Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 19h

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

When a bunch of babies got murdered in Sandy Hook these people went to piss on their graves. And, *after that* happened they elected Trump.

Watching true crime. Cops grabbed a fork a suspect used at restaurant to match it to a crime scene. But they couldn’t match it because it had multiple people’s DNA on it because the restaurant wasn’t cleaning the dishes well. 😭😭😭

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital."

Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.

Some experience dangerous complications as a result.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

And, I have no idea what those texts are about. They probably are vile. IDK. IDC. But, I *do* know that any criticism of Republicans has to be put in the mouth of a Democrat to ensure it is cast as partisan

No “critics say,” or “alleged” or other modifier. The quotation marks around the word “vile” are mine.

Can anyone not think of a single example of where CNN described any GOP statement or act as “vile”? Even Charlie Kirk?

OuterBoroPrincess @outerbororoyal.bsky.social · 1d

They have CNN (among other 24/7 news outlets) on in my office, and I glanced up to see a chyron describing some Dem AG nominee having their “vile” past texts come to light.
