Sometimes this reminder is helpful on Bluesky:
It’s good to oppose Trumpism. Trumpism is evil. But there are plenty of people who oppose Trumpism who are also petty, shitty, annoying people. Block them or ignore them and go back to opposing Trump.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot.
If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot.
You’re a fucking Nazi.

Video proves beyond a doubt that ICE murdered Alex Pretti in cold blood, he never unholstered his weapon, and was disarmed when the regime thugs shot and executed him. This was 100% intentional. It's a homicide. #3E #GoodvsEvil

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.
Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇
