The verification doesn't work like on Twitter, it's just proving the identity, it's not some flag of prominence.

There's even multiple organizations who can issue verifications on bluesky, for example newspapers can act as verifiers of their own staff;

I did understand that :)

But still: Verifying means you officially acknowledge their existence. And they are horrible pieces of shit; thereby acknowledging their existence should automatically include making the facts visible. There's no reason not to call evil evil.

EDIT: Also, your comment was well-written and I have no need to actually argue against you. So, do not worry. I do not completely agree with you, but my disagreement is not terribly strong either :)

When I'm showing people the kind of shit this administration posts as an argument against them, I want to know it's real.

And I don't want to have to be on Nazi Twitter to do that any more than I have to.
