I think this goes beyond the USA's problem with their wannabe dictator. This language is an obscene direct copy of Nazi propaganda, it is come time for the rest of the world to publicly and explicitly question where the USA is going right now.

Two useful bits of Bluesky functionality:
You can mute words for fixed periods of time (also applies to Alt text). If you need a break, do that.
You can set up a custom list and pin it to the top of your feeds list. Put people who post recipes and nice photos in it, and never look anywhere else.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.
But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.
They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.
