Actually, I don't think Marissa was judging. My comment was more about people's assumptions about Bluesky. You can see by the trending posts that people are using Bluesky for a lot more than just politics and activism.
Or just look at what's trending on BSky:

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

A Connecticut woman’s quest to reclaim images of her ancestors--earliest known images of enslaved people in the US--locked away for decades at Harvard University, will end Wednesday, when they are unveiled to the public at a museum in South Carolina.

"The DHS white supremacist meme maker might be beloved, loathed, or simply just a person one rung higher on the career ladder than the next guy.…But in Trump’s Washington, at least, there is no political upside for anyone to name and shame them—that is, unless you want to be labeled an MSM snitch."👇
War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again!
The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...

There has been an idea for re-education style camps for homeless people for a long time. I remember getting a persuasive speech from a student about this back in the 90s.
We must end this war now.
Imagine if $383 million was spent on places to live for those in Arizona who need it instead of for buying and renovating a warehouse for an ICE detention center.
This is an obscenity. We have to flip Congress.
What. The fuck.
Trump wants to institutionalize homeless veterans. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
