Never again is now! Please repost!
Tomorrow marks 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
We will never forget the 6 million Jews murdered in cold blood and all the victims of the Holocaust.

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

Not a good sign that NBC news cut into a football highlight show last night with "BREAKING NEWS" about a presidential pardon, while Trump's attempts to end our country as we know it go mostly unmentioned.

another hot take on "listen lefties, you need to get out of your filter bubble and debate right wingers on social media to prevail in the marketplace of ideas"
in US & UK & elsewhere, the right wings are operating as cults. you can't debate them, they're not fact-based, they don't live in reality

Blocking en masse is so easy here! 💙
Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.
My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.
Here are my rules why I block them:

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
