Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

And therefore the conclusion we should draw from this is...what? "Be more like Putin?"
Putin, for one example, doesn’t need a crime to issue arrest warrants.
Good luck ✌️

Predictable bitterness from the tedious Jamelle Bouie.
seriously, there is no evidence whatsoever that Weiss is capable of writing a news story, much less running a news organization. the actual quality of the writing at The Free Press is barely a notch above AI slop.

Blueskyism is the kind of smug, preachy post likely to be sent by Michael Hobbes, calling out any deviation from identity orthodoxy as pure heresy.
That Hobbes can't recognize this partially stems from his lack of actual curiosity about what motivates those who disagree with his worldview.

"Better those kids know now"
Better they be boo'd. Kids.
Of course, what is happening to immigrant kids is far far worse, but does that make it ok to be cruel to other kids, even kids of a an awful man?
You've lost your humanity.

People who feel bad for JD Vance’s kids as family gets booed at Disneyland. I get it, but better those kids know now what their father is about. Other kids are watching their parents get shipped off to gulags.

It’s weird that Bouie criticizes the anti-woke “obsession with language” while the guy he favorably quotes is literally defending “sensitivity to language politics.”
It’s the woke who constantly emphasize avoiding offensive words.🤷♂️

it is worth saying that the “anti-woke” character here is a humanities professor at a small liberal arts college & i will again observe that the anti-woke obsession with language reflects the extent to which they are primarily engaged in a status competition with their peers and not politics per se
I am so sick of these faux ‘left’ types laundering MAGA talking points by pretending that sensitivity to language politics is elitism incarnate. Guess what? Giving a shit about how you treat people is the foundation of a consistent politics oriented towards justice, including anti-capitalism.

1) It's necessary for liberals on Bluesky to stand up for free speech. Activists are telling you @jessesingal.com is a "bad actor" and should be banned. He is not and should not. He does not harass, threaten, or dehumanize anyone; and he is certainly not anti-trans. What makes the activists so--
So @jessesingal.com somehow makes Bluesky not "safe"?
He's a writer. He writes words. None of them are even hateful much less violent! They're just words!
The level of pure insanity in that worldview boggles my brain!
