Like the anti-vaccine stuff, this is deliberate biological warfare on the American underclass. (Gay people, in this case, because the right still believes shit from the 1980s.)

the rational response to learning of Epstein's 24/7 access to white-glove treatment from some of the world's best surgeons and medical practitioners is to conclude that privatized health care is a moral, ethical, and medical catastrophe. it's reasonable to call for the whole system to be rethought

Met someone who spent their career building programs to support underrepresented scientists at all career stages. We asked what he wished he knew earlier. He said he wished he knew how to make these programs sustainable, so that his life work didn't crumble with a change in leadership.

Spam fake news site.

Another one of these. Please report and block.

And it would be nice if @safety.bsky.app got rid of the bot army.

Fake post about death toll in Iran.

This is a fake, and the post has thousands of likes and reposts inflated by a bot army. Report and block.

nobody on here or twitter who says listen to local voices is, for example, saying listen to Bahrainis when they cheer against their pro US dictatorship and for the missiles being lobbed at US military positions. Why? i thought we were listening to local voices about their yearning for democracy.

Selfie picture of Abood and Hammam.

Picture of Hammam outside the tent. The floor is sand, the tent looks patched and old.

Hammam's mother doing laundy in a bucket. All their belongings are spread on the ground. Displaced people in Gaza have almost nothing.

Picture of Abood sitting on a blanket with a wrapping around his leg. He looks to be in pain.

🚨
The crossings in Gaza are closed, goods are expensive, and we are starving.
My brother has a broken leg & needs surgery. Our lives are catastrophic; we are displaced. We implore you to donate & support us so we can buy food supplies & get my brother treatment.

you should be ashamed for giving this attention

her son accidentally ended his own life and just happened to be in a war zone when he did it
and she's happy about this because we are all the same to her as she is a racist

I am feeling vindicated to have full confirmation that channels do that though, I have been reporting any ads that come up that are just a full video (even though clearly yt is totally on board, it's the only way to really make myself heard without going out of my way)

so Mr beast buys his by just submitting them as and and that as a view, I could have told you that -- have you ever met anyone who has watched a video of his? ever ever?

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

yeah there are lots of schools on US bases

I’m about to “both sides” a phenomenon but stay with me because I think the same mechanism can explain why some people see people helping each other everywhere while others see only the cold shoulder.

A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today. YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken “major operations” in Iran and has also said “U.S. lives might be lost.” YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately: - Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement - Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House. - Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

Do it now.

Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices.

Script here again.

remember when she got a Palestinian poet killed because he made a joke on Twitter

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

The King is mad

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

pure evil

the fucking alt text 😭

I've been thinking about how this has already played out in games - there was a massive push to convince the industry and world that there was this huge audience of angry reactionary gamers who weren't getting what they demanded. And it turned out there weren't that many and they don't buy games

This has me crying in real life 😂😂😂

It's really fucked up actually that if you say "there's a country in SWANA that uses illegal weapons freely given by the US to commit genocide against children and even though they've killed US citizens we let them keep doing it," you could be describing any of THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

“There’s Another Way”: Rent Relief, Love Letters, and 1,000 Pee Funnels "There’s nothing like getting to give someone their rent money," says mutual aid organizer Ashley Fairbanks.

I talked with @ziibiing.com about Stand With Minnesota, keeping neighbors housed during ICE escalation, and directing generosity where it’s actually needed.

We are a nation of folks who’ve decided that “you can’t make me” so integral to their lives they don’t mind it killing their kids

I am looking for a career coach who can help support a friend who has been a tenured professor in the humanities who needs to be thinking about next steps outside the professoriate. (Not me.) Has anyone here had a good experience with a specific coach?

yeah I'm in the process of finding people I care about over here and archiving some stuff but I've been private and inactive for a while, can't wait to also delete
