Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyThis is the point I was making earlier. Some folks in the media will hype Bluesky as they did with Mastodon and Post News. It's troubling that certain individuals would suggest Bluesky knowing what happened under Jack's watch. Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ users were harassed way before Elon took over.05:18 PM - Apr 27, 2023![Image]()

Trying to make Manchin seem like some kind of moderate is obscene. He is the reason BBB was only a half measure, holding the country hostage (protecting fossil fuels) like the GOP is holding it now over the debt ceiling (protecting tax cuts)

I just voted NO on the MAGA Republican bill to raise the debt ceiling. I can't support a bill that includes slashing critical funds that will hurt working families, the middle class, and our veterans.
When a fraudster like George Santos is the deciding vote, you know the bill is a fraud.

So, when I was a kid, my father (who had a wee bit of a drinking issue) broke the family VCR. He returned home from a store the next day with a LaserDisc player... acting like breaking the VCR was all part of the plan.
My point is: I hope this new platform is not like LaserDiscs. :)

This is a very important campaign.
I ask that everyone who sees this Spout passes it on to at least 5 people you know on this platform.
Marcus Flowers ran hard against MTG last fall.
He lost the battle but is in it to win the war.

My concerns aren't that FOX is conservative, but that FOX “News” is not news at all! It's an entertainment channel that seeks to do nothing but spread inaccurate propaganda. Court documents show that in 2020, FOX’s top brass knew that the election deniers they put on the air were peddling li..

Should DeSantis become president, he will attempt this nationwide.”

This story is weird. There's a sovereign citizen aspect to the case, and he did have a gun in the car. But nowhere is it mentioned that he drew his weapon. And 5 officers opened fire for failure to comply? Just tragic all around.
