As someone who’s been a vocal supporter of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, his reported decision to keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner is a big mistake that seems like a reasonable compromise. The NYPD will understand it as weakness, not good will. Tisch cooperated with ICE to lock up Leqaa Kordia

My friend Eslam has had her account removed by bluesky moderation. This is not the first time. I want to tell you what she said happened to her, but first, i’d like you to see Eslam’s campaign, since she is apparently not allowed here to share it herself. bit.ly/artist-eslam (1/?)

How many times must I beg just to be heard? I lost 4,100 friends when my account was taken. I miss my community deeply. Should I keep rebuilding my life every 3 days? I just want my home back. My voice matters. Please keep emailing — I won’t stop fighting for it 💔 Even silence won’t break me.

Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

We need $1600 by Oct 28 to help keep a recently housed neighbors power on. This will allow him to start a payment plan he can manage through SSI payments. Cashap: $RemoraHouseDC GB: givebutter.com/remorahouse Thank you all!! Love & solidarity!

My name is Sakher, and this is my new account — after my old one was suddenly taken down. For the past 4 days, I’ve been silent… not because I wanted to, but because I lost my only voice — the place where I used to speak to the world. More talk in the comments…. GFM : gofund.me/f116bf44

If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Gavin Newsom pulling a classic and supporting the surveillance state with this veto. Particularly delicious given his promise to be an abortion 'safe haven' since this tech is absolutely used to surveil people seeking abortion care.

"A.I." is the tool of and the prevailing aesthetic of fascists leading to a world devoid of meaning or art.

This is what @govpritzker.illinois.gov is protecting

WHY DID @govpritzker.illinois.gov SEND STATE POLICE TO PROTECT ICE?

State police assisted ICE in the performative brutalization and arrest of protesters today. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must answer for this.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

It's true, harassing genocide survivors by repeatedly deleting their accounts, suspending them, and marking them as spam doesn't change their minds about coming back to this site to try and raise money to keep their children alive. It does cause an extraordinary amount of suffering, though.

This WILL NOT mitigate any problems, and the state should not be pulling this shit. @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you've talked a big game about opposing Trump, and now the state is pulling this? "Free speech zones" exist to make protesters irrelevant. Everyone knows this.

For fuck sake @bsky.app get on the right side of genocide you evil cunts. How do you continue to delete the accounts of people begging to feed their children and still sleep at night?

Regular reminder that behind damn near every large-scale "Automated" "AI" system is a team of underpaid and otherwise exploited humans. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

❗️DONATIONS NEEDED❗️ Recently housed neighbor being held in ICE custody in VA. We need $1k to cover his bond & bring him home. C*shApp: $RemoraHouseDC or givebutter.com/remorahouse Love & solidarity 🖤🖤

A grandma getting medical supplies she needs should not be dependent on if I remember to share during the best hours or accidentally fall asleep on the couch… if you can help Etaf please do

People have named whiteness & class solidarity as explanations for the selective outrage of some over Kimmel's targeting, vs. worse targeting of e.g. Ozturk, Khalil, Mario Guevara, etc. Yes, that's part of it. But I haven't seen people discuss the role of criminalization itself.

BREAKING: On the last Saturday that Ismael Ayala-Uribe was seen by his mother, she described him as having pale skin and bloodshot eyes. He told her, “Ya no puedo más, amá” (I can’t anymore, Mom). lataco.com/death-confir... By @eltragon.bsky.social , Aisha Wallace-Palomares, & Izzy Ramirez

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

Bluesky @bsky.app still on the side of genocide. Remember it

Gavin: I hate homeless people! Far right dude: I hate homeless people more! Gavin: See how I’m better than that guy?

If you want to try to help fund some more trips out of Gaza City for vulnerable families ❤️

A lot of people ask me how I stay level headed with everything that’s happening like I didn’t grow up when Bush stole an election, failed to stop 9/11, launched two bullshit wars and Homeland Security, got caught doing straight up torture, and Katrina where Black people were abandoned & then hunted.

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIMS OF CRIME THAN THE PERPETRATORS People are so bothered by someone drinking a beer in a park or trying to sleep on a sidewalk they froth at the mouth screaming about how they are a danger to society. And this is what fucking happens.

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

The only difference between people using drugs outside because they don’t have homes & people using drugs inside because they have homes… is the homes. Everyone uses drugs y’all, the difference is money.

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

The number one rule of civility club is I meant well Number two is I'm a good guy Number three is You're being aggressive Considering the material impact of posting irresponsibly about race, gender, and trans people etc does not make top 5

Some of y'all have yelled at people for saying they won't vote for this guy—a man who wants to honor CHARLIE FUCKING KIRK BY CONTINUING "HIS WORK." Never talk to me about this man again.
