You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.
Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.
We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

“Health care for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.”
The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

ICE grabs a new father off the streets of D.C, as he begs them to remember their humanity.
"Brother, please! My wife, she can't walk!"
Their response? "We'll figure it out." But they won't! ICE "agents" have been as hostile to immigrant families as they are to detainees.

Trump’s ICE spent $560,000 on tricked-out trucks for a hype recruitment video. The vehicles were purchased and styled to look like Trump’s private jet.
