Don't forget Dan Patrick!

Paxton, Abbott and Patrick are corrupt scumbags to the highest degree. 😒

The Big Takeover: The secret plans to give Trump command of America’s police For months, a Project 2025 subgroup drafted plans to place domestic law enforcement under Trump's thumb. We have their files.

Screenshot of an email I received yesterday: "Hi there, A Bluesky account you control (@adrian.weasel.net) is using the list feature in a way that violates our Community Guidelines. We've found that the list: "Ugly Colonialism" may have one or more of the following issues: - Targets protected characteristics - Appears retaliatory or abusive in nature - Makes serious criminal allegations - Engages in coordinated harassment or contains threats/wishes of harm - Spam or inauthentic amplification As a result, we have taken your list down. Thank you for doing your part to keep Bluesky a welcoming place for everyone. If you have questions or wish to appeal this decision, please email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz. Bluesky Moderation Team

Nothing about making a list of accounts which are objectively verifiable apologists for oppressive colonialism meets any of these criteria. 🙄

I had a modlist of accounts which support the oppression of others, relating to subjects like Gaza and Ukraine.

One of yesterday's two trolls punitively reported it and got it removed.

All they succeeded in doing was getting a bunch of other bad accounts un-listed. 🤦‍♂️

A reminder to protect your rights:

⚠️ NEVER give cops voluntary permission to search your vehicle. If you do, they can legally tear it apart, cause damage, and leave your belongings on the ground.

⚠️ NEVER take the field sobriety test. It cannot prove you're sober. It's designed to provide evidence.

Bring it, b*tches‼️

While Trump and Texas Republicans scheme to steal the House for life, Newsom is planning to flip the table in California, and every blue state should be planning the same.

Enough of Dems playing nice or being a doormat for Republicans.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

I learned recently that Bob was my cousin! We share a common ancestor six generations back, and her name was Mary Anne Atherfold!

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

(deleted/reposted to remove any stinky labels steve might have put on it before I blocked his scraper)

Semites historically included Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians and Arabs.

If Israelis are mostly white European transplants, and they're currently conducting a literal genocide on direct descendants of Canaanites, en masse, then it becomes necessary to ask:

WHO ARE THE REAL ANTISEMITES HERE?? 🤔

And THAT, friends, is what qualifies him to be added to my moderation list.

I just had to block a prolific label operator (Steve Townsend) because he came onto my post with an antagonistic attack simply because he disagreed, and tagged in another user who proceeded to attack my intelligence and insult my responses. Both blocked.

Steve will now label me for blocking him.

This is my list of accounts which create malicious moderation lists to abuse other users. It's also been recently expanded to include people who abuse Bluesky's account labeling features.

I welcome my inevitable shiny new "Blocks Moderation" label from steve. I'll wear it with pride.

Wow, you're a rational person to discuss things with. 🙄

Sarcasm, in case you missed it.

I guess that's the part I don't understand, how the term went from encompassing a broad community of people, to just one..

I should clarify that I wasn't including religion in my question, just the (admittedly pedantic) strict definition based on traditional populations in the area, based on their languages. That's probably why this rubbed Steve the wrong way. I'm really not trying to stir up shit. I'm actually curious.

From what I understand, Arabic is also part of the Semitic language family.

I'm just going by the original definition, but you make a good point. The definition and context has definitely changed.

I'm Romani, and our language is considered the oldest Indo-European language in the world, so I'm not sure who doesn't really use that term anymore.

Gaslighting? Are you kidding? Ironically, you don't get to make that decision for me. I'm genuinely curious. Why are you trying to censor me?

You should note that I'm asking "if".

The only authoritative statement I made was the definition of Semites.

Trunt needs a high velocity solution.

Instagram public accounts with less than 1,000 followers can no longer go live Users have been reporting over the past few days that their accounts aren't eligible for Live broadcast on the app anymore.

In today's episode of Let's Further Crush Any Opposition to Our Fascist Agenda, Instagram has decided to take away live streaming from accounts with less than 1000 followers.

The AT-PROTO which Bluesky is built upon is intended to circumvent that. Privately owned federated social networking is the future.

Dust.. that's a gentle word for it 😅

I totally read"Minnesota" in a Minnesota accent.
