The user in the images is using mod lists to defame, harass, and falsely label people as predators or bigots. This behavior is dangerous, spreads disinfo, and mimics 4chan/8chan style trolling. It weaponizes safety tools and puts real people at risk.

A screenshot from the Bluesky platform showing a moderation list titled “Shitlib Army” created by user @heartgold.xyz. The list claims to include “centrists and liberals who don’t like Palestinians and other minorities including trans people.” The list is being used to target and label users unfairly.

He’s a lazy, stank, bloated, 12 Hamburger eating, lying sack of 💩 & he just can’t die soon enough. 🖕🖕

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia.

This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

If they were so sure it was right, why would they be hiding - ICE is full of a bunch of weak minded, souless bullies.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Here’s his record on workers’ rights:

❌ Voted against banning fire-and-rehire

❌ Opposed stronger sick pay and maternity protections

❌ Defended zero-hours contracts

❌ Suggested charging for NHS services

Thinking of voting Reform? You’re being conned.
Farage isn’t working class. He’s no friend of yours — just another elite in a flat cap pretending to care.
Like Trump, he plays the part to win your vote — then sells you out.

This entire country will be just like Florida. If you can’t report on the amount of rain, there’s no possibility of flooding. If you can’t report about climate change, everything is hunky-dory.

The Trump regime just fired all 400 experts working on America’s official #ClimateCrisis report.

The Trump administration just dismissed all 400 experts working on America’s official climate report

It’s not clear who will now write the Congressionally mandated National Climate Assessment — or whether it will be written at all.

6. It doesn’t happen all at once. It starts with jokes. Laws. Lists. Silences.

7. America is just the loudest warning — but the shift is everywhere. UK, Hungary, India, Russia. Watch closely.

8. Fascism doesn’t knock. It seeps in through apathy, fear, and "not now".

Cat @thekittykat.bsky.social · Apr 22

3. Then queer people. Then women who spoke. Then the disabled, the poor, the sick.

4. Each time, people said “it’s complicated” or “not my problem.”

5. But it is your problem. Because when they’re done with everyone else… you’ll be next.
