A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
So damn true 💯
Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”
My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.
I’m seeing red. 😡

I’ve seen more and more Cyber Trucks on these Canadian roads lately. I get secondhand embarrassment every single time. That monstrosity should have been left on the drawing board by whichever 6 year old drew it. #Elonmusk #CyberTruck #Secondhandembarrassment
Poilievre:
I will get rid of the GST on homes.
Trudeau:
I’m getting rid of GST on essential goods.

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.
We, the understanding and patient, will be here with support!
“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say
TBH I think this would make a great billboard. What do you guys think?
A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?
A troll’s only purpose in life is to troll you. Your anger is like oxygen to them.
When you take that away from them, they shrivel up and die.
What’s up, Bluesky! 👋
Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

Such a breath of fresh air over here💙🌈☀️
It was never about “free speech” over in the bad place.
Fortune headline: Elon Musk’s AI turns on him, labels him ‘one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X.’
Well, at least it got that one right.
Headline reading Trump Judge Blocks Overtime Pay For 4 Million Workers The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.
President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.
Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
Agreed!
Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky!
18M users? 🙂↔️ 18M friends 🙂↕️
