Short of calling for targeted violence or self-harm—which I can’t imagine Sarah doing—the threshold for suspending the account of a journalist should be EXTREMELY high. This response to the outcry is only undermining trust further, @aaron.bsky.team. But it’s clear her suspension was NOT inadvertent.
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v

This is a great question and I'm not sure this is really my answer, but I'm now thinking that a bourbon advent calendar would be a great way to sample small portions of a variety of my favorite alcohol, since I seriously limit my drinking these days
everything is bonkers right now and we need a timeline cleanse. let’s play a game. if I handed you a blank check but you could ONLY spend it on an Advent calendar, what absurdly pricy collection of little treats are you buying yourself?

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that we’re never going to find out about?

Going to repeat this every time I see the GOP "plan":
I have kidney failure. I require dialysis to live. Three times a week every single week. It costs $1000 per treatment.
So either they need to give me a MINIMUM of $156,000 a year...or I'm going to die.

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.
