I'm going to say it again: Immigration is good, actually. There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what. "Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

Today I saw a judge order a warrant for someone who didn't come to court because they are in the hospital with COPD. The judge said that because they knew their condition wasn't likely to improve, they should have gone to the hospital AFTER court.

Blacksky feels baked into bsky but 1) Rudy Fraser built it on his own a year ago 2) including funding it himself. Blacksky is why Bluesky "works" as an alternative to Twitter. Whether you're a member of the community or not, donating to Blacksky's operating costs helps keep Bluesky, Bluesky.
