Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I know also people have been saying this to you for two years and there's no reason I will uniquely be listened to but hey, if one of us breaks through, that's great.

The moderation decisions that this team is making are infested with transphobia and anti-Blackness and that can be taken seriously as an engineering problem or ... not.

It's easy to say white supremacy is guys burning crosses or going to college campuses and saying that Black gang members are the primary problem with gun violence in the United States

It's harder to admit that it's in all the small ways folks allow people to devalue Black life on a daily basis

The message that was sent with that ban and the excuse was given for it was violently anti-Black, and I have chosen my words here carefully.

I don't need you to discuss that with me, but I have to ask you to search your spirit as to what you're going to do about it and then do something.

I mean I don't need anyone to discuss Link with me. I need the rank in file within Bsky to make clear to leadership that they royally fucked that one up and every moment is a new opportunity to fix it. I don't need to be party to that conversation. I need y'all to understand it's not just about Link

And I gave my mind over to understand wisdom, to discern delirium and folly. I know that too is but courting the wind.
