Wow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.

For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not.

Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.

Maybe you could check something before "thinking" out loud.

@Grutjes idk just my take that's surreal to me they'd make a blue sky account. Seems like a weird place for them.

All the other alphabet agencies joined Bluesky last year. I've blocked them all.

@biff52 @monkey @Grutjes yeah it's not a real departure from the Homeland cunts and JD Vance

True, but the last thing we should do is accept fascism because there is so much of it already.

Definitely, I mean it in more in the sense that BS has been mask-off for a while now.

Being on Bluesky allows ICE to recruit there, spread propaganda there, and follow anti-ICE accounts to more easily get information about protests or people to target. From ICE's point of view, there's no reason to not have an account there.

Bluesky and its fediverse bridges are now dangerous to anyone ICE may target (which may end up being a much wider section of the population than currently).

@monkey @Grutjes I have to ask why you would think it's weird for ICE to have a BS account, when their whole deal is trying to gestapo US citizens, and BS is known to be a liberal hub where people openly share contacts and plans and state their political stances. It feels to me like the perfect place to try to surveil the opposition and collect "evidence"

@monkey @Grutjes Why? It's a site that welcomes transphobes and Zionists alike, goes out of its way to ban Palestinians - even celebrities such as the Palestinian filmmaker Lexi Alexander - and on top of that has already verified JD Vance.

Oh yeah, and the CEO is an AI techbro.

What part of that is supposed to scare off ICE?
