For everyone angry at Bluesky, a direct way we can help northsky is by tossing them a few bucks. They're all working multiple jobs trying to make this happen for us.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

bsky users each day spinning up our respective flavors of neurodivergence like beyblades to find out if either of ours bumps the other into needing to be blocked nothing personal they're just not both going to stay in the same arena

Good rundown of the current situation on Bsky (written before Rudy's update that Blacksky is going to make Link available to its users) plus.flux.community/p/banning-co...

This is why there is no choice but to fight or run. U aren’t being apprehended by people who follow rules that the People voted on n will protect us. U are being snatched—n u may live through it, u may not.

Gov. Tim Walz said he anticipates President Donald Trump will send troops to the Twin Cities as part of the president’s campaign to target Democratic-led cities under the pretext of stamping out violent crime. via @minnesotareformer.com www.newsfromthestates.com/article/walz...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The Republican Party is an international crime syndicate of epistemic irresponsibility

Go, @akalhan.bsky.social

endlessly embarrassing that the powers that be here banned Link. just disqualifying.

Typically I’d be making plans to see my favorite teams hit the ice this season but wheelchair van sadly died in May. Fortunately, this amazing community has helped me & I’m hoping that continues! If you see this please share! 🔗: gofund.me/bce5b50a #Hockey #HockeyFam

This is what the states should’ve been doing from the start to stop lawless ice goons. About damn time.

Be gentle with others, but don’t forget to be gentle with yourself. You’re people too.

Made some of the best ramen I've ever pulled together today on a whim

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

tap into this article to see the details of the bills that would protect trans & queer people that are still on the table. when you call, tell him he needs to sign all of them. name them! gavin: (916) 445-2841 AB 82 / SB 497 AB 1084 / SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 727 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

It's easy to say white supremacy is guys burning crosses or going to college campuses and saying that Black gang members are the primary problem with gun violence in the United States It's harder to admit that it's in all the small ways folks allow people to devalue Black life on a daily basis

Just sharing this, since I've reinstalled the app mastodon.social/@graysongoal

It's finally up! Time to talk about the last three months of plagiarism and deflection by the Alt National Park Service. tl;dr AltNPS is flailing desperately for ways to cling to their manufactured image as a government insider, in ways that show that they're in too deep to change.

Conversion Therapy is abduction, torture, abuse, and abandonment of vulnerable peoples.

I don't even know what to say about @aaron.bsky.team announcing that actually they feed all images posted on Bsky into an AI that just a year ago they told everyone they had banned from using Bsky images

Supreme Court on banning gender-affirming care for trans youth: Sure, that's fine, no constitutional violation. Supreme Court on banning so-called conversion therapy for gay youth: No, can't have that, grave constitutional violation. Here, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets to the bottom of it:

Capitalism 🤝 Authoritarianism

The science doesn't lie: Conversion therapy doesn't work. That hasn't stopped the GOP from trying to bring it back, as SCOTUS decides whether or not to overturn bans in 23 states. @msjpauly.bsky.social and @hencarnell.bsky.social reported on the movement to resurrect the practice back in 2024.

Wait, I'm sorry: WHAT tf is happening? Is Bsky Trust & Safety actually saying that they don't provide input on the 3rd party "AI" that is the 1st tier of all image & video moderation on this website? Am I actually reading that right? Because that seems like a completely bananas way to run a railroad

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

livestreamed fact checking. good use of real-time fire data and camera feeds.

Yet another reason to skip the Starbucks if you are able.

With those trying to follow along, which might be hard for thsoe either disabilities like me @aaron.bsky.team has explained to a differnet user that every post to bluesky is Fead to a generative Ai system at thehive.AI which moderates our posts in exchange consuming our posts.

Whoever on your team, @moderation.bsky.app who has marked images of a disabled person attaching prosthetics as “Explicit Sexual Images” appears to be admitting to acrotomophilia … that person should perhaps be removed from the role of Moderation … Because disability isn’t “Explicit Sexual Images”

California bans noisy ads on Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming services

When a judge told Claudio David Balcane González “Welcome to the United States,” he sobbed. He had finally been granted asylum. Then ICE detained him for 63 more days @marialuisapaul.bsky.social reports www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Most autistic people think they’re “getting worse”. You’re not. You’re burning out - from masking, overthinking, and trying to earn safety in a system that withholds it. You can recover. But only by learning how to stop negotiating with a world that keeps asking for your disappearance.

I wanna be clear: I am a hermit who mostly avoids interaction with public because I ... generally am too anxious to be around people these days. Even tho I do tend to pass as cis. In town, folks know. Cis people have made society very hostile towards trans people; for me this DEFINITELY has worked.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

THIS feels incredibly toxic after the behaviour of Bsky leadership this last week. How often do I see toxicity? I see Palestinians get deleted for asking for help. I see sex workers harassed. I see Jewish people brigaded. I see trans people put on irl watchlists. I see white supremacists lauded.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

“We must take to the streets every day and keep showing up until those in charge are forced to change. We must install a new federal government as soon as possible…” Katelyn with the words this moment needs. It’s time for us to stop this.

“We can prove that Robert is innocent, and no reasonable jury would find otherwise if presented with all relevant medical evidence.” New from @michellepitcher.bsky.social: Despite the evidence, and overwhelming support, Robeson's execution date is set for October 16.

Dear god …how can a human,a being shoot a child. I want to throw up.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.” “That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...
