People need to realize that critical mass means their database is essentially worthless. They can't arrest everyone, but if people hide and shy away, it's easier for them to retaliate.

Hey, @jnbarrot.bsky.social , @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, @kajakallas.bsky.social, did you forget that @thierrybreton.bsky.social and four others has unjustly been deprived of their visas for the USA ?
Are you tolerating this ? Seriously ?
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to retaliate ?

Tons of bug fixes 🥳 taken care of in this latest release of Bluesky! This is the REAL Twitter clone that ACTUALLY works. I hate Threads, because it’s okay for straight white men to say that MY lifestyle is morally corrupt, mentally unstable, and more… but if I retaliate in DEFENSE, banned. No more!

Trump’s threats to retaliate if EU countries start selling off U.S. treasuries in response to Trump aggression on Greenland is a toothless threat. We may be able to retaliate, but our economy will tank if it happens — is Trump really willing to tank the American economy to steal Greenland?

To be clear @rbreich.bsky.social "bullies" include powerful corporations who retaliate when workers exercises their constitutional and civil rights. Even with union support, state agencies can undermine assertion of those rights. Fed Gov is no longer a sure partner either.

It indeed should, though as @ianbremmer.com put it the other day, for that to happen it will be essential for Europe to jettison its instinct to accommodate and de-escalate, and instead opt to deter and retaliate. www.ft.com/content/fe36... @johnthornhill.bsky.social @financialtimes.com

Trump pressures DOJ to retaliate against critics like Jack Smith, repeating a pattern of failed vindictive prosecutions that still cause harm. The remedy is early pushback and eventual accountability for those abusing power.

He’s so mentally unfit, rejecting his presidential obligations to this country. He’s literally using the military, DOJ, and homeland security to enrich himself and retaliate against anyone he dislikes. Where is Congress? Did they get fired? Are we still paying their salaries?

Gee willikers boys and girls! DJT is upset that all his sabre rattling has prompted foreign countries to either take, or threaten to end their investments in Treasuries. Now he has to retaliate. "Trade wars are easy to win." said DJT.
