SPOG functions as a protection racket, not unlike most urban police “unions.”

Call em whatever you like, anyone still supporting Trump at this point does not get a pass.

Yes And The open Internet is the open Internet. Happily, Bluesky allows some nice controls over who gets to interact. Not so much the heil site. If you’re there, you’re not in “your space.” You’re in Elon’s.

This is literally Seattleites on all social media, in which the City is a glorious punchbowl full of resident turds doing the backstroke I guess my constant complaining about Seattleites constantly complaining means I’m a Seattleite
