Israel is bombing Gaza again, across the whole length of the strip. The ceasefire is over. You might not hear about it on Bluesky because @moderation.bsky.app has suppressed many of the Palestinian voices.

This published, and then Trump kidnapped a fellow head of state in a foreign sovereign nation. I blame @jeetheer.bsky.social

Announcing the Tech for Palestine Summit on January 24th in the Bay Area, the largest event at the intersection of tech and pro-Palestine advocacy. We will gather pro-Palestine entrepreneurs, investors, tech workers and activists, for a full-day of amazing content! summit.techforpalestine.org

being consistently most vitriolic loud angry person on social media is not a credit to your leftist credentials it just makes people not want to organize with you the most radical leftists i have the privilege to call comrades are some of the kindest people. knowing who to be angry at is important

I miss when there used to be journalists.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

"Colombian President Petro posted a list on social media of locations bombed. One is the Cuartel de la Montaña in Caracas, a military base that houses the mausoleum of Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chávez." archive.is/UEvB7#select... The US bombed Chavez's grave? Why, was there cocaine in there?

Canada should pull out of the Olympics, and the World Cup.

Drugs are the primary boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention in Latin America. When academics and activists like myself talk about legalizing drugs, it's not only to keep drug users safe from the toxic supply (which is reason enough), it's about geopolitical stability. It affects YOU

by not punishing trump for invading and bombing venezuela, it would now be legal to invade whatever country you want and capture it’s leader? i assume that can be done to the united states too?

When the International community lets the U.S. get away with funding the Israeli occupation, they should not be surprised that a leader like Trump wants to bring the concept into their own hemisphere.

If Trump will bomb Venezuela for its oil, what do you think he plans to do to Canada?

We're in the closing days of our very first @techdirt.com challenge coin fundraising campaign. If you want the coin, you have just a few days left...

In a Murdoch paper no less www.thenation.com/article/poli...

When Grok takes the blame for generating CSAM while Musk and X refuse to do so, Grok is still very much “acting” as a man-made artifact doing something it was imbued by a human with the capacity to do

Yes, Twitter and Musk themselves aren’t even attempting to apologize for “Grok creating CSAM” - but this too is an example of allowing a machine to take blame! Who CREATED the machine that’s apologizing for its actions in a fashion that shifts blame to itself and not to its actual human creators?

Immigration is good.

I saw a thing the other day that said a (dark) way to prove you have power over someone is to make them suffer. It has stuck in my thoughts ever since.

I think it's really worth noting that literally ZERO mainstream media outlets were talking about Trump claiming a land strike on Venezuela until a few others and I noticed this post here on Sunday and started asking questions. That goes completely unacknowledged in coverage.

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

The UK vulture press is digging-up old tweets ("There should be no equal relations with Israel or any other relations. Israel must come to an end") out of context, trying to paint a human rights activist as unworthy of his British citizenship. Maybe: read his book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Hav...

Am good at customer service for public utilities.

rancid queer discourse here largely died because queer people block each other liberally and now none of us see any queer people we hate or have beef with unless they’re new and then only once. meanwhile no one blocks straight people enough and thats why you’re all on your 77th stancil discourse.

Pro-Palestinian hacktivist group Keymous Plus, generally aligned with Russian groups, is siding with Thailand against Cambodia. They are one of the few groups in the Russian orbit I have seen to pick Thailand in this conflict. Some researchers suspect Keymous are based in Algeria.

Ok, adding this to my bio.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Kind of want to see the rest of the Bannon phone Cellebrite...

He sent this, from a prison to a prison, knowing it would get photographed and put on the record at each end. A few days later, he was dead.

They didn't do the redactions right, and a bunch of financial information and immigration fraud detail is viewable on the Epstein files if you just highlight the black bars, and copy and paste into a new doc.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

Canada still at risk of getting invaded.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The executive producer of “60 Minutes” said she “ultimately had to comply” with CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and pull a segment on the Trump administration’s deportations, according to a partial transcript of the meeting obtained by The Post.

"Intimate partner violence for transgender people is at a staggeringly high rate compared to cisgender people–meaning we must take special care to protect ourselves." www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

A free press cannot function if the government is able to exercise veto power over critical reporting simply by refusing to engage. The public has the right to question how CBS will ensure the independence and integrity of its journalism going forward.

anarchism is about consent of all involved, giving everyone a voice for their own freedom. its unreasonable to ask how every single system would work, because no proponent of capitalism even has that answer! rather, we have a process and principles to get towards a just solution.

friendly reminder that henry david thoreau, one of the great writers of american canon who helped inspire ppl like MLK, would be called an anarchist if he espoused his beliefs today. give civil disobedience a read. if you vibe with it, congrats - ur an anarchist

her questions are those of a child.

Olive grove by olive grove, sheep pasture by sheep pasture, village by village — over the past two years, Israeli settlers, often with Israeli military support, have escalated their unrelenting campaign to seize land and erase its Palestinian presence. Paywall free: nytimes.com/interactive/...

Good news from Gaza: Mohammed Abu Matar managed to get a 3D printer back up and running, and he has resumed the work he was doing before the war, of printing medical devices to supply local paramedics and hospitals. See photo: chuffed.org/project/1163... Donations are (always, still) appreciated.

If you are such a person, please call a lawyer first though. Don’t do this on your own.

New Wikileaks publication: file.wikileaks.org/files/2025/m... (they filed a criminal complaint against the Nobel Peace Prize committee)

Thank you to everyone who has shared this. The hearing is over for today. DHS has filed a motion to pretermit (end Guan's asylum application in the US) and have him sent to Uganda - where he'd be at risk of being sent to China. The hearing to decide that will be held 12 January.

Yes.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org
