"The United States struck another small boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela, killing six people...It’s the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean" again, merely political consequences for wanton murder aren't enough. apnews.com/article/trum...

Transmasc knight 🏳️‍⚧️🗡️ (Louis Lunachor) #OCsky #DND #trans

a lot of the rich white queers out here who prop up Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P Johnson, etc. constantly treat trans POC activists the exact same way white gay treated the STAR women. don't trust people's words, watch their actions! now is the most important time to have solidarity and be anti-racist.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning. Thank you, Miss Major.

Basically my entire politics. I am interested in your liberalism if it's liberalism that takes liberalism seriously but I can't consider it to be such a thing if there is some racial exemptions made simply for the benefit of your preferred group in MENA. This is what liberalism in the US does.

Happy Indigenous Peoples day, I am indigenous Isneg/Apayao through my mother, who is in need of help. please help me take care of my mama at trying to manage a progressive disease and helping extend her life through mutual aid and the miracle of modern medicine, please 🙇‍♂️

Let me be super fucking clear You cannot support sex worker rights if you don't also support trans people, non white people, immigrants, drug users, disabled people, women, queer/gay people, and poor people and human rights in general

The only people who get to make decisions about a transmasc's chest is the transmasc who has them. NOT their partners. NOT predatory TERFs. NOT their family. AND (this one is important! ;3) NOT other transmascs who call transmascs who like and keep their chests "fetish fuel" on the Internet! 🧡

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives. www.gameworkers.co.uk/barb-open-le...

I feel like the thing I always find myself thinking when ppl are talking about "oh the gaming audience is awful" is that, like... i'm not sure i believe that so much as I believe that any unmoderated space will inevitably surface the most toxic people (who drive away more-reasonable ones)

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

Please drop 50 im so close let my family survive bsky.app/profile/itsm...

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

One of the most nefarious actions that actually takes place on a regular basis is that laws & rules meant to protect those historically violated by our status quo and the individuals upholding it are weaponized against us. It's also why I think Ethics should be required continuing ed for lawyers.

I had fun drawing him

Vancouver’s film and TV industry is facing one of its ‘toughest slowdowns’ ever. Animators and visual effects workers are unionizing to take back control: “It’s time to level the playing field for the workers ... so they can have more of a say, more control and a democratization of their workplace”

it’s challenging being a Black-owned newsroom during this time of anti-DEI and political attacks, but we persevere. that’s what our ancestors did. if you can, consider making a contribution — big or small — to fuel our reporting on Chicago. if you know a $$$ person in your life, spread the word.

Greta Thunberg is braver than most of us, and I’ll never entertain any other opinion of her.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Hiya all, We need some help covering a car repair and buying some medications. Thankfully we shouldn't need a huge amount this time, but anything makes a positive difference. Thank you all so much! gofund.me/a0978348

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”

Russian libertarians love making things up that allow them to come to Putinist conclusions by the back door

Translated: Israel attacks Sumud flotilla, kidnapping civilians from 26 countries. Protests in Berlin, Istanbul, Barcelona, ​​Rome, Brussels, Athens. The people are fighting back, complicit states must be called out! #JusticeForPalestine #gaza #sumud #flotilla #isral #viral #palestine #sumudforgaza

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

Kind of a microcosm of how a certain subset of right wingers see debate and discourse: not as a way to find the truth or to persuade others, but as a performance of power and domination

Humanity if everybody understood that having a tragic backstory is not mutually exclusive with being pure evil

Hey folks, there's a Steam Sale on right now, who would like a good old Casey recommendation thread? Well, gather round everyone, I'll make some choice picks that I really love and I hope you'll love too. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

This language is not vague. It is a call for the party of government to forcibly prevent trade unions from abiding by the position unanimously voted for by their delegates. For Women Scotland and their allies are enemies not just of trans rights, but of the entire trade union movement.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

Canadian Conservatives have gone so far off the deep end into American style reactionary politics, that they're unrelentingly heckling a 7th grader making a point about keeping kids healthy with good food. Canada is going down the same hole as America unless we change things.

i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.

Oh absolutely fuck off. Starmer gets zero brownie points for his belated condemnation of Reform’s policy if this is what they plan to do, this is just the same shit with extra foul steps.

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

“These recommendations amount to service cuts, contracting out and major rollbacks to important provisions in our existing collective agreements” - @cupwsttp.bsky.social

So this two-person shop has become a load-bearing element of Chicago's coverage of what's happening with the ICE raids. The least you can do is support em: unraveledpress.com/support-unra...

Zelenskyy, a leader at war, uses the podium to plead not just for Ukraine, but for Syria too. I hope Al-Sharaa doesn’t return the favor with an overdose of pragmatism with Moscow. Russia might no longer murder our children, but it still murders Ukraine’s.

I remember when this website ran off a gay Arab man because he said not so nice things about Tel Aviv. Looking back and it’s obvious that a harsh military response, true liberal interventionism, was entirely warranted. Bizarre. I wonder why this never gets extended in kind.

every time i think i can close the project file for pghrt.diy, invariably i get a message from someone asking a clarifying question based on what seems to be their doctor inventing an entirely new hrt myth whole cloth, prompting much bafflement as i decide where address it. up to 18.1k words now!

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Sonic Rush's soundtrack sampling Malcolm X's "Message to the Grassroots" for its final boss against the Egg Salamander is one of those things that just plain doesn't even sound real. And yet.
