Fuck zionists. Especially the evangelical and christian ones. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Defund and dismantle Israel.
Make Jews safe wherever they already are, without blackmailing them to achieve safety only by support of the christian end-times prophecy/fantasy crusades-sequel violences.

They're welcome to be here, none of us are required to listen. If that frustrates them so much that they leave, that's their choice.

If they can't compete in the marketplace of ideas, that's not my problem at all. We don't need to artificially boost alt views just for viewpoint diversity.

This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.

They are denying visas for Wrongthink, kidnapping people, blowing fishermen to bits in international waters & vanishing thousands in concentration camps. This is a SAFETY issue. People may die because of Bluesky's decision here.

I think this moment of people feeling nervous about something and doing it anyway could prove quite liberating and profound

My mother-in-law was nervous about wearing her #NoKings gear to the airport for her flight this morning, but she got *lots* of compliments. Even the TSA agent told her, "I like your shirt."

Philadelphia No Kings rally was asked by multiple pro-Palestine organizations to have a Palestinian speaker and just flat out said no so now there's a Palestine contingent going to talk to people and be essentially an internal counterdemo. Super excited.

Portland: if a streamer from out of state gets arrested or detained, perhaps wait to see if he gets more than a citation before donating $100,000+ to his "legal defense". that money is vastly in excess of what he might possibly need and could have gone to helping people in serious legal jeopardy

remember when Reagan had his press secretary mockingly imply journalists were gay if they tried to ask if the president was doing anything about HIV/AIDS in an attempt to bully them into not talking about it

(he was, if you count defunding the CDCs research on it at the height of the epidemic)

the firehose is public, they can read every one of your stupid posts if they want to

bluesky posts have already been used in court

what you want to avoid is the vicious little groyper running their social media account sending your username to his boss and going “ruin this guy’s life”

If the government wanted to spy on Bluesky users they wouldn't need official accounts to do that, those are only here to get people in trouble for posting dumb shit at them

When there’s so clearly more people who don’t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I know it's everyone's gut reaction to say the No King's protests are libbed up and performative but I'm seeing way more "fuck billionaires" and "capitalism only benefits the few" or "fascism is the final stage" posters than last time.

Seems like a lot of people are waking up

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

there were people saying this is where everything was headed way back in 2020 and they were scoffed at and ignored and sidelined by the dem party. and if you ask me, maybe the people who did the scoffing should be less influential in the party going forward. just imo

"The only way to set the course to a true constitutional recovery is for the opposition to achieve a trifecta and pass major legislation to reform the prime sources of unconstitutional rule, which starts with the Supreme Court."

Scott L Greer @scottlgreer.bsky.social · 22h

"This probable decision comes in the midst of an attempted autocratic takeover of the U.S. government in which elections are the only real recourse for the defenders of constitutional and democratic rule."
