Hello Bluesky friends. A big welcome again to new folks including my new followers. Thought I set up a thread with my starter-packs which will give you a sense of content of politics/sports coming from my TL. Starting w/ smart reads: good humans I pay close attention to: go.bsky.app/SM6cvmB 🧵(1/14)

🚨👀 Seems like a BFD - Sen Van Hollen calls out New Yorkers like Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Hakeem Jeffries for “spineless politics” bc of not endorsing Mamdani. Great to see CVH speaking w moral clarity w/o fear. More of this please. 🔥

Meanwhile … “The 16-year-old boy who shot two students and then himself at Evergreen High School this week appeared to espouse white supremacist views online …”

Another day - another high school shooting in America. When is enough is going to be enough with these guns?

Every Democrat with a platform need to scream out loud - Trump did this and this is not going to get better. ↘️

Anyone associated with US media who mainstreamed this lie as a legitimate campaign promise from Trump Vance was BSing you all along. They were liars and enablers of liars just like all those liars and enablers who mainstreamed Bush regime’s WMD lies back in the day.

“We don’t need to do this again. Today’s teens don’t need to grow up in a world marred by war, where their classmates and siblings are forced to fight un-winnable fights with the fear that if things carry on, they’ll be forced to serve, too.”

“[A] legal permanent resident who spent several weeks at the Camp East Montana detention facility in Texas, told AP that he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool for which detainee would next die by suicide.” Just reforming ICE will not stop this kind of monstrosity.

“going to blow the hell out of these people.” “these people” … little school girls, musicians on a navy ship etc.

Trump never signing another bill including any legislation pouring more money into his illegal and unnecessary wars - sounds good to us. But, if Congress passes a bill and he sits on it for 10 days it becomes law. So won’t matter if/when Dems get a majority.

Those fancy consultants will lean into the latest ghoulish Fox News nonsense protecting Trump by pushing their candidates more to that news network to “engage” their audience bc you know that has always worked so well. 🙃

There goes Jake Tapper again pushing a tired right wing framing on unnecessary wars in the Middle East. Great answer from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

For those like yours truly who are just getting up on the west coast. JICYMI ↘️
