MLK helped inspire the movements of the 60s and 70s which put pressure on the US forcing it to leave Vietnam. His speeches have inspired activists and rebels all over the world, why do you think he was killed?

If you are in the US there are ample ways to help the world. Many parts of the armaments for the military industry are produced in small factories around the US with relatively little security. The soldiers that fight in the imperialist wars are recruited in US cities. Drones are cheap and can even be assembled by yourself with fairly low amounts of money.

You can’t “save the world” by yourself, but the systems that are causing the massacres and ecocide across the earth all have weak points and are only comprised of so many people. The working people always massively outnumber the forces against us.

Why does Bluesky have to verify them? They are a terror group, using social media to recruit and further their racist terrorism. I don’t think they should be pre-emptively banned necessarily but I don’t buy these arguments here about how they must be given a microphone to broadcast nazi messages.

True they have been guilty for a while, but they didn’t always post like they have been now, as a part of DHS who posts nothing but fascist propaganda on other social media these days I doubt their posts would be different. ICE is actively recruiting so just having the account is an ad for joining, not that different than a corporate business social media. I agree with the idea that a communication platform should be neutral politically, in general, but it is a special situation when an agency is currently waging a violent campaign and uses social media to further their agenda and blurring of the truth. They are a government agency but not a necessary one and it’s not essential they are allowed on a third-party social media platform, it could be argued their conduct and behavior as a group is already against the policies of Bluesky like condoning violence.

But anyway I agree they shouldn’t necessarily be blocked preemptively, a rogue poster could use the account to say “ICE are terrorist thugs” or something.

Posting propaganda for a terrorist organization engaged in widespread public abuse is against their rules, do they allow official verified pages for groups like ISIS or Boko Harem?
