at no point did i have any clue what was coming next

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

It took 21 years and an act of Congress to construct the WWII Memorial on the National Mall.

What he's saying obliquely is, even if we can't enforce the Hatch Act to get people fired from the Administration, Bluesky totally CAN kick people off for violating it ON HERE.

But only if you report it.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

I repeat my Vance advice and say you should just add these Trump accounts to literally any and every blocklist you run even if it was meant for people who post movie spoilers and Smurfporn.

We’ve been saying we want shame to make a comeback, shunning is part of that

Nbd it's just shunning works V WELL when shame is impossible to invoke in one's enemies, due to their deeply rooted christofascist humiliation fetishes & they like it when you call them stuff like what I just did, especially if you're really angry at them when u post it to their staffers' face

Forget bullying, shunning WORKS

darth i'm pretty sure the squeal i let out was only audible to dogs - the tongue is too much - i cannot

And it was glorious

GOP representative blames swastika flag in his office on a ‘ruse’ Flags altered in a similar way have surfaced around the Capitol.

I dunno. Seems sketchy.

“Numerous Republican offices have confirmed that they were targeted by an unidentified group...who distributed American flags bearing a similar symbol, which were initially indistinguishable from an ordinary American flag to the naked eye”

Now WeRateDogs is TRIPLING THE FUCK DOWN and talking about how often cops shoot dogs

this, who like a block hath denied my access to thee.

I am sharing this because people need to know that the majority of people polled know who to blame.

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites

“It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done. A person ignorant of the possibility of failure can be a half-brick in the path of the bicycle of history.”

literally just watched this the other day

A small, squat pumpkin, with a long curved stem sits on an air conditioner in a window. The pumpkin is sporting googly eyes.

October.

This whole notion that the president has some uniquely strong democratic mandate because he's elected nationwide is complete ahistorical, atextual garbage. We have a democratic branch, it's the House of Representatives who are directly elected, which the president is not and never has been.

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

WHY....why this always gotta be the type of headline out of my hometown?

PLEASE they are joining for troll farming and shit just please block and disengage completely from these "official accounts," literally any other interaction you provide is what they want.

block quickly
block often

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
