This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

So citing works is useless, to you, because even when they're cited directly to support an argument (which is what a citation is) they don't mean anything. So academic and research papers are just useless entirely, too.

First the Wiccans cursed Charlie Kirk, and I said "Hell, yeah, radical!" Then the Wiccans cursed Jordan Peterson and I was like "Alright, maybe I should look into this religion....."

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself! one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

Bluesky is beyond saving with its current leadership. They told us to build our own spaces, moderate our own communities, and take ownership of the network and the moment we actually did, they took that power away.

BSky hid @asukafield.xyz's transphobia mod list. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

The Louvre has actually doxxed and revealed personal information about marginalized people that lead to them being harmed in real life? Oh, no, that was Libs of TikTok

Not sure where I stand on the AI "slur" stuff. However, I do know it costs me nothing to drop a word that I wasn't even using anyways because of concerns about bad actors using it for racism against real life humans. I'm not wading into any more of those threads. I can't psychologically take it.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Blourve: *post screenshots of bad takes, crashing out, and the occasional wholesomeness* OP: and this is just like racism, homophobia, and trans-hate.

they're going back to their roots (being racist to Black users)

"If you used different words to make the sentence entirely different than the whole sentence would have an entirely different meaning than the sentence with different words" Yeah, that'd be really crazy. Totally wild.....

when trans people's rights are being threatened, it's a distraction from tariffs or something, but when the head of the site reveals herself to be a huge transphobic piece of shit all the same people immediately go after the jingling keys of the "sentient AI" discourse

reminder that these people were bringing food

Laying in bed after a twelve hour workday, half a gummy, and a cold bowl of cereal. 👍💯👍

Reports indicate there has been a week-long gas leak at Bluesky HQ

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too. Sorry, but fuck that.

My dear and good sir if you don't post the source and then verily if you don't fire the exact sentence and thenforth if you do not explain in great detail the violations thereof and afterwards you do not.... Fuck off, dude. If you're really this dumb they should take away your driver's license

Look what you let them do to her, your own citizen. @swedenun.bsky.social @swedenineu.bsky.social

Echoing your words, I agree. I fought for too long, and she'd too many tears to be amused by people making jokes aimed towards us immigrants, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE WHITE AND AMERICAN BORN. Silence is best for some, and certain people should read the goddamn room.

Hi! If you are a liberal who just began to follow me here, you're gonna have a bad time. This is a heads-up. I loathe Donald Trump with all of my being, the man's policies during his first term hurt a relative of mine and her children years ago. I never forgot that. But I also do not like democrats.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Me, coming to terms with a few extra pounds I've put on recently

Just fucking FEED PEOPLE. Cutting food stamps, food banks... the fash are just starving people. I hate it so much. I've brought half my farm share to the food bank for a couple years but I doubled up this year... because I knew these fuckers would do this. projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

You literally search her name obsessively and throw yourself into random threads with zero context firing away like an asshole claiming everyone else is an idiot. Absolutely pathetic. Find a different hobby, preferably offline.

2025 and we still can't stop fucking talking about Jill Stein.

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell infested with bedbugs Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags flags in a high-security prison "Ansar III"

Free Greta Thunberg! climatejustice.social/@mikeblake/1...

Damn. You are really pissed off that I don't like your candidate who hates autistic people and thinks Wifi is a threat to children. Can't imagine crashing out this hard over someone like that

this is for survival as a trans woman in 2025 America. As always, I appreciate everybody and am so grateful for your help. Thank you. ♡ www.paypal.me/XP1991 - cash.app/$Meztiza91

I love my partner very much. Sometimes she will say something like "What do we think about Gavin Newsom?" As I'm brushing my teeth before bed and my blood pressure rises as I realize just how terminally online I am

You are amazing. People like you are absolutely crucial in these hard times. Please let us know if there's a way for us folks outside of Illinois to donate to a pro bono fund for these brave protestors!

Kat is out there getting thrown to the ground by ICE and calling for direct and actionable consequences to these fascist assholes. She is the model for what we want to see from politicians. See and hear your electorate, America. We won't accept anything less than Kat.

I said what I said.

They're learning

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Swifties should be offered a lottery chance of getting invited to Taylor Swift's wedding. 20 get selected and all they have to do is beat the Kansas City Chiefs in an official football game. We give them training, pads, a coach, everything. Then you sell out the stadium and see what happens.

The Dems Who Walk Away From The Voting Booth

Fun fact: I worked on this technology back in 2010, here in the USA - a biomimetic adhesive for wet conditions, based on amino acid monomers. Less-fun fact: I, along with a hundred other researchers, was laid off from our large adhesives company because they wanted to "focus on core capabilities"

Chat is this good

Highly recommend the Hepatitis A&B combo. If they keep deregulating the FDA and water, containments in food/water will be much more likely to make you sick. It's a three round set, but they're only a few weeks apart and very important!

Keep posting through the crash out! Historically the only way through a crash out is to keep going! You're doing so well these past three days. Maybe another three and all us stupid little users will shut the fuck up and let you keep abusing us for money! Keep going! You're almost there!

You cannot possibly guess the context of this answer

are you suggesting that work will set them free

You're using product in two different ways here. Yes your code is the "product" of your labor. Your "product" that you sell to investors/advertisers is user engagement. A userbase is the product social media sells. And currently you're all doing a shit job at protecting your product.

Good morning! Happy Friday! In this space we stand up for trans and other queer folks, we stand up for BIPOC folks, and we work towards working class solidarity. We do not compromise our values or sacrifice marginalized groups, especially not when we vote. I hope everyone has a good Friday!

What?? Are they invading blue cities the “smart way??” DONT’T NORMALIZE THIS.

Nazis are not the ones I see being moderated into oblivion

Who the fuck watches TV and is like "oh yeah, I hope she's a virgin"?!?!?🤮🤮🤮🤮 God people are disgusting
