Worked for me!
I found this worked for me: every time I found an account on BlueSky I unfollowed it on Twitter and before long the Twitter feed dwindled to the point I wasn't tempted to pop back in there again

In spite of their janky website that keeps jumping back to the top (on iOS Safari) I highly recommend the beers from localbrewingco.com - and not just because Regan gave me free pints! It’s really good! And maybe I suck at testimonials.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.
Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.
Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person
Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.
Not just the right.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
