This setting in @bsky.app is being weaponised by the Far Right.

Comments expressing any frustration with ICE, over Gaza, etc, are being censored.

It is worth disabling this and using other moderation lists until @moderation.bsky.app are less incompetent and employ people who understand context.

I wish people would stop calling corrupt politicians “whores”.

Sex workers are better people than most politicians and they definitely do more good for society.

Being in the Epstein files and not being immediately fired is crazy. People were fired for posting Charlie Kirk quotes verbatim after his death. People were fired for being black women. For saying genocide is wrong.

The U.S. Virgin Islands always deserve transparency but especially when they're at the center of national news like the Epstein case.

We spoke to journalist Shirley Smith about her efforts to fix the territory's archaic public records laws.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"The Greenlandic people have never felt threatened. The first time they felt unsafe for real is when an ally talked about acquiring them, buying them. It's outrageous."

Being joyful about civic life is such a powerful statement.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

There is now enough weirdness around Epstein that even sensible journalists like me are saying he allegedly took his life.

Yeah what's wrong with that? Why not choose someone who can manipulate Trump to get a better deal? You lot don't understand how politics works. You're good people but very naive.

Gammon Brexit loving Labour MP pretending that he isn’t working for Putin like his political sibling Farage.

Labour & Reform.

The same Trump worshipping evil.
Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.

The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.

Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.
