one of the ice agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Every last one of them must be hunted down some day.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

There’s no way to show anything that’s on there to anyone that doesn’t have blue sky that I know of.

People I know who do not have this app is almost everybody, even when I post it on Facebook they’re not going to see it.

It’s like the Charlie Kirk thing, if people don’t know that he said that Biden should be killed and all Gay people should be killed etc. of course they’re gonna say what a sad day it was when he was shot. Yes it was sad because violence is wrong not because he was some great guy.

OK I see it works here, I really meant Facebook I guess because that’s where I’m usually trying to post them. When I do this over to Facebook all anyone sees is the blue sky name and they have to go to the site and I think to watch it they have to be a member.

They must’ve changed something, I’ve done that over 100 times and did not see anything but the words blue sky in a box and now it appears to be going over whether or not people who are not members of blue sky can watch it when they click on it I don’t know.


Yes, something definitely has changed over at bluesky and that’s great, without your response I probably wouldn’t have tried again.

Of their profile, and if I click on it I’ll be able to go to the app and watch it but I doubt anyone who is not a member will be able to and this is on Facebook.


Also I hit the arrow on the post hit share via then hit copy then texted it to a friend who is not a blue sky member and he could not watch it.

And when we tap on it here on the play button it does not play the video here it takes you to the app to play it and I would ask a non-blue sky member here to try that and see if they are able to see it.

What you’re encountering is a privacy setting preventing you from sharing. One workaround is do a screenshot, then upload as your own post. I hope that helps. Lmk if you have more questions. ❤️

… for “suspicious activity” over 3 months ago. No more information than that was given. I appealed. Not a meaningful word back. I think I was banned by bots and the 2 emails I got back in response to my 4 sent to them are meaningless bot blather.

Still no idea what happened. I certainly wasn’t doing anything at all except reading other people’s posts. I now just assume I’m banned without cause, a victim of a degree of ineptitude over there. But it is annoying when I can’t read DU links to posts over there.

ON EDIT: this is my second BlueSky post in as many days. Apologies, I don’t mean to flood the board. Guess I was hoping someone could direct me to a fix.

They must be inundated by malicious actors so that some of us get undeservedly snared in their not so accurate radar. Unfortunately, once I mentioned it online out of frustration some may have started thinking they might be right, so I seemed to have been ignored a lot. Maybe it was my imagination. The net is weird these days.

Meaning here or anywhere else I've mentioned it trying to get a handle on it. I don't mean ignored as in the ignore feature; that I can't know. Just fewer comments. I know bots are necessary when there's high volume, but I miss human monitoring. I doubt we'll see that again.

In childhood, when I first read about Germany during WW2, how the uniformed goons that made up the Gestapo, the SS, etc were recruited.

Now, I wonder the same about ICE and the other violent Trump goons.

What is it in some people to feel it is ok to be hired to violently repress fellow citizens?
And why their nearest and dearest are ok with that?
