This is a very good case in point - if BlueSky wants to moderate heavily, then moderate heavily, but you gotta hit all the offenders, *especially* the powerful ones

Despite a ceasefire mandating the passage of humanitarian aid, only a fraction of the aid needed has been let into Gaza.

I still stand by these, even as universities around the world, including my own, brainlessly capitulate to AI.

🌱 Spain’s community energy revolution is spreading! From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are providing cheap, clean electricity to homes, including low-income families, while promoting local ownership and fighting fuel poverty. We love to see a community-led energy transition 🤩

All I’m asking for is a tent to protect me and my kids from the cold and rain Please this is urgent appeal🙏🏻 I have no income and my husband was killed in the war😭 If you don’t help me I will not be able to provide a shelter to protect my kids from the cold and rain😔 gofund.me/61dbf8f73

this is true for both the 'not enough babies' and 'too many babies' sides, btw

Local areas can lead the way on protecting nature, making lives better and securing a safe future for all of us - but they need government to stop starving them of funds. @carladenyer.bsky.social led the way with her Climate Emergency declaration. Now time for the Government to step up.

Fatma had been messaging me since July for help- if you have just a little for her family I know it would be appreciated ❤️

The Greens will repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill. But ACT won't give up. They will spend millions into fooling voters that free market capitalism is the only future left for New Zealand. However, you can help stop ACT from getting even more power. (1/2)

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Fatma. Fatma and her husband had a small grocery store before the war which was destroyed along with their home. She is taking care of her daughter Lolo, 4 as well as their parents and Fatma’s grandfather all of whom have health challenges

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

As New Zealand Minister Hon. Simon Watts heads to #COP30, here's some remarkable new information from an Official Information Act response I received today. 1/-

#NZLabour needs to repeal this and anything else this awful 8% f@#ker has pushed through #nzpol #workers #union

My home was destroyed and I didn’t cry My work was destroyed and I didn’t cry But seeing my children dying from hunger and the cold of the night that is what breaks my heart and makes me burst into tears I beg anyone who sees this post not to ignore it Link support 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/from-a-hom...

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

PLEASE read this and get your submission in to the fast-track farce: www.kasm.org.nz/makeasubmiss... Here in Taranaki, Pātea, Whanganui, coastal Manawatū, and Horowhenua need all your voices ✊🏼 #nzpol

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.

Deeply grateful to the cops who pushed hard against this, the journos like Paula who get the sunlight disinfectant out, & Ms Z who has been victimised at every turn.

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

‼️This is final call for help‼️ The donations have been very weak lately 😞 Food is very scarce and the situation is difficult 😭 We are still alive only because of your donations 😔 Please, don't ignore us 🙏 gofund.me/cff04ac94 ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

Hello, I'm Nourin from Gaza. My children are Muhammad, Ghaith, and Yassin, but my son Ghaith is sick. I urgently need $500. Can you help me? I hope you hear my plea. Thank you. 😭 It's a humanitarian issue 🫂😭 chuffed.org/project/emer...

Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading. But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you. Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

An 'off the books' investigation with a pre determined conclusion that wouldn't negatively affect his ability to get promoted....hmm sounds legit #nzpol #workers #union www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Police is an adjective. Officer/officers Commander/commanders Would be more correct as in: 100 Police officers investigated for faking breath tests. Several police commanders scramble for cover following more McSkimming revelations.

What is the plural of police? It's not polices. "...Senior police attempted to influence the investigation..." "https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/578556/former-police-commissioner-andrew-coster-placed-on-leave-from-ceo-role-after-release-of-damning-report #nzpol #workers #union

Torrential rainfall in the Brazilian city of Belem flooded pavements outside the venue for the #COP30 climate talks. Scientists say climate change is making extreme weather events more common.

welcome to 2025 everyone!!

After a long time, Sama and Baha have a place, a roof. They are trying to fix it with whatever they can to make it livable but this of course costs quite a lot. To spend the winter in a protected place with their daughters. @samaa06.bsky.social @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/db56c7ce3

Dima is friends with @redaqeshta.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before, sent me a photo of her Palestinian ID and sent me her location over WhatsApp. Dima is very young to have so much responsibility and is worried about her mom and dad surviving in their current tent. If you can help please do❤️

We haven’t received any donations for four days, and we are close to being unable to buy food. We still need your support.🙏 Your donation or sharing can make a big difference in our lives. @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1382...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Dima. Dima is 22 years old and was studying IT at university before this. She is helping her very large family including her parents who are both in their sixties. Their biggest concern is winterizing their tent which as you can see needs it.

here is no work in Gaza. Hunger is killing us, and my children are constantly getting sick because there is no food. Please, help us feed the children Link support 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/from-a-hom...

Although a ceasefire was declared in Gaza, we lost our homes and everything we had. Please don’t forget us — your support helps us survive the cold, the tents, and the hardship of displacement @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1444...

@mommunism.bsky.social I'm nearing the end, I'm only $294 away If you see this, share, leave even a dot and d0nate any amount you can gofund.me/f575df23

You can see in the quoted video how threadbare Dima’s family’s tent is- she is very concerned about the weather this winter- there are now more tarps and tents available in Gaza but that doesn’t help if she can’t afford them. Even a small amount can help get her to be able to ❤️

I live in a country (Spain) led by a coalition of left parties and we are doing just fine. The reality, the right doesn’t want you to see, is that you can have a universal healthcare that doesn’t cost you an eye, you can have labor rights, holidays, birth leaves. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Salma. Salma was a computer engineer before this. Her family’s home was destroyed and she has been struggling to live with her children Hala, 12, Jode, 7 and Ahmed, 4. Ahmed has respiratory issues which have been made worse by the conditions
