A ton of sports orgs, hospitals etc. that are NOT under the President’s authority bent over backwards to discriminate against trans people ASAP - meanwhile the US Army is explicitly delaying implementing the Order directing them to fire trans troops, deny trans soldiers medical treatment, etc.
Army guidance on implementing President Trump's order on transgender troops, filed in court today, says to NOT take adverse personnel action against people based on gender identity "at this time" and to continue medical treatment. for gender dysphoria.

I had a rotten start to 2025. We had to put our beloved dog to sleep after a sudden and traumatic illness, our car gave up the ghost and we had to get another one, and I’ve been suffering from vertigo for a month (so far).
But hey, thank goodness there’s still #BaldursGate3!

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.
(They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

Since the discussion about whether we should listen to politicians and pundits we don’t agree with seems to be happening again, I cannot emphasise enough how I’m not here for a bracing ideological workout. If I want to challenge my own ideas, I read serious journalism or books.
It’s exactly this. I’m here for fun. I’m not getting paid. It just livens up my day to have a bit of chat with some nice, entertaining people and see Moo Deng memes.
The thing that all these “Bluesky is an echo chamber” takes leave out is that most of us aren’t here for political or philosophical debates with strangers.
Mostly it’s to socialize with friends and talk shit about stupid things. Having a Nazi yelling at you doesn’t enhance that experience.

One person repeating the same ridiculous thing very loudly, over and over again does not make it mainstream.
For those who claim that Braverman 'has a view that is very mainstream' that the 'public largely agree with', let me be clear that she does not speak for me, and I could not disagree more with her
