With the collapse of what remained of the democracies, there came only dim and silent recognition from the people. What difference did the formality make, being “still a democracy” one day, “fascism” the next? The average person felt they had been living under tyranny as long as they could remember.

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life.
Be proud of being different♡

Greta Thunberg just said something profound—Palestinians don’t need people to come to their rescue but rather the world to end our complicity in their oppression. What’s the difference? That it is we, the complicit, who are in danger, under threat. We can’t help Gaza because we can’t help ourselves.

The federal government under Stephen Miller is explicitly trying to start a civil war.

That is my statement.

I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

Anything you can give would be huge

History didn't start two years ago tomorrow.
128 Years since 1st Zionist Congress
108 Years since Balfour Declaration
77 Years since Israel created (continuing Nakba)
18 Years since Israel started Gaza Seige

From the river to the sea, Palestine MUST BE FREED!

Everyone holding power over ANYTHING rn is petty, cruel, and manipulative in all the same ways I have known abusers to be. Feels kinda hard to do any healing when I’m constantly realizing our whole damn society is run by vindictive paternalists with pathological ego problems.

Musk’s takeover of Twitter was a test-run/dogwhistle for what conservatives were gonna do to America. The current punitive crashout of Bluesky’s overseers feels a bit like a lesson in masks coming off of scratched liberals.

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

She Sent Money to Family in Gaza. ICE Claimed It’s Evidence She Supports Hamas. To keep her in ICE detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

"[A] typical part of the financial lives of immigrant families."

"Trump administration has pointed to these wire transfers as evidence that [Kordia] potentially supports Hamas."

"[S]he's lost 'nearly 175 family members.'"
