@BlueDot Preemptive blocking is really a bridge too far when it comes to government agencies.

The bigger story is not that #fascists were blocked on #BlueSky, but that they were welcome on BlueSky in the first place.

Normally I would agree, but these are not normal times.

When #fascists are in charge, we can expect that all federal agencies are going to spew lies, all the time. We've already seen it from Homeland Security, from the Pentagon, from the CDC, from the White House.

For the same reason I recommend that journalists boycott White House press briefings, I recommend that decent people block those #BlueSky accounts for the duration.

Thanks to my "Make America Kittens Again" plugin on Firefox, they are also blocked on your post. The plugin censors any images of Trump with pictures of cats and kittens.

Screengrab of Lauren Weinstein's post that says "White House and other Trump Fascist federal agencies appear on Bluesky and are immediately widely blocked." Under the link is a picture of a Siamese cat replacing a picture that must have showed Trump, or at least had Trump in the caption. Much better.
