Really wish bsky had an option to disable retweets of certain people you follow because I really do not want to have my entire feed for the day blasted with all the awful shit the US is putting the world up with again.

It helps at least! I don’t think there’s a full solution as of yet.
I use that plus the discover tab, I also submitted my own feedback to the devs and they told me they’re considering Muting only retweets as an option, but it’s been a while since that…
If you’re willing to try some third-party clients, some of them, like https://deck.blue, do let you mute/disable reposts from specific users. I use it extensively.
You can filter out certain words from your feed like "Trump" and stuff if you want /not saying your complaints are invalid just trying to help you find a solution :>
No shade on people doing it, I get that it's important to share and inform, especially to cis people. But I honestly barely made it to this year and I want to worry about anything else atm that isn't the incoming hostility from a foreign country bc the US can't leave Latin America alone for 5 mins.
You can blacklist certain words (Like obviously political ones) for the next week or so, then take them back off once the initial (and completely understandable) fear responses die down a bit.
I used a bunch of filters to not show posts with specific words in them. That keeps most of the annoying politics out of my timeline, and they are easy to disable afterwards.

It’s *just* posts, no replies or retweets, sometimes it takes a second to update, but it helps with declutterring a lot

I really hope Bsky adds it natively soon, tho.
This is my lived reality. I don't need reminders. 🫠
