My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman. Now let’s ask why we accept a society where this can happen at any large gathering.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · last yr.Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.
By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.
Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

BREAKING: We're suing to block the unlawful National Guard deployment in Memphis. President Trump’s militarization of our cities puts the American people at risk and threatens our democracy. So we're going to court to stop it.

So I’m following at least three journalists/activists on social media that appeared to be in the midst of a mental health crisis. I’ll be honest, I’ve had my own moments over the last few weeks. The news cycle right now is unprecedented and brutal. Please take care of yourselves.
