You can win TWO of these, while supporting a Palestinian mother and friend, @fidaaumar.bsky.social who desperately needs our support Only $5, among many, will make a difference to their survival The numbers are still too low, please amplify, and if you have $5, go chip in! @mommunism.bsky.social

Maybe what we need isn't a ceasefire. We need a global strike. We need working class people everywhere to show some solidarity and stand with working class people who are being mass murdered in Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, etc. We need a global strike now! Cripple the capitalist ruling class.

There's still folks in western countries calling for a "ceasefire" in Palestine. Well, guess what, THERE IS a ceasefire RIGHT NOW, and the GENOCIDAL white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate of israel is still murdering, raping, starving, and kidnapping Palestinians. So what good is a ceasefire?

I'm so tired of "We had no choice but to vote Liberal". 1. Carney is Harper 2.0 and is only a "centrist" because repeatedly voting lesser evil has moved everything so far to the right. 2. "Everyone must vote Liberal" handed at least 8 seats to the Cons at the expense of NDP or Green incumbents.

Britt is crowdfunding their very survival & is forced to choose between eating & shelter. All this while chronically ill with a very serious life-limiting disease. It isn’t fair. Britt, who is too ill to work, works harder than anyone to survive Nobody would choose this Pls help

Please help Rana and her family! #MutualAid #HelpSky

Canadians: Jenny Kwan is submitting a bill to end the loopholes allowing Canada to continue arming Israel m’s genocide in Gaza. At the below link is a form you can fill out to put pressure on your MP to support this bill. I urge you all to fill it out— it took me 2 minutes.

Very, very worried about Rana.

‼️‼️Nov 7 Fathi update: Nothing from Fathi yet today but this canister of gas is an URGENT MEDICAL NEED & the campaign has stalled 3 days Fathi’s mom almost died, we need to resolve this goal $178/$650 10kg cooking gas 🔁💸 - Nicola gofund.me/4f9407199 @mommunism.bsky.social #SaveFathi

‼️‼️Nov 7 Rana update: I haven’t heard from Rana for a full week now, this is the longest I’ve ever gone without hearing from her 😢 I’m hearing there is heavy shelling today but idk where. Unless smth changed Rana is v close to the yellow area gofund.me/046b328a0 @mommunism.bsky.social #SaveRana

It's not "unfortunate but necessary," it's counterproductive to their stated goals *and* cruel to people living through over 2 years of genocide.

Once again, if bluesky actually wanted to stop real scams they would allow people to verify their fundraiser. Instead we are left with people who desperately need help and so will keep making accounts, but now they can more easily be impersonated since you are used to familiar faces on new accounts.

Whole thread 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Last night Althia Raj pointed out that Carney budgeted for projects in the ridings of, for example, NDP MPs, likely in an effort to make it harder for them to vote no and then go home to their constituents.

On the fence about whether to share bc it’s a ⚪️ guy but he talks about Tibetan dark retreat where ⏰, space & self dissolve He talks about spiritual bypassing & how western New Age is addicted to light—people who see this are often worth listening to Treat as a gateway to truer sources #OccultSky

Zionism was invented after the flush toilet.

Britt is chipping away at a goal of approx $2k to pay for shelter & necessary bills. They are too chronically ill to work, though they are still always trying to find a job. Just imagine this hellish existence

Please help Rana and her family! #MutualAid #HelpSky

#AllAboutLove by bell hooks (1999) Would be required reading for ALL if she had written it 25 years later. So much profound wisdom cloaked in the heteronormativity of the time. Priceless read if taken in context & an invitation to explore further via queer authors. #HaecReads2025 #Booksky #Books

Incidentally a great way to avoid this is to not choose rituals yourself. Let your guides tell you when you need a ritual & what that ritual will be. I’m not big into rituals these days but when I do them it’s because they were assigned to me

You can’t separate the extremist from the extreme context they’re surviving in You have to ask the right questions: Who has the power to create or resolve that context? Why is some violence considered civilized while other violence is considered extremism?

