theshot.net.au/uncategorize... Thank you @davemilbo.bsky.social for saying the awful truth that “Australian weapons components become weapons that turn Palestinian children into the components of Palestinian children” #auspol #Palestine

LRT the single biggest factor in my not making more use of bluesky is the people whose perspectives i value being repeatedly thrown off this platform. is this really the best we can do? leaving the nazi bar to start a second, live laugh love nazi bar?

We can and should laugh about this but it's also been a pretty standard imperial move after drawing or losing a military showdown for about 3,000 years. Xerxes could call his invasion of Greece in 480-479 BC a success because he burned Athens.

“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

Standing up to genocide and war criminals isn’t tolerated in @albomp.bsky.social’s government. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Say what you want about Albo, but doing SFA about the atrocities in Gaza should never ever be forgiven nor forgotten.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist. Shireen was killed by an Israeli sniper on 11 May 2022 for the crime of exposing the brutality of the Israeli government in the Jenin Refugee Camp.

it’s just wild bc he’s a pedo-sheltering, queer-hating catholic american. as a candidate for pope, he represents an almost suicidal cowardice on the part of the church. but he’s got like, chuck schumer’s political backbone and even that’s too much liberalism for the whinging fucking yanks.

If this is the lesson the greens take from the election then the party is doomed

Diddy’s lawyer carefully studying this use of language in order to argue that Diddy was just raising the profile of sex trafficking

@typewriterprose.bsky.social Please share 🤲🇵🇸 To the free people of the world and all supporters of Gaza and Palestine,donate one euro to me and my family. It will give us more strength and steadfastness in the face of the occupation. #Palestine #Help #Gaza #Donate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-nidal...

the reason why these people believe in “the woke mind virus” and think of others as “NPCs” is because they have literally fried their brains in private group chats with people who share the same half dozen opinions

We joke about Hegseth's signal chats, but the impact of his trite messages is horrific. "as I began to write these lines, funerals were held for 80 people who were killed by a bombardment of the Ras Isa port ... Most of them returned to their families as charred bodies. Some did not return at all."

Rafah no longer exists. Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors. This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/rafa...

The US government going after companies that manufacture HRT is a line that sensible, reasonable people repeatedly assured me Trump wouldn't cross. He crossed it. Ah well, nevertheless,

RFK Jr. likely wants to do what his family did to Rosemary on a national scale. He wants to make it legal/standardized for "parents' rights activists" and quack doctors to torture autistic people with "treatments" and send them to "wellness camps."

rfk’s ‘autism destroys our children’ and elon’s ‘my son is dead’ are two sides of the same coin, if they’re not just the same side twice

stop trying to find alternatives to harry potter that are going to just be a lite version of something you loved because you associated it with a specific time in your life and start finding things that appeal to you in your adulthood. stop trying to replace nostalgia with a stand in

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

It is startling how easily white liberals fall into proposing eugenics stuff without even noticing it. Until you realize that the really vocal eugenicists *need* that broad centrist support. They couldn't do anything without it.

I just don’t understand why Americans keep framing their arguments around the idea that any of this would be acceptable if Abrego Garcia, or anyone else being held hostage by ICE, *were* a “gang member” or a “terrorist”. why are people so willing to cede this ideological ground?

As with most aspects of transmedicalisation, the psychopathologisation of trans suicide as something characteristics of us rather than a product of our difficulties within a hostile social environment serves to mask the function of power and social coercion in killing trans youth.

Victim complex

nightmare country. I’m compelled by conscience to add that prisoners in the us are already treated like this and worse, daily; there’s escalation here but it’s from an already intolerable state of carceral excess.

Look, it's bad for my US American friends, but the global hegemon committing suicide by capitalism will probably be great for the worldwide communist movement, so thanks for your benevolent contribution to the JDPeveryone else

Really and truly, if I could communicate anything about history it's that genuine dumbasses can be key historical agents, and that has pretty massive implications for how we make sense of the past and present both.

i swear to god if we still end up on the hook for those goddamn submarines

"we tried to warn you!" no, you carefully explained why you don't care for marginalized people. you support genocide. effective wages have been declining for 40 years & the savings and purchasing power of each generation has gotten smaller. you lectured us that we were actually doing well. lol

Even when people collectively demoralize each other w/out any insincere or outside actor, that is a form of participatory behavior which has the same result as responding to events or information that was designed w/ the goal of demoralizing you, and can be seen as emergent participatory propaganda

The democrats are never gonna fucking get it. Even after a nonstop 25-hour speech striking directly at everything going on right now and how they need to do better, and they respond by just continuing like it didn't even happen.

“They were killed in their uniforms. Driving their clearly marked vehicles. Wearing their gloves. On their way to save lives” 15 first responders killed in Rafah, U.N. says, as IDF orders mass evacuation www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

during grummz time at blizzard, red 5, and his time when he was supposed to be working on em8er and to 3 days ago, he’s living a second life here are all the details with the archival evidence + more timeline video:

"If art is the establishing or breaking of aesthetic rules, then AI art, as practiced by the right, says that there are no rules but the naked exercise of power by an in-group over an out-group...the only way to enjoy art is in knowing that it's hurting somebody" newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

OH MY GOD FOR FUCKS SAKE now if you’re Brown and have a fucking Autism tattoo they’re gonna nab you %#*%+€£¥@$%

that old tweet about how silicon valley dickheads are continually reinventing the city bus, but it’s greedy Protestants coming up with Catholic indulgences every six months

Absolutely insane take. Recording trans people incorrectly as birth sex instead of actual sex harms trans people. Recording trans people correctly harms no one. These people are sick

Insisting that Palestinian scams are a huge problem shows that you’re disconnected from what Palestinians are facing, and probably racist! These accounts are recreated constantly because Bluesky keeps closing them, not bc they’re scams. I have spoken to many of the people whose campaigns I share.

HOPE THIS ARTWORK TURNS HEADS!! Me & my fam been living a nightmare for 3 days straight—Israhell back at it with the genocide. Bombs ain’t stopped, 500+ gone, and no aid trucks for 20 days. Tomorrow, I gotta risk it and head out for food & basics, so pls chip in ASAP and REPOST!🙏 ko-fi.com/itslayla

we’ve entered the ‘i need to delete my accounts but logging into them feels……. bad’ stage of collapse. like tumblr, but more divorced!

One hell of a report - I particularly like the domestic fossil / extraction emissions - holding steady at around 20% of the country's emissions that is ONE FIFTH of Australia's total domestic emissions purely from digging up and selling fossil fuels (which mostly end up sold elsewhere)

Mahmoud Khalil’s story, told in his own words, from an upcoming film:👇🏼

a six year old girl died in agony from pneumonia on a ventilator and this journalist pathetically tries to make a half-hearted comparison to groups historically neglected and mistreated by the medical system. this isn't that. these people killed their child
