"He went on to quote Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' concurrence in the court's decision this week to okay Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors. The ban makes exceptions for cisgender children receiving the same care as trans youth. The court didn't buy the plaintiffs' argument that such bans violate the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law, regardless of one's sex at birth. "What do you think?" Vance asked, practically begging to be smacked down."
"Vance became the site's most blocked user in its four-year history, with over 110,400 blocks in just a matter of days, according to Clearsky, which monitors social media activity. Vance has been blocked by upwards of 50,000 people in the last 24 hours alone. That's over 12 times more blocks than the site's second-most blocked account in the past day. And that account is Vance's official government feed. The vice president earned just 10,000 followers over his first two days on the platform."
Vice President JD Vance joined the Bluesky platform and posted an introductory message inviting political discussion. He quoted Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' concurrence supporting Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors and noted that the ban exempts cisgender children receiving similar care. The Supreme Court rejected plaintiffs' equal-protection arguments in that decision. Vance asked users for reactions, prompting widespread blocking and contempt. Bluesky users blocked Vance more than 110,400 times within days, including over 50,000 blocks in 24 hours, making him the platform's most-blocked account. He gained about 10,000 followers in his first two days.
