Social Media Alternatives Now That TikTok’s Changed Ownership Instagram alternatives too 😁

@cutoffthespigot.bsky.social is a fantastic resource for finding alternatives to oligarch controlled companies and platforms. They also recommended Communities in their recent post on social media alternatives!

We're building a cooperative Facebook alternative called Communities. Funded by users, governed by workers and users together. Because we fund it and govern it, we'll be able to ensure that it stays healthy, helpful, and ours forever.

It's in Open Beta. Come check it out!

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

So what are we going to do about it? Are we going to shout on social media?

Or are we going to match into the halls of Congress and strike such terror into the hearts of every depraved coward enabling this administration that they resign on the spot?

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.

Communities uses a friend model, long form posts, and supports groups. We're working on events next.

It's designed to help communities connect and organize. We're working towards making it a nonprofit, cooperative. It will be governed by its workers and users, not owned by oligarchs.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the β€œSAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about β€œelection integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.

β€œWe’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.

I started sobbing uncontrollably.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her.
Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". πŸ™„

🚨"They're stealing the car!"

As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolisβ€”in front of an elementary schoolβ€”then chased him. After failing to catch himβ€”they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
