Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

It makes you start asking what kind of evidence they would have to gather to "prove" you didn't deserve it. You have to ask yourself what this society values and whether you have any of that to offer in exchange for your life. bsky.app/profile/wind...

Nobody deserves this. Even if Alex Pretti or Renee Good were colossal jerks (which it sounds like they weren't) or criminals, they shouldn't have been killed. (All the talk about Good as a mom makes me, a childless widow, uncomfortable. As if that means she mattered more. We all matter. ❤️ )

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

No reason whatsoever to credit DHS's claim that the man they murdered was armed. They have lied about every other interaction they've made public statements about and I do not for a second believe they are above planting a weapon on someone after the fact

I have a moderate solution for ICE

Always a pleasure! 😊😮‍💨

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

If you have a Tesla you should get rid of it immediately.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani (D) elected mayor of New York City - DDHQ projection

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

According to our analysis, YouTube's decision to delete the accounts amounts to the loss of more than 700 videos, many of which documented Israel's alleged war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/y...

Did the thing 🗳️

Let us mourn Dick Cheney for the exact same amount of time he mourned every child, and every innocent civilian killed by his decisions. - And now the weather!

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

For real. Seeing my friends naked? Delicious.

I’m not saying it’s going to be a good day because Dick Cheney died, but it certainly made it better.

get in loser, we're speaking ill of the dead

Dick Cheney lived to see the Republican party totally adopt his entire worldview and philosophy about American military intervention, even after the catastrophe of Iraq completely repudiated it, but couldn't enjoy it because their avatar was too uncouth for his prairie taste.

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

6’0”, size 12 👞 Focus on my cuteness and not the mess in the background 😅

There seems to be a concerted, coordinated effort from the White House and various governmental agencies to join Bluesky en masse prior to the "No Kings" protest and flood the zone. A reminder that the Trump admin is monitoring social media platforms to find excuses to revoke visas:

A reminder that one of the government accounts set up here has directly stated that this is a "great place to research for revoking visas." Do not under any circumstances interact with these people. They, like Trump, are driven by a desire to engage in revenge and violence towards immigrants. Think.

don't follow them don't reply to them don't repost them don't dunk on them don't talk about them especially do not make threats about them or at them and their soft power vanishes

the feds already have a direct feed of everything via the firehose their arrival here is for intimidation or propaganda purposes (ie visa threat made by State Dept account) blocking them all immediately eliminates their ability to make everyone see their weird little videos and flaccid quote dunks

Also, practice protest safety tips DON’T bring milk for tear gas/pepper spray. Bring sterile water or eye rinses. DON’T sit for cops. That will get you brutalized. Protesting is viewed as inherently violent PLAN AN EXIT STRATEGY. Identify escape routes and SAFE places to regroup if things get bad

don’t give the engagement MAGA is looking for. block the propaganda accounts of the regime. bsky mass blocks can be misleading because you gotta “subscribe” to the list to block them. this may sound odd but the only way for bsky to be success as a project is for people to believe it doesn’t matter.

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have To say Don’t bait them. pay them DUST. Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target . In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

My friend is crowdfunding her surgery recovery Thank you for this thread and may everyone reading this have a great day

Wait. WAIT. People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat? Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

if you get sprayed (OC or teargas or pepperballs) johnson and johnson no more tears is your friend. wash your face/hair out over the tub do not let the water roll down your body.

Cuddles would be greatly appreciated rn

Rest in Power Mama! Thank you for all that you’ve done for LGBTQ folks & for showing young Trans people like me that it’s possible to live a long, happy life full of love & community as we age. 🏳️‍⚧️🕊️❤️

Read this. When Nazis say “remigrate”, they mean “we will mass deport ethnic groups.” For a brief history of the Nazi cycle of “‘encourage’ people to leave voluntarily” ➡️ “force people to leave” ➡️ “force people into ghettos & camps” ➡️ “mass murder people”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrat...

The homes Israeli hostages return to VS the homes Gazans return to The is no going back to “normal” for them. They are now living in a rubble ridden hellscape while the western world moves on, pretending it didn’t fund and approve this.

9/11 is a great time to remember that the imperial power will seize on any opportunity to do what it was going to do anyway, especially if it gets to do it under the gaudy pagentry of being the Aggrieved

Sympathizing with a Nazi makes you a Nazi sympathizer, and the curious thing about being a Nazi sympathizer is that it means you can’t really be recognized for your boundless capacity for empathy, because the thing you’re grieving is a mouthpiece for violent white supremacy. What are we doing?

Imagine scolding people laughing at the 'it's good to die from gun violence because it gives us unfettered access to guns' guy getting got by a gun under a sign that says prove me wrong like I'm sorry grow up

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."
