You got the leader you wanted
I couldn’t believe this tweet was real. I had to go to X to check.
Incredibly, it is real. Has the PM *no* awareness of the reputation of BlackRock?

In response to the PM citing the country intends to work with exploitative, asset stripping companies like Blackrock, @labourlewis.bsky.social sums up the problem, as we all know it to be, quite simply.

Blackrock is one of the most powerful and utterly corrupt shadow banking outfits in the world. BlackRock has been criticized for investing in companies that are involved in fossil fuels, the arms industry, the People's Liberation Army and human rights violations in China.

I imagine it's got something to do with most people having migrated here to *escape* seeing racism and far-right rhetoric on their timelines, Lewis
I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

Bluesky is proving a fantastic relief from the hellhole that Twitter was turned into.
But it's crucial that the most marginalised voices (like those suffering genocide) are here too.
If not, X will remain relevant.

Can you lot stop 'moderating' Palestinian accounts please
Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!
With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:
