I tabled a petition from Canadians fed up with chronic CRA service failures—especially seniors, rural residents & those without internet. They’re calling for restored in-person help, more staff, fixed tech issues & faster service. Canadians deserve accessible, reliable CRA support.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

I’ve mentioned this before, but on time we had a troll influx, a lot of them posted AI, so I saw a lot of their posts while doing @aimod.social labeling.
Lots of accounts with nasty replies to “blocked post” abandoned their accounts within weeks and even days. The non-blocked ones kept trolling.

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.
Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.
