Happy 2nd month of christmas to Filipinos everywhere where we celebrate it for 5 months

Critics both to the left and right of the Sumud Flotilla are not allowed to say anything if they aren't doing something substantive themselves. 2 years of genocide and Western complicity and at least these brave souls try to break the evil blockade. They are better than all of us.

god it’s so nice to have a break from thinking about politics for a bit (well, current ones) i’ve also been seeing flotilla shaming discourse on here today & like… what?? mutual aid & means of support are multimodal you fools. flotillas of direct aid, gofundmes, vetted orgs — all helping somehow

There was a Catholic priest from my country who supported Leni Robredo’s 2022 presidential campaign, the antidote to the dictator’s son; I followed him because of this. Turns out he was a Zionist and he came out in support of Charlie Kirk. Unfollowed.

Several “Israeli” politicians deny the existence of a Palestinian state simply because there is no “p” in Arabic. They’ve also mispronounced “Hamas” to shift their blame. That’s outrageous, as it also implies Japan does not exist because the Japanese language has no “l” sound.

TV ads for Biogesic (a brand name for paracetamol in my country) have pregnant women on them to prove that it is safe. Sorry, tRump.

This is not my usual content but I do want oomfs to know about this There were protests today in the Philippines against corruption. 1 TRILLION pesos that were supposed to be for flood control, went to the pockets of the corrupt. People are angry and want justice. #TrillionPesoMarch #BahaSaLuneta

500 onlyyyy lets do it

It also said that Duterte's release would "provide him with greater access to his associates and family who are actively attempting to interfere with the proceedings against him, including through [REDACTED]." #KeepDuterteINJail www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstor...

The United States does not need to be sanctioned the same way Russia did (and “Israel” needs) in order to collapse its economy and empire. Trump is already doing that with tariffs and deportations.

A combination of tariffs and anti-immigration policies, as well as bigotry and attacks on civil rights, has the United States under Trump just as unattractive to foreign investors as genocidal apartheid Israel.

Bad Bunny decided not to include the United States in his world tour, because of ICE, and that he could be mistaken for another nationality. Bad Bunny is a supporter of Puerto Rican independence.

follow along with the gen-z protests www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

As much as I like Apple products, how does the Galaxy S20 Ultra, released *5 years ago*, support 8K video recording, while the iPhone 17 Pro doesn’t?

The last thing I’m gonna do is worry about oppressors using the actions of one person as justification to continue doing the harm they were already doing anyway.

The proposed bill on same-sex partnerships was flawed, but in rejecting it the Hong Kong authorities have shown an alarming disdain for LGBTI rights. This bill would have provided the bare minimum of protection for same-sex couples – but notably, only those who registered their partnership overseas.

South Korea stopped an infrastructure loan for the Philippines over the latter’s corruption scandals involving so-called “flood control” projects. This comes days after an ICE conducted a raid at what could have been Hyundai’s EV battery plant in the US. globalnation.inquirer.net/291005/s-kor...

This could be us but you playin

If you won't let them rape you, then they will deport you. Israel has been doing this. 100% of foreign agriculture workers were sexually assaulted, expert says: Out of 654 Thai foreign workers questioned, all of them said they had been exposed to sexual assault. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Honest yet bitter truth. And they used the right choice of words. kayhan.ir/en/news/1427...

There's a lot worse things re Isr**l but the fact that they are allowed to compete for World Cup qualification, let alone play any FIFA sanctioned matches is such utter bullshit.

Corruption scandals in the Philippines and Indonesia. Trump’s deportation sprees. The genocide carried out by “Israel” on Palestinians. They’re all related.

America deserves economic and trade sanctions because of Trump’s policies. In fact, it does not need economic and trade sanctions to cripple its economy and isolate itself.

The syncing of Indonesia's protests and the Philippines' conversation around corruption turning to scandal is remarkable

Y'all see what's up in Indonesia? 17+8 💖💚💙

The Netherlands has no mountains, and Switzerland has no oceans. Singapore has no rice fields, Saudi Arabia has no forests, and Japan does not have any mineral resources. Meanwhile, the Philippines has everything, but it is poorly managed by its so-called “leaders”.

This would also mean bigger cars in Europe (and elsewhere), which I don’t like. Also, many policies in the US at federal, state, and local levels, are not even up to EU standards, such as gun ownership. unionrayo.com/en/us-eu-agr...

Interesting: How a well-known website was acquired by a larger company, then apparently stopped human moderation (and the assumption is: replaced by malfunctioning AI) – and now users are revolting. From @mjgault.bsky.social (Translated from German via Google Translate)

It’s not even September* and they already have a Christmas tree in the lobby of my brother’s apartment building. *In the Philippines, the Christmas season starts at that month and ends on the second week of January the following year.

This will affect us too, since our design standards closely follow, sometimes even invoke, EU rules.

The progenies, the children of corrupt politicians who mindlessly, lavishly spent the money of the people in my country are currently being scrutinize. That's it! We need to put more public pressure on them. This is collective class consciousness, baby! #philippines #corruption #society

Why are several US Democrats, who claim to be “liberal”, embracing transphobia? They are (were!) the “progressive except Palestine” types, and Zionism leads them into hard right stances on immigration and LGBTQ rights.

🧵 “Home is where the grass is greener” All my aunts and uncles on my father’s side emigrated to the US, but my father decided not to because he was content (ginhawa) with the lifestyle we have today. [1] www.reddit.com/r/unpopularo...

some are saying starving sick children is an even more immoral harm. big if true.

Not surprised at all. We have known for a long time that fairly modest increases in physical activity have significant health benefits. Also if you make it easier to do the right thing more people will do it.

More fantastic work from @transsolidarity.bsky.social. Please forward a copy of this open letter to any businesses or orgs you know who are concerned about the new EHRC Code of Practice, and ask them to sign. #StrengthInNumbers @bibabee.bsky.social www.transsolidarityalliance.com/businesses-o...

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

People around the world should be way more concerned about the power the U.S. has over their governments

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Remember when “reposting” on Instagram required a third-party app? www.gsmarena.com/instagram_in...

it's what duterte was to abs-cbn. same playbook, same coach.

The Terfs argument that trans women are not banned because they can simply play on the men’s team is analogous to claiming homosexual individuals are not prevented from marrying under statutes preventing SSM because lesbians & gays could marry someone of a different sex.

every smear makes him more desirable

Your job is shooting people who are already starving and toddlers. "Death to the IDF" is the bare minimum.

Looked up at the Wikipedia entry for sportswashing. Not a single mention of Donald Trump or the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics under his administration.

Despite genocidal Israel's crumbling economy, massive debt, and near-junk credit rating, US municipalities and pension funds are investing billions in it through buying Israel Bonds and sovereign bonds. loom.ly/lxIwG3Q

When trans people in the former colony have more rights than their counterparts in the colonizer. (I’m not sharing the link here because PinkNews have been outed as TERFs)

The United States of America the #1 exporter of death and global instability
