The U.S. has surpassed 2000 documented measles cases this year, the highest in more than 30 years. This is driven by rampant disinformation about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including in his capacity as a government official. We will lose our elimination status shortly.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain etc.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Celebrating billionaires while people crowdfund for basics.

When Jay said that the people calling him a capitalist were reinventing words for nigger I knew they were fully aware of what they are doing. You don't get a billion by not knowing but you certainly don't compare capitalist to nigger as a Black man w/o buying in.

Not just the rich and that's also something to sit with.

Great story on one of my friends' doctoral students!

This is MTG'w bill. She personally authored. It's happening now, not in the past. Spare me her redemption arc.

"Canadians are so kind"

I think this video also explains why people who identify as centrists or liberal who nevertheless support the banning of Palestinians on this platform often have authoritarian tendencies as they exhibit low levels of self awareness, and high levels of hypocrisy.

help ahmed!

Urgent appeal🥶😭 We are pleading for your help. I have a heart valve prolapse and can't bear it. Our tent is destroyed, and we are homeless, without a tent, and slowly freezing to death. We urgently need $150 to buy a tent. Please help us Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

The Democrats are more interested in racist, billionaires than they are fixing or rebuilding any kind of democracy for the population at large. The Democrats will continue Trump‘s policies just as Biden did, all while claiming anyone pointing it out is a foreign asset or a domestic threat

Protests erupted in Borama after Israel recognized Somaliland. Demonstrators rejected normalization and called for Somalia’s unity. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud condemned the move as a violation of sovereignty.

Ghalya is just a year older than my daughter (who turns 14 soon), I can’t imagine her having all this responsibility

This is slavery.

Ok all sarcasm aside, what these white supremacists are really talking about is when they are asked to apologize for doing racist things. Which happens. Because racism is something to apologize for. What they are saying is that no one should have to apologize for racist actions or statements.

If you ask someone when they were forced to apologize for being white, they will absolutely name a time when they were asked to apologize for doing something racist and they conflated doing racism with being white because they have a vague understanding of the power dynamics of white supremacy

I like the essay, but I just tend to disagree with “representation could be better” pop culture critique pieces where the thesis doesn’t admit that it believes better representation is predicated on how much culturally specific grievance is depicted, generally.

Between the pedo president and an economy built entirely atop the teen-suicide robot we're really being shown how structurally central oppression of children is to the whole system

Since yesterday, we can’t stay in our tent anymore. It’s flooded with rain, soaked with water, and freezing cold. Children are shivering with no warmth. Odai, injured by a quadcopter, urgently needs treatment and a warm shelter. Please help us find safety and warmth. 💔🙏 gofund.me/77a751af7

Urgent appeal 🚨 The stormy rains destroyed our tent and left us stranded in the sand. We are completely submerged. We have no tent. We are freezing 🥶 We urgently need your help. We only need $150 to buy a tent My kids will suffer sick Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

‘Hope isn’t a plan.’ Yeah? Neither is ‘this is really hard so let’s not even try.’

This was my son during the famine. Today,he breathes health because of your mercy.He is a living miracle,but the struggle for children continues.Your kindness gave him a future,please,keep helping us heal and rebuild.Don't let the hope fade Verifed: @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/5f2429cda

since just asking for dms didn't work out as i expected, i'll just say it here: i'm gifting a 3-months Sponsor deck.blue membership for artists on bluesky! just reach me out on the dms to get it and be able to schedule posts! requirements: 1k+ followers, don't use ai and keep posting real art!

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

I didn't bother reading it (thank you for doing the unpleasant work, Kate!) but what bothers me most about this, I think, is the smug implication by the 'writer' that her time is so much more important than the reader's. "I use AI because I have better things to do than write for you!"

Glanced at the length of this...piece... and uh, absolutely not lol

If you're wondering whether the "open letter about AI" on file 770 is worth reading and engaging, it is not. The whole thing is rhetorical mush so it was no surprise when I got to the end and she admitted "her" letter was itself written by AI. Useless bait.
