I'm not assuming anything at this point, just stating a fact. And it's also a fact that Bsky has been HORRIBLE to Palestinians. So, we'll see.

IKR? FFS. I started really questioning my decision to move here from X when Bsky started zapping Palestinian accounts. But if they're going to just suspend someone like Sarah - and without any reason given - I may as well just go back to Xitter. At least I got more engagement there. Ugh.

I also started getting some feedback from the beta readers on Clíodhna's Refuge (all have liked it so far; some good critiques). 2/2

Sadly true....

Uh, no. If you look at the makeup of the Nazi Party in the 1920s and early 30s, you'd find a similar bunch of ne'er-do-wells. And it's not their looks, it's what they do. Just watch CBP and ICE attacking people.

Not going to argue, but they're Nazis; they hold the same values and harbor the same belief system. The path forward is social democracy, the best examples of which are the Nordic countries.

Truth. "But if we don't do what they want, they'll be mean to us!" *sigh*

..., and the scope and intensity of that pain is going to increase geometrically over time. Appeasement simply means far more suffering and death is in store. 2/2

Yep. But then you'll hear BlueMAGA scream that voting for anyone OTHER than a Democrat is a "vote for Trump (or the Republicans." I reject the assertion that our only political choices are arsenic or hemlock.

Or, better yet, yeet them into the sun...

IMHO, it IS time to be furious AND to step up. Yes, we need to be helping folks in need, and we ALSO need to run these fucking Nazis out with pitchforks.

Yeah, I was utterly furious reading all the crap this morning, especially SCOTUS blocking SNAP payments. NO ONE IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD EVER GO HUNTRY. NO ONE. While freaking Musk is getting a trillion dollars. JFC.