Why are those people like this

‼️‼️Nov 6 Fathi update: Fathi’s mom is still doing rehab for her lung issues They are still forced to cook with firewood despite the danger bc they can’t afford cooking gas or any food other than rice $178/$650 10kg cooking gas 🔁💸 - Nicola gofund.me/4f9407199 @mommunism.bsky.social #SaveFathi

Friends, We have extended our deadline and doubled the reward! Fidaa's needs are very real, and very overwhelming, so we're giving it another try. Keep sharing, here, on Instagram, offline ✨ @mommunism.bsky.social

Hot take: It’s not “New Age” if the wisdom is thousands of years old & threads through cultures all over the globe

Never stop learning about the world around you Full doc available on lookmovie2 if you can’t find it on a streaming service in your area

When you call Mamdani a socialist, please remember:

They've got millions to donate to political campaigns but ZERO to actually help people who need help. Speaks volumes.

#MySisterTheSerialKiller by Oyinkan Braithwaite (2018) Darkly funny in places (🍦) & just plain uncomfortable in others. My hopes were high bc of the compelling premise but you can only get so much depth out of a big story in novella format. #HaecReads2025 #Booksky #Books

When is the Government (and journalists) going to realise that at least part of the increase in people on long term sick is due to Long Covid. There are things that can be done to prevent yet more people becoming too ill to work by putting Covid protections in place.

‼️‼️Nov 5 Rana update: Still nothing 😭 I realized yesterday that it’s probably lack of internet since messages aren’t delivered but it could so be that her cousin’s phone is nonfunctional She is in hiding very close to the yellow area 😭 gofund.me/046b328a0 @mommunism.bsky.social #SaveRana

it's due to covid, and it's the big elephant in the room no one in power, much less society itself, wants to address. It's REALLY bad!

I want to be clear. My politics are ultimately about the well-being of everybody. I want a world where people are looked after and have their needs met, one where no one is excluded. If that makes me a dreamer, so be it, but I come from a place where my people weren't and aren't cared about so this-

As you know, things are very difficult right now, and Fidaa’s needs are overwhelming, so it’s worth giving this raffle one more try. For this reason, we decided to try for another week from now, to give it one last push and give our sister and her children a reason to smile. bit.ly/save-fidaa

Bluesky is getting more hostile by the day, but Instagram is an alternative that we will be using to amplify Fidaa’s campaign. We also have a flyer now that we hope will make it easier to share. Finally, as a thank you for your understanding, and to make things exciting, we have doubled the price!

In this doc from 2003, kids pick up pieces of flesh belonging their exploded relatives so they can bury them. The attempt to “both sides” the conflict but the footage doesn’t lie It opens by talking about how 🇮🇱 murdered one of the 2 journalists behind the doc This didn’t start on Oct 7

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

“The number of sick and disabled people out of work is putting the UK at risk of an "economic inactivity crisis" that threatens the country's prosperity, according to a new report. There were 800,000 more people out of work now than in 2019 due to health conditions..” #LongCovid #ChronicIllness

The common thread between neoliberalism and despair is the refrain that nothing better is possible, that we cannot do better, that the status quo is all that can ever be achieved. And I will never, ever accept that.

Here on 🦋 there is an opportunity to step outside your 🫧 There is an opportunity to engage w ppl being harmed by the status quo—🖤🤎🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♿️🇵🇸 & ESPECIALLY people seeking mutual aid. If you bloat your feed w follow farming you’ll never see beyond your middle class bubble You don’t have to 💸 just SEE them

$5, lets go!

Important Raffle Update ❤️ Thank you so much to all of you who have shared and participated. Sadly, I can't bring good news yet! We can't call a winner. We didn't even meet a 10% of our original goal of $1k, meant to help pay her rent, medical expenses, and water. So we're extending our deadline! 🧵

You don’t have to mourn war criminals. You don’t have to issue condolences to their families. You don’t have to launder their legacies. Save your grief for the innocents they killed, maimed or tortured without ever seeing justice served to their executioners.

What is it with those of you who don't ever share anybody's crowdfunding requests? Serious question.

They Called Me Number One by Bev Sellars (2013) Sellars shares much more than traumas experienced at the Williams Lake residential school. I listened w horror as Sellars & other Indigenous friends & family faced racism down to the very micro level of their existence. #HaecReads2025 #BookSky #Books

Now at $152 🥹 thank you, just under $500 to go to get Fathi’s family the gas canister they need to protect their lungs
