Here are the facts:

Bluesky violated their own Terms of Service because they panicked and saw Nazis on twitter getting angry.

They took marching orders from the Nazis and helped them target BIPOC and trans users on their website.

@jay.bsky.team is complicit.

Shortly after posting my reaction to a white supremacist getting packed up, my Bluesky account was suspended for 24-hours.

The reason given as outlined in the email below was "incitement to violence".

This may strike you as strange because saying "LMAO" is not incitement. Well, there's more!

Some of the best money I spend is to support @hellgatenyc.com. If you live in NYC, you really should too. I am planning to subscribe to @thecity.nyc starting in July. Their coverage is stellar. Thank you to both of these publications.

"Not Exactly Consequential": NYT Dismisses Trump's War on Trans Americans After years of trans panic coverage, the paper now claims attacks on trans rights barely matter.
