Vice President JD Vance trolled users of BlueSky on Wednesday, joining the social platform to take part in “common sense political discussion” of the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding state bans on gender mutilation surgeries.

Vance created an account on BlueSky, reputedly a platform for leftists and defectors of Elon Musk’s X, and posted a screenshot of a piece of Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurrence in United States v. Skrmetti shortly before the vice president was apparently suspended from the site. Vance’s account was then reactivated a short time later.

In the concurrence, Thomas raised objections to “deferring to the authority of the expert class.”

“First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the ‘wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices,’” Thomas wrote. “Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs, there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children.”

“Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts’ view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves,” he continued. “Fourth, there are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.”

Vance posted the snippet with an encouraging, if cheeky, message inviting “discussion and analysis” of Thomas’ argument.

“Hello Bluesky, I’ve been told this app has become the place to go to for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I’m thrilled to be here to engage with all of you,” Vance said before laying out “illuminating” points from Thomas’ concurrence.

“[Thomas] argues that many of our so-called ‘experts’ have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth,” Vance said. “I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?”

Progressives on BlueSky pounced on Vance’s post. Gun control activist Fred Guttenberg called Vance an “anti-Democracy hack” and said of the vice president’s post that BlueSky “does not need to be infested with your deranged thoughts.”

Zach Kopplin, an activist and investigator with the Government Accountability Project, responded to Vance’s post: “Time to cyber bully JD Vance off this app.”

In United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court upheld a state ban on transgender drugs and surgeries in Tennessee. The court ruled that the ban does not violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

“In today’s historic Supreme Court win, the common sense of Tennessee voters prevailed over judicial activism,” said Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. “A bipartisan supermajority of Tennessee’s elected representatives carefully considered the evidence and voted to protect kids from irreversible decisions they cannot yet fully understand.”

Avowed leftist Mark Ruffalo is at it again, claiming that “billionaires” are the real problem while immigrants contribute nothing but hard work and prosperity to the country.

The 57-year-old “Avengers” actor spoke on the topic while attending one of several “No Kings” protest rallies that took place over the weekend. A video of his rant began circulating on social media.

Ruffalo said in the video that “immigrants aren’t the criminals,” claiming they “add to our economy by the billions.” He also said white people commit “most of the crimes” in society.

The actor said billionaires are “the true villains,” and the ones who are “really making our lives unbearable and making us so desperate.”

“It’s time to take our country back from that extreme wealth that has its hands all over the power of the nation,” said Ruffalo, whose estimated net worth is around $35 million. 

Many social media commenters called out the Hulk actor for his comments, pointing out how immigrants who came here illegally are technically criminals.

“How is he that rich but also that stupid?” one person wondered.

“This does prove what a great actor he is. Mark can play the brilliant Bruce Banner despite his extremely limited grasp on reality and logic,” another said. 

“I think he took one too many headshots from Thanos,” another commenter joked.

Several days ago, the actor went off on President Trump and ICE enforcement in another social media post, Variety reported.

“You want to get rid of the people who are picking your food, without a care in the world for who is poisoning your bodies with chemicals that aren’t ever meant to be in nature. You want to drive out those who make your life easier but not question those who dull your minds with lies and disinformation meant to confuse you and destroy brotherly and sisterly love for us here? You’re pointing your guns in the wrong direction,” he wrote in the lengthy screed.

“The president is a grifter,” Ruffalo continued. “His family is raking it in with their bitcoin con, the dopey tech billionaire takes your tax money to make himself richer than any person in the history of mankind with his pipe dream of living on Mars, while you starve, while you worry, while he gleefully lets people with AIDS, people suffering famine, or persecution or political danger silently die. He fires your family members, and stops cancer research to help cure the ones you love.”
