Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate.
If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

It's beginning to look like the Epstein files are just a distraction. Just bc Epstein is gone, doesn't mean the sex trafficking has stopped, and we know who the biggest crypto users are...
The senators had argued Blanche’s shutdown of crypto investigations would help support drug trafficking, child exploitation and scams.
Now, they say their fears have been realized: Illicit crypto activities surged in 2025, a study found.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.
My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.
Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.
If not, why not?

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
