A prominent critic of the Trump regime was suspended on #Bluesky. Then it turns out it was because she made a joke/cultural reference that they mistook for a death threat.

On Monday, Jasmine Crockett announced her bid to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in next year’s election,
a move that took place just hours after Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) dropped out of the race to run in a newly drawn House district.
The congresswoman,
a frequent critic of Donald Trump,
accompanied the announcement with a 45-second clipwhere she stares in silence and eventually cracks a smile as audio of the president’s insults toward her plays throughout.

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.

I've always been a critic of "Stoicism for the military" events and talks. I think the military often abuses a philosophy whose core aspects include cosmopolitanism and that pushes people to do the right thing, especially against power.

Trump’s White House is taking on the role of media critic and asking for help from “everyday Americans.”
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the White House launched a web portal it says will spotlight bias on the part of news outlets,
targeting the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as its inaugural “media offender of the week.”
It’s the latest wrinkle in the fight against the First Amendment

According to Russian independent news site Mediazona, the charges against him stem from an article Udaltsov posted online in support of another group of Russian activists accused of …

Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters that the heads of American oil companies were informed of the US military’s attack on Venezuela—even before it took place.
Trump’s admission sparked condemnation because the administration refused to consult with US lawmakers about the operation, citing fears of a leak that would compromise operational security.

New reporting on Monday detailed just how much US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has spent on weaponry since Donald Trump took office
—weapons that have been purchased as the administration has turned federal agents on US cities such as Chicago and Portland, illustrating how the president is treating increasingly armed ICE officers as his
“private military,” as one progressive critic said.
The agency spent $71,515,762 on small arms from January 20—the day Trump began his…

Trump’s ICE jacks up weapons spending by 700%—including ‘guided missile warheads’
“ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans,” said one critic.
