Bard spotting on Bluesky 03 April 2025

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

Regular reminder that the /r/the_donald was the largest promoter of antisemitic hatred on Reddit by traffic measurement, 2018-2020

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

Trump has associated himself with any number of White Identity Extremist antisemitic personalities. He pardoned many of them.

The Trump admin claim of fighting antisemitism is entirely a pretext for seizing power and persecuting brown people.

TrickyC (he/him) (@trickyc66.bsky.social):

and it's wild we can't just point that out and have a caring system respond with urgency and belief

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

Ms Cross is 100% correct.

Cisgender people!

When the Trump admin comes out with these "reports" targeting transgender medicine & people,

ALL YOU NEED TO REPLY WITH IS:

"… y'all the same people denying the theory of evolution and global warming. Don't you have some Ivermectin to shill?"

Katherine Alejandra Cross (@quinnae.com):

I've seen some dooming about this. Let me present an alternative point of view: whatever report(s) get produced from this directive will not have the intended effect among liberal populations because they're already very negatively polarised against all things Trump/RFK Jr.

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

Someone is inevitably going to try to presume that these reports are in some way defensible. Don't make that mistake. They have presumed their desired conclusions beforehand & will bring in the slimiest of quacks to manufacture an irreproducible study & will demand action be taken on it immediately

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

They literally hired a dude who ran the Intelligent Design wedge attack to insert Protestant sectarian theology into taxpayer-funded public school science classes, to run their culture war campaign against transgender medicine and people.

Gillian Branstetter (@gbbranstetter.bsky.social):

This is functionally what the Cass Review was in the UK and lots of people in prestige media swallowed it whole while accusing trans people ourselves of "politicizing science" by pointing that out

Max Kozlov (@maxkozlov.bsky.social):

NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning.

This will create "a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist", researcher Harry Barbee says.

Dumbledoresarmy (@atlantadem.bsky.social):

And when the research finds that there is maybe a 2 to 3% regret among transition patients, they will quash that study

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

It's lower. The lower bound is 0.2% as reported by medical practitioners, and upper bound is 1% as self-reported by a cohort of 7,000 transitioners. And IIRC the cohort was tracked over 30 years.

Lying (@lying.bsky.social):

And of the even smaller population of detransitioners, the vast majority reported doing so for social reasons more than anything else, and most of them ultimately went on to re-transition. People who transition and actually realise it was a bad idea afterwards are a Vanishingly tiny group.

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

recent news about Trump floating the idea of the USA "joining the Commonwealth" reminded me of this fact about the UK treaty joining Aotearoa to the Commonwealth

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

When the founding treaty was drafted & signed, it was written out in English & in the Māori language.

The English version has been interpreted as the Māori ceding the land & sovereignty to the UK monarch.

The Māori language merely says they join the UK & retain the land & sovereignty.

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

2025 is the year that America and the rest of the world finally grok why Reddit (home of Free Hate Speech G*merGating) finally banhammered all these chuckleheads in 2020

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

Framing students and professors as antisemitic

Extorting law firms

And now tariffs against everyone else (except, glaringly, Russia)

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

Their goal will be to leverage social murder to get people fired, disowned, cast out, harassed, assaulted, and murdered, based solely on allegation

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

The law firms that bring suit against unconstitutional actions are the professional moderators. And the Trump admin has ground through them speedily, because they view their work not as promoting values, but as generating $ value.

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

However bad you think it will get, it will get that bad and worse.

because what they're doing to the US Federal Government right now is stripping out every person who would enforce the law, decency, and has a conscience.

All the professional moderators.

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

"The scientists supporting the powerhungry AI-developing multibillionaire space mogul's quest for immortality, wouldn't be a bunch of careless, protocol-ignoring jerkoffs that triggered Armageddon, they'd be smarter than that, we already have —"

Do we

Do

    We

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

Overnight, the audience of /r/Conservative highly upmarseyd White Identity Extremist racist content targeting African-Americans, with zero pushback in the comments. The post is still up despite subreddit operators removing a handful of comments.

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

/r/Conservative is on Reddit's Partner Communities council program

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

Misogynist hate speech was covered by the gender identity policy.

Was.

Taylor Lorenz (@taylorlorenz.bsky.social):

SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing 'gender identity and expression' from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

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

JFC we are so so fricked.

"At War With China" means almost 70% of the entire world's factory manufacturing gets nixed. Over Taiwan means like 40%+ of the entire world's semiconductor mfg is nixed. These insecure dipsticks are really going to touch off a fight for control of the world

Olga Nesterova (@onestpress.bsky.social):

🧵WaPo: A secret memo from SecDef Hegseth tells military: get ready for war with China over Taiwan. Everything else [Russia, Iran, terror groups] is secondary

The memo copies parts of a 2024 Heritage Foundation report, now DOD guidance—almost word for word. The report's co-author runs Pentagon policy

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

there is no winning a war with china. Over anything. Especially without NATO.
