Guess what isn’t shutdown during a shutdow: DHS, ICE, and immigration.

Guess we like using Project 2025 as a rhetorical gotcha but not any in terms of keeping its implementation out of reach; noted.

Make it redd, to easily distinguish from the color.

Shutting it down would be giving him what he wants: expanded powers and no one to answer to (because the government is shut down).

Except a government shutdown doesn’t shut down the entire government. It shuts down Congress and many executive agencies while expanding the powers of the president; and one of the heads of the executive branch, nominated by Trump, is one of the authors of Project 2025.

Not really related to the bulk of your comment but I’m curious (if you don’t mind sharing) what features you like from BlueSky, in comparison to Mastodon?

I’m probably going to spam this around a bit, since most people don’t seem to know about it, but a reminder that FuriLabs has a (GNU+)Linux phone with decent spec.s and the ability to run Android app.s (from what I’ve heard) pretty decently: https://furilabs.com/

Biggest drawback is it’s based on Halium. Usual growing pains of a new product/company apply but apparently the company is pretty responsive and their dev.s have worked with customers to get things like calling working with the carrier and bands of their country where it hasn’t worked before so improvements move pretty quickly.

Collection of different experiences I’ve variously seen online over the last year or so:

I don’t own one, myself, so I can’t give any personal experience but I’ve seen it around for a few years now but most people don’t seem to even know about it. Maybe there’s a reason for that? But none I’ve ever seen anyone say.
