i really need bluesky to implement a “turn off reposts” feature so i can follow my local indivisible account for protests/events, but i don’t have to see all of the problematic, facebook-style reposts.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

this is, in part, why dems saying, “let’s reach across the aisle, worst case, we’ll write the gop a firm letter; they’ll see the error in their ways” is so ineffectual/enraging.

this admin has no conscious. you can’t ‘lead by example’ against those who crave power + don’t value human lives equally.

official government accounts dehumanizing entire cultures, broadcasting that the “sanctity of human life” or sites of cultural significance are as fictional to them as a video game and can be written off as easily. it would be laughable juvenile if the consequences weren’t so deadly.

What an absolutely despicable level of medical neglect this poor man suffered. This is the reality of these concentration camps and ICE will bring more of this to Marana and Surprise if those facilities open.

There are many reasons to object to censoring pornography, including that if you ban porn, EVERY bit of information can be called porn, and EVERY bit of information will have to prove it is NOT porn or "adult"--effectively createing the surveillance of creating or consuming any and all information

yuuuup. and this particular shopping center is directly adjacent to the Raritan River, making it all the more crucial to monitor water levels.

It's worth keeping in mind that Kansas has a strict voter ID law, so this law has essentially instituted a poll tax on all trans people in the state because they have to pay to get their ID replaced.

i pass this mall daily and also have memories of when it was thriving. it genuinely sits in a flood zone (somehow, the water main across 206 has burst several times in the past few years), raritan/somerset county NEEDS more housing, and it’s adjacent to one of the few walkable downtowns in the area.

Literally sitting in the City Council hearing about eviction prevention paying rents while I’m waiting to speak. If you want to help keep 11 immigrant families in public housing from being imminently evicted, I’m trying to raise $2500 for them 💛

Medical journal The Lancet blasts RFK Jr.’s health work as a failure Kennedy's destruction "might take generations to repair," The Lancet said.

It’s not a failure if you are a eugenicist who thinks a large swath of the population should die.

If it took personal suffering to understand the guy bragging about hurting people is hurting people then you're either incredibly stupid, or you were happy to watch the suffering as long as you were safe. You can't be trusted either way. You chose it 3 times. You're going to choose it again.
