easiest thing to look at is

who has ever received reparations from the government for the history of its racist, apartheid policies/laws

redlining, for example, was abolished in '68, but when did the wealth disparity it caused for 30+years get redistributed & rectified systemically?

Yes I AM saying the United States is an apartheid state, by the way, and if you don't agree with me I would refer you to literally the entire history of American housing law and the carceral state, THROUGH TODAY.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

For as many people wanting access to Black business, you guys sure don’t contribute to any Black businesses.

Based on this response lol, I genuinely do think the heritage foundation bullshit was the excuse, they had to have caught some flak from someone with money, especially given the heritage foundation thing was like a week and a half ago.

Quote post by Kate, Queen of the Squirrels
"Awww, Jay didn't like everyone knowing she followed transphobes. So much for bluesky's mission to allow us to moderate ourselves. I guess Jay's ego is more important."

Quoted post by Follow Tracker:
"This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible."

Follow Tracker's response to Kate:
"This is a lie and exactly why I'm shutting the goddamn thing down."

Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.
