I noticed people who said how amazing @bsky.app is and how terrible X is showed up way more in my feeds when I first joined.
But I still believed it was a platform set up for equality.
So many Trump haters on here and they don't get banned.
Calling out someone for being transphobic is our duty

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why

Tell me this is not happening in Ireland!!!
Prison campaigners have said the government’s practice of detaining people for weeks before they are deported “flies in the face” of international human rights standards.
Questions raised over why asylum seekers are being put in prison for weeks before deportation
The Irish Penal Reform Trust was sharply critical of the government imprisoning people for ‘administrative rather than criminal’ reasons.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

I don't go to counter protests because
1. this is the only SM platform I am on so I usually only find out after the events
2. I don't want to give fascists my time and energy so per point 1 above I don't engage with them
But reading that article earlier made me realise doing nothing is wrong
