β€œTerrorist” Rhetoric Makes Us All Less Safe β€œTerrorism” is a term that lumps everyday Palestinians and Nelson Mandela in with ISIS and white supremacists. Is it time to retire it?

β€œTerrorism” is a slippery labelβ€”used to blur context, smear solidarity with Palestinian civilians, and justify endless violence.

Dayton Martindale argues it’s time to retire rhetoric that lumps Nelson Mandela in with ISIS and white supremacists.

Very funny watching the guys who run pro wrestling slowly realize that many wrestling fans love big, scary women just as much as we love tiny, pretty women

it is well past time to eradicate car-centered policy and decision making

our cities are already designed not to be car-centered
this is getting out of hand

the MFL subway is delayed either 10 or 30+ minutes, there is no other option. it has also frozen on the tracks. which means it doesn't run.

cars can't park because of the ice, so buses are getting trapped on streets because THIS CITY WAS BUILT FOR HORSES THAT'S WHY THE STREETS ARE SMALL

in case anyone would like to know how Philly is 3 weeks post-snow storm

ice on most the roads still. crosswalks and curb cuts still mostly ice or mounds of ice. still have to walk in the street in many spots.

trolleys randomly stop running at any time
broad street subway is currently not running

In November I went to a forum in Dallas for Texas attorney general candidates and I am not exaggerating when I tell you the #1 thing discussed was sharia law. Clinically insane politics.

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

the people crave organizing! lean into it! but remember to be principled. this is an important moment to seize.

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

Graph showing that as jail incarceration rates increase, so do county death rates

Graph showing that as jail incarceration rates increase, so do county death rates

The harms of incarceration hurt us all.

Higher jail rates are associated with higher county death rates – especially for Black people & women πŸ‘‡

there is no difference between ICE officers, local police, local sheriff's deputies, etc.

no matter who says what, they're all connected and they all share information. in public and private ways. they will not be policing each other, only you.

They frame this as something radical in order to lend credence to labeling her a domestic terrorist.

I researched all 50 states and nearly all have school districts w/ guidance like this. It is not some clandestine thing. It's policy. Everyone's a domestic terrorist. which is why it's so absurd.

like on top of getting ads constantly for this shit, i'm not getting ads for MICRODOSING IT when will we as society understand and call out how predatory this is? a pretty bare example of pharma/health insurance aiming to siphon as much money as possible

Personally the big red flag is that I’ve been absolutely flooded with ads for this stuff. There’s a big difference between a doctor recommending it to someone who’s struggled with alternatives and these companies constantly pushing that shit on us when it’s worse than free alternatives

i remember learning early on that ozempic ruins your metabolism (as well as kidneys), which is why i do not understand why people are so seemingly carelessly using it. what happens when you need to stop??

Post (now deleted) from @fangandtentacle that says "Every post that I've seen today that had 'Palestinian' written in it was flagged and hidden under a Muted Word.
I didn't mute it."

Viktor noticed that Bluesky started muting posts that had the word Palestinian in it without their say so and pointed that out

More union-busting bullshit!

After a handful of years of increasing worker power/unwillingness to take or do shitty jobs, they’re now creating an atmosphere of fear in workplaces.

β€œSpeak up and lose your job” seems to be the current mantra for leadership across industries.

Have you ever gone to pay your rent and there's a $3 fee on top of rent? Or maybe it costs $10 to pay with a credit card? Yeah. So that convenience/junk fee is actually illegal in several states.

Landlords do this all the time β€” but it's often illegal and makes the lease void.
