I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.
Shame.

The money republicans decided to borrow to cover their losses.
Reagan "borrowed" three trillion dollars from your fund. Bush the war criminal "borrowed another $1.5 trillion.
Americans should have ended the republican party after the Reagan crime spree but no one would prosecute.

I *strongly* second what @spryoldlorax.bsky.social says.
The current system lets people I blocked—maybe for harassment—continue to harass me from behind a block, while I can’t find the blocked account to report. This shields harassers.

You desperately need to prevent people that a user has blocked from adding them to lists.
If I block user X, user X should NOT be allowed to then add me to a list. This is almost entirely done for harassment purposes.
This simple change would prevent a lot of harassment.

Hitler’s rise exploited public fixation with the occult & paganism. A culture rejected natural science in favor of faith-based “border sciences” allowed leaders to mythologize their beliefs in racial superiority. Border science, as distinct from pseudoscience, was a term adopted by 1930s occultists.
Hitler Used Werewolves, Vampires, and Astrology to Brainwash Germany
'Hitler’s Monsters' is a new book that examines the surprisingly deep connection between Nazis and the supernatural.

The supporters of the New Obscurantism have also broken with the ideals of America’s Founders, all of whom considered themselves to be men of the Enlightenment. Benjamin Franklin was not only a political thinker but a scientist and a brave advocate of smallpox inoculation.
