Oh my god

48 athletes including Paul Pogba call for UEFA to suspend Israel because “It is an obligation for sporting bodies to take action against sports teams representing a country which… is committing genocide.” www.athletes4peace.org

“Each day at the track, hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money are paid out to the owners of racehorses, a large percentage of which is government subsidy. Races are run out of contractual obligation, not because there is demand from the public.”

The plan is to begin doing mutual aid threads beginning of December 1 2025. I've created a mutual aid resources document that contains a list of accounts that post mutual aid threads, feeds, and a list of tips and tricks to improving visibility on mutual aid posts. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

You know he’s an idiot, I know he’s an idiot, we all know he’s an idiot We all know everyone knows we all know he’s an idiot. And you all know exactly who I’m talking about. It’s time to break the kayfabe Surely, regardless of our politics, we can all agree it’s not good to have an idiot in power

Update,a kind anonymous donor has stepped forward to cover the balance w/ a few extra dollars. Thank you to everyone who reached out, donated & shared Joannie & her daughter have been grieving & are very touched by everyone’s kindness & generosity Thank you so much💜🙏 @canadianjoannie.bsky.social

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

You know we’re living in the upside down when the president is more concerned about windmills and Tylenol than he is about assault weapons.

The federal government is actively at war against the civilian population of Chicago

this is an all-time post, my god

If you want to help support my coverage of ICE, please subscribe to my newsletter. And maybe if you have a recommendation for a lawyer if I get arrested tonight, that would also be good. They were definitely physically targeting press yesterday.

As agents retreated back to the facility grounds, a protester was knocked to the ground and arrested.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I’m hearing a few things about the potential expulsion of Israel from UEFA: 1. No meeting has been scheduled yet, although many of the FAs are pushing for it. 2. The original push came from one person in one FA. 3. Things have changed because FAs have realigned with new gov’t positions on 🇮🇱

"The universe of the track was fascinating, filled with characters that seemed like they’d stepped out of another time." If you're searching for a weekend #longread, look no further than @nickhunebrown.bsky.social's deep-dive into the world of horse racing. thelocal.to/breakdown-at...

The UN letting Netanyahu speak is a disgrace. A butcher, drenched in Palestinian blood, standing at a podium of “peace.” Every minute he talks is another insult to the dead in Gaza. The world doesn’t need his speeches. The world needs him, and everyone else involved, tried for war crimes.

Rest in power Assata Shakur! ✊🏿

50 cereals. 1,000 sneakers. Dozens of streaming services. Capitalism calls this freedom. But the choices that actually matter, housing, healthcare, work, are rigged. We have been chained by consumerism. My new essay: The Myth of Choice 👇 open.substack.com/pub/simplify...

I have no idea what Dr. Divya used to talk about on social media before the genocide...because I didn't know her before and she has since dedicated her account 100% to fundraising for Gaza. I greatly respect her for that and we should all boost her efforts

Whenever someone goes "he can't do that" or "that's illegal" about trump it just feels like a doctor looking at your test results and going "well that's not right" Like Yeah We know Do something about it

“Who’s going to pay for universal healthcare, affordable housing & social supports? You???” This is always asked as a gotcha. As though the person expects me to recoil and say of course not. The answer is Yes. I would happily pay my fair share to ensure everyone is cared for.

True resistance must be inclusive. It must refuse to leave anyone behind Some people can’t protest They can’t boycott Don’t shame disabled people for what they can’t do Let them participate in their own way Build networks of community care Rest & survival are both resistance. Never forget that

“But at least we had a civil debate,” I say, nodding in a companionable way to the firing squad as they raise their rifles

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

The Canada Council for the Arts "lost" $304 million last year. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council "lost" $1.4 billion last year. Parks Canada "lost" $1.3 billion last year.

So, the NFL’s response to the scandal that the shooter *did* in fact have CTE as he claimed to is to take no responsibility for the fact that its industry is predicated on harm and to once again suggest that the science on CTE “continues to evolve” and “remains under study.”

One VERY important take away is that he had CTE & was symptomatic enough to know he had it & he *only played high school football* Please stop letting your kids play football. The pipeline to sacrificing people's bodies & brains for public spectacle to further enrich rich people needs to be cut off.

“We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces... This is the last thing we wanted.” We have been forced to suspend our activities and leave Gaza City.

IT'S THE SEASON 2 PREMIERE OF BUBBLE POP!!! 🫧✨ My podcast now airs LIVE every Friday on YouTube and Twitch at 12pmET. But don't worry, it'll still be available wherever you like to listen afterwards, too. Today, Evan Balgord of @antihate.ca joined me to talk about far-right extremism in Canada:

Canada's Family Doctors are Giving Up canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/09/26/c... by @drmsgandhi.bsky.social

Did you know far-right extremists are bragging about having guys on the “inside” of the Conservative Party? Of course, they could be full of it. But @antihate.ca has the receipts of the claim — and we play them for you on today’s episode of Bubble Pop:

The government wants to end mail delivery as we know it. Postal workers hope to stop them. Why Canada Post workers are back on strike: pressprogress.ca/why-canada-p...

Fucking disgusting yet utterly unsurprising.

Adding to the growing wave of divestment from both Israel and firms doing business with Israel, AkademikerPension - a big 🇩🇰 pension fund manager - announced that it is “excluding Israeli state assets, including government-controlled companies, from its investment portfolio… due to the war in Gaza.”

Shut up the science denier in your head. There’s enough of them outside of it and they don’t need your help.

Eliminate the phrase “just a bug” from your lexicon. Stop diminishing illness. Colds can kill. The fact that they don’t frequently is lucky for us. We are learning so much more about disease and more and more we are finding you don’t even have to have had a bad case to activate postviral stuff.

Do I think anyone deserves long COVID or death? Of course not. But kids most of all. They rely on adults to keep them safe and we just…won’t.

I had hoped COVID would increase awareness of postviral illness, but instead just about everyone went into denial and now we’re just straight up disabling kids with our insistence that there’s no pandemic in Ba Sing Se.

Oooof an acquaintance just described her kid having COVID, then “three more episodes of fevers but nothing else. Probably just bugs”. No, lady, that’s COVID rebound and if it is still happening after a month that is very likely long COVID. I hate what we’re doing to children.
