I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts.
But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out.
"Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

Who up posting their motives
Look at the screenshot Trump is posting.
“If Jeffrey Epstein had any dirt on Donald Trump, he would have had great leverage in the criminal case against him at the time he died.”
That’s, um… precisely why people think Epstein didn’t kill himself? Like, that’s the whole idea very nicely summarized?

By coincidence, was just reading this bit in Keith Lowe's Naples 1944 yesterday. It would appear that Actual Proper Fascism is a category that excludes Benito Mussolini's regime at the height of its power.

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"
