Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account was suspended within minutes of him joining the platform. His posts criticized medical treatments for transgender youth and claimed pharmaceutical influence over healthcare decisions.

He should join one of the tankie Lemmy instances for a real choice treatment. That would be fun for to watch for 5 minutes

What we would give for that

I'd pay so much money to see JD get 1v1000 dogpiled by tankies on any topic. It might be one of the few times i'd be on their side.

This looks like some good sealioning. He probably didn’t write it himself. I think he was playing to his fans and trying to discredit Bluesky and its community guidelines. I wonder if Musk paid him, or if he did this on his own.

The account is back. I reported it for misinformation and lying.

Remember when Twitter - even before leon bought it - decided Trump was too important to ban, even tho he was violating the shit out of their TOS...

Does the PBC that owns BlueSky have an official stance on whether political officials can be "too big to ban?"

Is Justice Thomas a doctor or a scientist? No?

Then who gives a shit what his opinion is. He should be listening to the experts...not contradicting them. If his ruling is based solely on his personal feelings on this topic, then he needs to recuse himself from this case.

That is one stupid sonofabitch.

Isn't Truth Social available for people like him?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He should make a tumblr account. Tumblr admins are happy for people to post death threats against trans people and wishes for genocide, but ban trans people for calling out transphobic pseudoscience and Holocaust denial.

Think you're in trouble now? Wait until Trump expires and the real monster shows his "hillbilly ugly" face.

He isn't banned, takes just a second to check.

Talking about the highlighted part of Thomas's statement. They're enshrining anti-intellectualism into court rulings

"Bad arguments and substandard science" - AKA, this administration's unofficial motto.
