I will forever say, there are times that call for high risk activities. But there are NEVER times that call for doing high risk activities with The New Guy, especially if The New Guy proposes them.

I definitely think about it every time Trump drops bombs on a Venezuelan ship. He called it

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

There is a reason the two leading parties of Palestine today are: 1) Fatah, which has completely disarmed and surrendered any real sovereignty and have been 'rewarded' with increasing settlements, checkpoints, bombed refugee camps, etc. 2) Hamas (which, lest we forget, was funded by Netanyahu)

This is a GENOCIDE

If you think ICE raids are impossible here, it may be time to think again… Bill C-2 is about to import militarized control, racial profiling & mass surveillance right out of Trump’s playbook and into our backyard. #StopBillC2 #RejectMapleMAGA #DontTrumpCanada #Cdnpoli

This is excellent.

Sharing this again because it's a good guide for finding useful tech tools, but it's becoming more important to cut ties from US tech

Sobbing at these Italians being happy to be stuck in traffic during a strike for Palestine

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

A therapy or intervention with an 80% success rate would be considered a medical miracle in pretty much any other field, but when it comes to expressing one's gender identity apparently it's an unacceptable low. For, uh, reasons.

I just want to remind people that over 200,000 real lives were murdered in the Guatemalan genocide. Most of them were indigenous Guatemalans, like my dad's cousins, who are also victims.

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

The Telegraph released that article yesterday. Today, the NYT revealed that in 2019 the Trump admin launched a covert SEAL Team 6 mission into the DPRK to plant listening devices. The mission failed and they killed 6 civilians in cold blood to cover their tracks. North Korea isn‘t the bad guy.

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism. fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you. the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.

I hope people never forget that the Afghan people once chose Socialism, and aligned themselves with the Soviet Union, and that angered and scared the US so much that they and their CIA, armed, trained, and motivated Islamist militant groups called the Mujahideen to destabilise Afghanistan.

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

My hill: kids are naturally creative and artistic. You give kids paper and something to draw with and you will get the wildest shit ever created. It's an actual tragedy & horrifically anti-human to be shoving AI on them and encouraging them to stunt that essential part of themselves.

“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly, yet it is not; it is this world, and what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras.”

why the fuck do i not see every labor union in the country SCREAMING about Christian Smalls right now?? He’s been kidnapped by Israel for 2 days now, what the hell are you waiting for???

What has been happening in Gaza has always been genocide and it’s good more people are coming around to that brutal reality but it also needs to be noted that those who have spending the last two and half years attacking anyone correctly calling it a genocide can never be trusted again.

i remember hearing when i was younger how much all these western leaders totally regretted not trying to intervene to stop the genocide in rwanda. yet once again, they let a genocide happen in front of their eyes because it isn’t politically convenient to defend innocent life and international law.

A lot of people need to hear this

one thing that's worth remembering with the water situation is that full privatisation is actually very recent, as in most of our lifetimes recent, and it's been a complete fucking unmitigated disaster. The idea that it can't be reversed or this is just 'How It Is' is total bullshit

One more thing: I think it's really silly to be engaging in pseudo-realpolitik posturing about voting strategy in a general election that's two and a half years away while ignoring the effect that rhetoric rejecting lesser-evilism can have in shaping what that election winds up looking like.

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

one of the most effective and highly bought corporate propaganda campaigns ever was convincing individual people that turning off the lights and recycling were the solutions to climate change and not dismantling corporate polluters brick by brick and demanding policy and regulation

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

Suburban brain. Terminal. No treatment recommended

Needed this reminder today.

I appreciate that Greta Thunberg showed up for Budapest Pride. I would dearly love everyone to make the connections between different pillars of global fascism: homophonic authoritarianism, environmental catastrophe, colonialist genocide...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

As a Britisher who lived every day of the Corbyn experience, I wholeheartedly endorse this. Fight every step, concede nothing.

They will call you a communist anyway! We must work on educating people on what that means and removing their ability to use it as a slur

Watch out, America.

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

Your regular reminder that the feds are reading your Bluesky account too.

It looks like they deleted the skeet about the HIV vaccine breakthrough? That seems bad

In 2025 alone, Israel has bombed: - Gaza - Syria - Lebanon - Yemen - The aid boat “Conscience” in international waters near Malta - Iran

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

An important reminder.

Banning searching for a dead body with your friends because of disestablishmentarianism is literally Tatarophobia
