If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Just a reminder that we have never—not once, zero times—seen any data to support an “8,000%” increase assaults and threats to ICE officers. We have more evidence of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster than we do this claim.
