Bluesky moderation is a sad joke. They'll ban an early user's account for a meme (Link) but they'll allow a stochastic terrorist to remain (Jesse Singal).

I hear moving to a different PDS is a good choice. I'll be exploring that.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

The senators are angered by Schumer & Gillibrand's lack of endorsement of Zohran Mamdani, and their handling of open seat Senate races.

They believe leadership is quietly pushing donors toward specific candidates: Angie Craig in Minnesota, Haley Stevens in Michigan, and Janet Mills in Maine.

Ass hole pricks like the Milkshake Man ™️ convince the public that any trans person who is newsworthy or noteworthy is referred to as a trans “activist.”

And at a certain extent, he takes that right from you and forces you to be a representative of our community without you ever choosing.
I do actually consider myself a trans activist, but I didn't choose to become one.

It was forced upon me and I still fight against it every day because I don't want to be a trans activist.

I just want to live my life unbothered.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

It is a sad day in America when a sitting senator, Navy pilot and astronaut, is wrongfully accused of sedition for simply reminding active duty military of their legal obligation to disobey illegal orders. We stand with Senator Kelly and we hope Congress has the wisdom to follow in his example.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

I've debated (in my head) what's worse: the overt violent rhetoric bigotry of those like Mace or Miller, or the cynical calculation bigotry of Collins and Carville.
