Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Please help Haya build her future! 💕💸🍉

I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE MYSELF…
The person I once was is buried beneath the ruins of these endless nights.
My heart carries more pain than it can bear.💔

Every breath I take feels borrowed,
and every sunrise reminds me that I survived…
but I’m not truly alive.

✨ PLEASE STAND WITH US.
✨ BE OUR VOICE.🕊

...A botched Captain America retcon?

Tomorrow we're going to hear a lot of speeches and posts that pretend the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict began on October 7, 2023.

Tomorrow we're going to hear a lot of speeches and posts equating hundreds of deaths with hundreds of thousands of deaths,

"[SCOTUS] has a long history of disregarding if not openly disdaining the rights of people accused of crimes whose cases appear on the merits docket ... Over the summer, the Court had other things to attend to—namely, granting the administration's every wish. Now it's getting back to basics."

That has more to do with the fact that our political system rewards the most sociopathic, corrupt and unprincipled individuals than it does with Greta's undeniable courage.

This is Haya, 17, with her beloved cat Samih.

„Samih is in great need
of your help.
He hasn't eaten anything since
yesterday because I couldn't
provide him with food.
I tried to feed him bread and he
didn't accept it.
Samih needs your help
He is very hungry!“

BOOST 🆘

We are Reem and Sakher. Tomorrow marks exactly two years since this war began. Two years of loss, fear and endless pain. We have lost everything our homes, our memories, our safety, our dreams.
For five days now, no donations have reached us
More in the comments, read my words…💔

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

A Thoroughly Confused Country: An Introduction to Class Politics and a Way Forward Americans suffer from a lack of class consciousness, which makes them easy prey for manipulation

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people.

If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work.

Again, Trump is a symptom of a larger disease.

Whether it's him or someone else, conditions right now necessitate the wealth class embracing a fascist project. You have to look beyond him and see it's not an aberration but an evolution that we must stop.

💯
It takes two opposing sides to have a civil war, and I'm still wondering who people think the armed opposition is.

Democratic leaders never tire of courting conservatives. So the party leadership listens to plenty of people who will NEVER vote Democrat. That just doesn't include anyone who wants peace, living wages, climate justice, the end of Zionism, or universal health care.🤔

These Palestinian families have no shelter, only the cold ground. They urgently need blankets and pillows. Please, give what you can to keep them warm. ❤️

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

And yet, we users are the only reason anyone comes here. And even if we were paying, you'd eventually manage to make our experience worse.

Fun fact: Blue Sky is a poster's strike social network against Musk's takeover over Twitter.

Simple as that. He pissed off his users, they came here.

If you don't understand that, you don't understand your own business. How the fuck are you a CEO of it, then???

Haya is really unwell today, she likely has an ear infection and is in pain. She's also very tired 🙁

Please, if you can, send her a small donation so that she can buy medication and nutritious food. Haya is only 17...please support her. She needs to know there is still some good in this world! 🌸

Wow. It sounds like he thought he was sounding not-racist, when he was, in fact, sounding super-racist.🙄

California bans most law enforcement including ICE from wearing masks Law enforcement officials will also be required to identify themselves while conducting duties by both name and badge number.

The California law won't go into effect until 2026. By which time, if it isn't overturned, it will probably be obsolete because by then government goon squads will be doing even worse shit.
