do not mistake “skewing left” for educated, peer reviewed, and science based facts.

It is true that Blue Sky skews left right now. I would prefer it to have more diversity of opinions but I would sincerely hope those thoughts are more interesting than, "I don't like being disagreed with."

Few things made me feel more patriotic as a kid than this.

Always punch nazis and always ban them from this site. Happy 4th of July.

Folks are looking for different things from bluesky and that’s ok. For me, besides cool connections it’s reliable news and information aggregation. Especially during a major event or as it happens. The bird app had that down for a while.

Ok changed my profile pic to my twitter pic so my mutuals who are migrating here can find me easier.

Lots of pickets and union actions happening across the country this holiday week. Please for the love of god do not cross a picket or visit a place that has an active boycott. Thanks y’all.

For historical purposes I’m skeeting from the floor of the U.S. House. First time I think.

Something I love about my Washington DC team. Only one of them owns a car. We all walk everywhere in a very walkable city. And while some get driven around or think walking is dangerous for a member of congress - I think it’s so freeing to have dense streets. More cities should be like DC.

Love this and going to look into it. Would be great companion legislation with my eliminating parking minimums bill.

Make federal dollars for rail transit projects conditional on upzoning around the stations. LA spent billions of federal dollars building this train line to downtown and the station is surrounded by single family zoning.
