Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · last mo.Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why?

Garrett M. Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social · 3mo agoI've written and reported a lot on presidential security over the years, and wrote a quick analysis of what we know so far and some background about security at the Washington Hilton: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-quick-an...
I am in Minneapolis but distracted by sports.
Molly Coleman@mollycoleman.bsky.social · 4mo agoAs far as I can tell, everybody on Minneapolis BlueSky is spending the day deeply engaging with local politics and everyone on Saint Paul BlueSky is spending the day eating a giant sandwich and drinking beer. And that feels right to me.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

"RT ≠ Endorsement" used to be common place in bios on that other platform. It is sad that we are so quick to assume "explanations = endorsement"
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 4mo agoI have experienced similar pile-ons when my summary of a court's holding was mistaken for my personal view on the matter. This insistence on stripping a post of context then imputing bad faith is making BlueSky unusable for legal reporting. Today's incident shows that the problem is getting worse.
The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something
Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 4mo agoToday, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
