George Takei on BlueSky

Speaking out against attacks on the trans community:

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

This one especially: 

They hope that by targeting one group, the rest of us will cower. Such an environment gives an open invitation to fascism. It leads to discrimination, then segregation, then internment, and still worse. A compassionate, good people would not permit this to happen. We will not be divided against /6

This George Takei account on BlueSky is trying to scam me out of money via some crypto scheme in a private conversation, claiming that the banks are going to crash and I have to transfer my wealth into some quantum financial system and XRP and XLM via an app called LOBSTR. I've reported him a couple of times but nothing has been done.
