Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I'm transgender;

I made a lot of Nazis & transphobes very angry by getting them kicked off Reddit;

I know too much about hate groups on 2015-2022 Reddit;

I am learning to read sheet music, play a keyboard, build synth patches, and I enjoy folk music & October Project.

So, uh, Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the GOP just did the scene from the end of Fight Club, where they blow up all the people's debt records, only, uh, the complete inverse of that

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Real Quick - I'm mostly decided but, if someone is a self-declared promoter of Russia & has a PFP of Putin, it should be assumed that the account is also transphobic & white supremacist, correct?

George Voinovich Manuscript (@bsakat.bsky.social):

Oh, yeah. Hunnert percent.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Very convincing position

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

To add:

Someone can be sued civilly for threats posted online;

Chuds aren't stupid - they know the boundaries the referees work with, they can and will get your account suspended;

Everything you post online goes into a Federal data warehouse in Utah for a minimum of 5 years. E VER Y THIIIIIIING

Chad Loder (@chadloder.bsky.social):

I cannot emphasize enough how stupid it is to publicly threaten DOGE employees with violence.

You might think it's fun to blow off steam, but trust me: the FBI raiding your home at 5am is not fun. A federal criminal case will bankrupt you and ruin your life and career.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

we used to have administrative professionals in the us fed dot gov whose job it was to make sure that the PII (name, address, identifying details) of US Citizens never crossed the desks of Executive branch officers w/o a court order

Trump / Musk "fired" them all, & are witchhunting

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Elon, for the past 2 years, has turned Twitter into a massive witch-hunt particle accelerator. The accounts he talks to the most are professional witch-hunters and those who use the services of professional witch-hunters.

Don't give them surfaces to latch onto

Cersei Transnister 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️🦋 (@khatunjessicabeki.org):

Yes

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Highly persuasive.

Cersei Transnister 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️🦋 (@khatunjessicabeki.org):

I mean do you need an argument?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'm always open to a fact-based affirmative / positive argument that instantially this particular propagandist-c*m-unregistered-foreign-agent is evidentially schism'd from the Kremlin on ethnosupremacist & LGBTQ issues, but — in the absence of hard facts, reasonable to assume that in for a penny —

Cersei Transnister 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️🦋 (@khatunjessicabeki.org):

Seems hard to schism from the heart of putinism but still supports it.

2) says the US should sell out Taiwan to China for concessions in Antarctica (???)

ffs I have less braincells reading OP on Taiwan. Do they legit think it's a US territory? The mimicking of terrorist apartheid State Dept besty is a nominal head dent at this point.

Wonder how to Yoda-ify "Git 'er done"

"Done, get her, we shall, hmm, yes"

A problem I foresee:

Folks are looking forward to "People who supported Trump coming to their senses and joining the fight against fascism".

… the problem: It is so

incredibly rare

For people to swallow their pride, admit wrong, & do the right thing

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

There is a massive gulf between the segment of society that steers itself away from cruelty, sadism, sociopathic tendencies, and fascism

Vs

The segment that believes they can't be blamed for choosing Option F off the menu, because if it's so bad, why would they put it on the menu, eh

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

There is no culture in America or the English Speaking World of backing down, apologising, and changing course

There is an overwhelming culture of Never Back Down, of overwhelming adversarial engagement

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If [person who enabled and moved in fascist circles for years while ignoring the clear statements of fascist intent] were to suddenly have the light of realisation dawn on them, that no, Curtis & JD & Peter weren't just trolling teh libz & gaming the markets & shitposting, they really do intend to…

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If that kind of person had a dawning of realisation and decided to move … what would it even look like? How would we know? How could they make amends? How could they be trusted? How could they escape that lifestyle & culture?

Yeah, it just straight up isn't going to happen. You're not going to get your moment of vindication. Best you can do is just work for victory, whatever that looks like

hey fhayek.bsky.social is a trumper. just got excited at me about deporting jews after deporting muslims. just FYI if you're looking for a block. clearly missed by some of the maga blocklists.

Thanks for the heads up, they were already muted for me by this blocklist, in case it can help anyone: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I've now added that account to the Nazis (White Identity Extremism) list & transphobes list as well. The Hate Enablers list is more of a precaution

If plans to annex Canada actually become military reality all US military officers who take their oaths seriously should use the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of nature that often passes us by, like wonderful flowers such as the Carnation.

Queerhawk 🏳️🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 (@alwaysadorecats.bsky.social):

This is unthinkable, but here I am thinking it:

If Trump gave an order to invade Canada, he would be triggering NATO Article V against the United States itself. So the only constitutional response by those officers to such an order is to treat it as an immediate, irrevocable resignation from him.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Sentence 1: I fully agree.

Sentence 2: It's far more involved than that, and would precipitate a crisis

Queerhawk 🏳️🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 (@alwaysadorecats.bsky.social):

Honestly it would be a crisis, not just precipitate one.

But strictly, logically - an armed attack on Canada is an armed attack on the US itself, as a whole, no matter the source of that attack. That would be levying war against the United States.

Queerhawk 🏳️🌈 | 🇺🇦 | 🛡 (@alwaysadorecats.bsky.social):

Even if there were a legal fiction that he would technically be the President until formally impeached and convicted, a member of the chain of command knowingly ordering an attack on American troops and civilians is self-evidently removed from that chain of command.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I don't know exactly what would happen in the US legally, since NATO membership is by treaty, & therefore equivalent to a Constitutional amendment, but also "not self executing" in the language of the treaty, & US policy is sovereignty. I don't think there are playbooks for this scenario. —
