"A British-Palestinian surgeon who treated patients at Gaza hospitals estimates that between 700 to 900 children have had limbs amputated since the war broke out."

'nice, polite' libs are consistently telling my leftist american friends who are angry at biden to 'enjoy the death camps' and I can't be the only one who reads that as both threatening and as if the writer has their hand in their pants imagine queers in death camps

This X refugee is so grateful for the Bsky welcome 💙🌊

I still need 42 sign-ups if I'm going to make rent this month. You get literally 1000s of posts, over 500 recipes for £5 and more added every day. Please just give it a try. You improve my life massively and can cancel anytime.

Sry I haven’t been on for a few days. Barbara passed on Monday in hospice and it’s been a tough couple days. Her GFM is no longer accepting donations, but I want to thank everyone who donated. She hadn’t raised enough funds to pay for home hospice, but your donations went toward a private aid 1/?

Wow voters dont want to be involved in killing thousands and thousands of people for no fucking reason SHOCKER

Hi. I’m way over 60 and Jewish and my Dem Rep is younger than me and I call him every day to remind him I voted for him as long as he’s been in office and I support a ceasefire. PS the average age of Republican reps is 57.

Direct quote from Israeli Defense Minister:"The Americans insisted and we are not in a place where we can refuse them. We rely on them for planes and military equipment. What are we supposed to do? Tell them no?” Quote is from www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Neither of my Michigan senators have sent any responses and I've emailed them almost daily for a month now. My rep sent one response at the beginning blaming it on Egypt and then nothing since.

My Representative and Senators are completely ignoring me, and are losing my vote. Usually I get a form letter that doesn't address why I wrote; on this subject, silence.

Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard. “I’ve never seen such a disconnect between where voters and constituents are and where Congress is"

Like, what are these “resister” accounts even resisting if they support politicians who are participating in genocide 🤦🏼‍♀️ #Resist

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

Biden and the Democrat electeds refuse to do what 80% of their voters want, yet we are supposed to believe that Democrats are the party that wants to save democracy? #VoteBlue

The new House Speaker abruptly pulled a second crucial spending bill today because he found at the last minute that he couldn't get enough of his own Republicans to pass it. A government shutdown looms in just eight (8) days. And this is the garbage they are spending their time on:

I keep hearing about how Dems support democracy, if that’s so then you’d think they’d do what 80% of Dem voters want them to do #CeasefireNow #VoteBlue

@CBSNews: The Vatican announced Wednesday that transgender people can be baptized and become godparents under certain conditions — but in several cases, said vaguely that it would leave decisions up to what it termed "pastoral prudence." https://t.co/14krlCv7VH

In honor of Joe Manchin retiring, let’s remember the fact that he single-handedly ended the Child Tax Credit, one of the most effective anti-poverty pieces of legislation in recent history, because he thought parents would use that money for drugs. www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-ma...

Democrats hiring a strategist for $750,000 a week to write “atrocities = unpopular” on a large board while they stare at it with furrowed brows

If Biden believes in democracy then why won’t he do what 80% of Dem voters want him to do? #CeasefireNow

Laura Ingraham says Democrats' platform is pot, porn and Planned Parenthood, and I think we've got a winning slogan for 2024

Family is trying to get Barbara home this week Monday or Tuesday, it’s looking like she doesn’t have much time left 😢

Protesters calling for a cease-fire overrun Grand Central Terminal. There were about 300 arrests. (That's a very large number, btw.)

Jewish Voice for Peace (@jvpny) says the sit-in was the largest act of civil disobedience in New York City in nearly two decades.

Standing with our Jewish brothers & sisters who are screaming NOT IN OUR NAME! Last night, thousands of Jewish New Yorkers & their allies held a massive civil disobedience sit-in at Grand Central Station demanding an immediate ceasefire. #LetGazaLive #CeaseFireNow

We have gone through the looking glass and back again and again, and now the mayor of New York City is using his massive private army to arrest Jews and put them on busses.

"The boy’s death has sparked outrage among neighborhood parents who say they have been pressing the city to make basic traffic safety upgrades to no avail."

Jeff Sharlet has spent two decades covering the intersection of extreme Christian nationalism and the far-right. In his new book, Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, he gives snapshots of a country rapidly devolving into a Christian fascism state.

NetBlocks, a cybersecurity monitoring group, said it had observed the largest single internet disruption in Gaza since hostilities began, amounting to a “total or near total blackout of internet service.”

Christian supremacy “is at the heart of Speaker Mike Johnson’s understanding […] of our government," said historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez. A Q&A with the historian on Johnson’s roots in the Christian right and the anti-democratic turn she has watched this faction take ⬇️

What fresh hell is this?

this is absolutely remarkable, organized by @jvp.bsky.social they shut down NYC's Grand Central Station demanding #CeasefireNOW

I’m at the Grand Central protest since I was close by and didn’t see much mainstream press. Grand Central is closed down, hundreds inside and outside the building, can’t get inside. This site needs video.

Thousands of people have taken over Grand Central Station in NYC to demand #CeasefireNow. If you'd like to follow the video, check Twitter or Instagram. @scootercaster.bsky.social's Twitter feed has the latest video. twitter.com/clancynewyor...

Grand Central Station in NYC currently has a sit in, by Jews, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. On this glimmer of humanity by a huge number of people, its time to depart for the night

There’s other IT & tech cos that are US based encouraging all staff to post support of Israel while simultaneously monitoring their social media. This w many other things are why historians are starting to think we’re entering a next McCarthy era.

This is huge. In tech I've tried for the better part of three years to discourage people from using wix because the org is Israeli. The head of marketing tried to have a now friend fired for talking about Palestinians. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2023...
