Bluesky's heavy-handed, callous approach to moderating Palestinian accounts here has completely backfired and forced spammier behavior from people just trying to get a chance to be heard. I was more than happy to be an early signer to this letter.
Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.
Netanyahu says Israel won’t stop the war until Trump’s plan to remove all Palestinians from Gaza has been implemented, calling the idea ”so correct and so revolutionary.” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit.
We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.
