I'm done trying to explain to people that BlueSky was initiated primarily by Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, who left the social network after claiming they were making the same mistakes as Twitter. It looks decent right now as a mass alternative to the galactic dumpster fire. But nobody should be under any illusion that things won't eventually devolve due to human nature and malign influence. This despite having become popular w/marginalized groups during beta and being a public benefit corp.

From Wikipedia:
"Every Kennedy elected to public office has served as a Democrat, while other members of the family have worked for the party or held Cabinet posts in Democratic administrations."
WAY TO TRAILBLAZE ROBERT!
Privacy advocates gained access to a powerful tool bought by U.S. law enforcement agencies that can track smartphone locations around the world.

CoSo,
As we watch the US get broken up and sold for parts--a victim of greed and ignorance--the rarity and value of this platform grows.
For seven years, @th3j35t3r has prioritized our safety and experience. He has never sold us out or worked an angle to profit from us.
He has given us the means to connect organically and without manipulation.
Now, more than ever, we need this place.
Let's get to 100% community funded this month.
Help, if you can
Amsterdam "Jew hunt"

From the looks of my retirement and crypto portfolios (much smaller than traditional assets), one could easily surmise that the financial community is very happy with Trump. This is especially true of crypto, where the entire ethos is centered on unregulated speculation (even though it started with laudable goals) and clear communication from a Trump admin that he will open things up.
Tradfi is different. The #1 desirable is stability. Wall St would've flown under a Harris win as well.
I watched this the other day.
We watched it again a moment ago.
It's good to watch.
I'm contemplating posting this on FB tomorrow and seeing how far it goes:
I just heard from two really good friends high up in the office of the PA SoS that they managed to hack some ES&S and Clear Ballot machines in Westmoreland, Washington, and Luzerne counties. They will now flip all votes from Trump to Harris but retain Trump on the voter verifiable paper ballot. They said our democracy is too important and they're willing to go to jail for it. God bless these American heroes!
This man is everything JD Vance wishes he could be, in every universe...

Those people were props in a farce and not at all integral to the plot
The plan started months before the election and Jan 6
A- sow distrust
B- recruit fake electors in battleground states
C- convince Pence to reject the people's vote and accept fake electors
I'm asking people to stand up if they see a similar plot take shape, not to participate in a plot
It's apples and xylophones

All good things... let's show the cynical and the hateful how the digital world is supposed to work.
