Among the many things one could say about this:
Journalists will not—and steadfastly refuse to—write similar stories about queer kids who were rejected by their families and forced into poverty and homelessness. The children who were harmed never get sympathy in these stories.
It’s telling.

So... @support.bsky.team still hasn't given any tangible help on how we can get access to our @thetriibe.com account again.

Disgusted, absolutely shameful
Also, 4 Republicans voted nay (Cruz, Lee, Moran, and Paul) & 3 didn't vote (Daines, Hawley, & Moody). Meaning this bill absolutely could not have passed this stage without the support of the Democrats.
