It's unfortunate he's milquetoast on protecting trans rights.

While I am adamantly pro-Sex Work and Free Expression, I find myself surprised at the amount of that content appearing on my feed. Must be careful while checking this in public spaces! 🤗

We must have moderation. True free speech is a safe space for everyone, with governance in place.
I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

LA Fire Dept has been a leader in 2SLGBTIA+ communities and diversity hiring.

This is what truth to power looks like! Excuse the source but surely it is obvious that the foolish right wing media is unaware they are spreading truth. #protecttranskids

Joy Reid claims Trump transition to power was 'the most violent in US history'
MSNBC host Joy Reid asserted that President-elect Donald Trump's transition to power "was a violent transfer of power," and called Trump "the chief insurrectionist."

Litmus test for any politician: what have you done to protect trans rights?

Look at these beautiful people <3
Trans rights activists -- including Chelsea Manning -- are staging a protest in a women's bathroom in the Cannon building (a House building) next to Speaker Johnson's office.

"Trans rights are under attack! What do we do? Act up! Fight back!"

Tread lightly with this former GOP soldier. While I may be wrong, I am suspicious of Adam’s motivations.

Note the last paragraph here. A pattern emerges. Ask yourself, when has Adam ever stood up for trans kids? Very bad voting record on all progressive issues.

Moderation is the key to free speech too.
There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement
@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?

It goes without saying, but it needs to be said.

Masks protect our most vulnerable. Guess which side doesn’t care? Wear your mask daily. I will too.
Oh boy the MAGA weirdos and Covid denialists found my post. I’m severely, severely immunocompromised. I am in and out of the hospital constantly bc I have the immune system of someone going through chemo. The pandemic is ongoing, wear a mask and stop harassing disabled ppl

Representation isn’t just a right—it’s a responsibility. Censoring harmful rhetoric isn’t silencing; it’s safeguarding progress.

Freedom of speech comes with consequences. If your ‘truth’ undermines justice or dignity, it’s not free speech—it’s an attack on democracy.

Truth is a distraction from getting things done. -Katherine Maher

Do you agree with this statement?

A reminder to my new friends to be careful. This is a burgeoning safe space with growing pains. Many Right wingers and trolls will be here disrupting our space. “Former” Republican Adam Kinzinger is prolific yet opposed trans rights and supports a literal murderer Clint Lorrance, pardoned by Trump.

The First Amendment isn’t a license to misinform. Regulating lies protects the integrity of public discourse.

Be careful 🦋 friends. Many influential “formers” are here now on our side. This is appears to be alliance of convenience, against the Orange man. They appear to have our values in mind. #democracy #lgbt #protecttranskids
