Bluesky, I need your help. Or rather, my friend Makgosi does. She's trying not to get evicted from her place - as a wheelchair-user, accessible accommodation is so difficult to find - and is in a huge pickle this month. If you've got anything to spare, her PayPal is mletimile@gmail.com ❀️

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Universities around the world cut ties with Israeli academia over Gaza war Educational bodies from Europe to South America are boycotting Israeli institutions, though Universities UK said it did not support the action A growing number of universities, academic institutions and scholarly bodies around the world are cutting links with Israeli academia amid claims that it is complicit in the Israeli government’s actions towards Palestinians. According to Gaza’s health ministry, more than 63,000 people have been killed in the territory – the majority of them civilians – with the true toll likely far higher. UN-backed experts have confirmed parts of Gaza, much of which has been reduced to rubble, are now in a β€œman-made” famine. Continue reading...

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Love this! "The ruling comes after two Free State women and their husbands challenged the constitutionality of the act and won in the lower court. They then decided to take the matter to the apex court, saying the act is, among other things, archaic and patriarchal." #SouthAfrica

How to stop Israel from starving Gaza Israel has crossed the clear line into the darkest crimes.

At the upcoming UN General Assembly, by a vote of two-thirds present and voting, the UNGA should suspend Israel from the UN until it lifts its murderous siege on Gaza, based on the precedent of suspending South Africa during its apartheid regime. Remember: the US has no veto in the UNGA.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

Ukraine has currently disrupted 17% of Russia’s oil refining production. If they can get the level to 30%, domestic demand would far exceed supply. That’s when things start to fall apart.
