There is context, and the full thread should be read for a reasoned, sensible argument for not engaging politically with ReformUK and the (more) racist, fascist, xenophobic wing of the Conservatives. I present to you: the last post on the thread with it's conclusion
Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

Alt text translation; A government never announces that it's become fascist. Rather, it announces that anti-fascists are criminals.

The Times says global warming is ‘exaggerated’. Tell that to families facing soaring energy bills and food prices. Climate change isn’t just an environmental crisis it’s driving the cost of living too. 🌍💷

Hello Bsky! Today is a better day! — we've seen the return of @jessiegender.bsky.social . Unrelated, I'd like to ask, which mainstream(ish) UK general news outlet is most supportive of queer issues that I could consider subscribing to?

Reinstate @jessiegender! Rowling is a terrible human who's doing constant harm to trans people because she sucks and we all know it!
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app reinstate @jessiegender.

JK Rowling is directly harming minorities and she deserves everything bad that happens to her and more. Wishing ill onto an evil person is completely acceptable.

aaaand there it is.

if they don't sort this out, this site may as well be toast.

Suspending Palestinians asking for help, allowing bad actors to post genuine racism and antisemitism and suspending accounts for speaking out against it...

@jessiegender should have NEVER caught this suspend. EVER.

@bsky.app suspending @jessiegender for calling out JK Rowling is not “safety,” it’s censorship.

When a trans voice is punished for pushing back against hate, it sends a clear message: silence the marginalized, protect the powerful.

We demand Jessie’s reinstatement.

@bsky.app, by suspending @jessiegender, you've punished a trans person for having a human reaction to someone who actively campaigns to harm and erase the trans community.

This makes you the bully here and hypocrites for claiming to give communities safe spaces.

Do better. Reinstate Jessie!

To whom it may concern at @bsky.app

@jessiegender has received more hatred and vitriol in her career simply for being a trans person daring to exist in a public space.

People like J.K.Rowling and her cronies have organised dog piles to ruin her life - please dont be part of that

Reinstate her.

Now remember:

You can bankroll a genocide against us

We cannot wish ill upon you for doing so

I’m certain this will have no overwhelmingly dire ramifications for us. No way no how.
