead to remorse.

Not the only thing those two would have in common.

It will only get harder and harder to fight. The "easiest" moment is today.

Every single member of ICE needs to be prosecuted for treason.

Remember when people were outraged at a father lending his son 5000 dollars for a truck? Crazy that those were the good times compared to now.

It will only get harder the longer you wait.

I am not one for being extremist or using hyperbole, so please understand that when I say what I'm about to say, it comes from a normally very measured and calm person.

I think it's time for considering maybe sending a second strongly worded letter to Trump.

I remember being told that I couldn't be a pilot because of my eyesight. I have never wanted to be a pilot, except for a short period after I was told I couldn't be.

In that sense, as a Dane, Elon Musk is a great inspiration to all of the people who were told that they couldn't be President.

That is so absurdly insane 😂

In times when slogans like "facts don't care about your feelings" portray feelings as weakness, allow me to be weak for a moment.

Guys, I am really, genuinely scared for the world right now.

I don't know what else to say. Praying is all I can do.

I can tell you one thing: if the US' former allies are smart, they sever all ties and build a broad coalition without the US. The rest of the world doesn't stop to wait for the US to maybe get over their rebellious teenage years.

Oh, as soon as Conald figures out how to take Elon's money, he won't be around anymore.

I seriously doubt that Trump spends time with Elon because he's such a cool hang.

They wouldn't take it if there was one.

It is easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than it is for a MAGA to make sense.

Republicans' platform:
"I don't understand how people can stomach any other flavor ice cream than vanilla, so those flavors should be removed and the heathens forced to eat vanilla!"

Use block lists. I literally have 0 MAGAs or anything close to, when I read the replies to your comment. Bliss.

But isn't it impeding my freedom of speech if you're not forced, Clockwork Orange style, to watch the dumb things I post?

I will not claim to understand the subject matter fully, but as long as you promise there's some kind of treasure behind said waterfall, we're all good!

I think there's something interesting about MAGAs disagreeing when people say that Bluesky is different to Twitter in a good way, and them not understanding that if you're the problem with Twitter, your experience us gonna be equally terrible wherever you go.

What a terrible take.

I hope so.

Or just some state of balance where Ukraine and others are left alone and Russians aren't starved to death by their own government or discriminated against based on sexuality or similar.

I so wholeheartedly hope you are right. It can hardly get any worse, right?

As long as the people they hate also lose their rights, they seem to think it's an al(t)right trade. I will never understand that kind of hatred.

- and often there's a lesson for the coder to learn in it.

If they could have a reformer as the next leader that would be great, but we should be so lucky.

I would imagine that it's just a matter of time. If Bluesky keeps growing, there will be no reason for reasonable people to be on Twitter anymore.

"Why. Won't. You. Die?!"
*keeps stabbing themselves*

What a beautiful thing you wrote. I could really feel it.
