Bluesky @bsky.app still on the side of genocide. Remember it

If having a trans partner is supposedly radicalizing people into leftists, why are a huge portion of DC Republicans having sex with trans women? They demonize trans people on socials, podcasts, and the floor of the House by day then proceed to solicit sex with them at night.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

Charlie Kirk was *never* an advocate for "free speech on campuses." He was an advocate for people who thought like him to be able to say whatever they wanted without social consequence, and for anyone who disagreed to be intimidated into silence.

The Brian Eno-organised show is set to take place tomorrow and is the UK's largest fundraising concert for Gaza. It will be exclusively livestreamed on YouTube.

I don’t support what happened to Kirk. Kirk supported what happened to Kirk.

“It’s chilling that a person we thought was a normal, unhinged campus shooter was actually a political assassin. You see a deranged guy with a rifle on the quad every day. I suppose it was a little suspicious that he wasn’t shooting droves of students.”

Kirk paid to bus people to J6, man. He was not invested in a peaceful path to winning democracy through debate, he was happy to have the appearance of playing within the rules of constitutional liberalism while actively working to overthrow it. www.govinfo.gov/app/details/...

“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-s…

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

NEW: Australia's Future Fund increased its holdings in Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems by 469% in 2024, deepening Australia's financial ties with companies profiting from the Gaza genocide. www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

I'm outraged by Labor's decision to greenlight PwC, a consultancy firm which has proven to be untrustworthy & that has continuously refused to cooperate with government inquiries. 🧵

I mean, I don’t know, but if you can’t protest against the deliberate starvation of an entire population of people, what is even the point of calling yourself a democracy?

Israeli forces have raided and demolished the Palestinian seed bank in occupied Hebron, West Bank. They used heavy machinery to destroy the seeds and the equipments required to store them. Israel’s war is against Life itself. More here www.instagram.com/p/DMyWONPujY6

Watching Andor, the new Superman and South Park, it's remarkable how lowbrow nerd-pop culture is crafting a far more pointed critique of this moment in our democracy than most elite journalists and politicians. Really frightening treatments of democracy falling to corruption and authoritarianism.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

The lessons of WWII's Dutch Hunger Winter are stark: Famine like what's happening in Gaza will have effect children for generations to come. “I really feel the generations before me urging me to speak out,” Dr. Tessa Roseboom told Reveal/Mother Jones in 2024. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is incredible. Every tiny piece of media literacy you possess is screaming at you that this is parody. The aesthetic is parody, the tone, the script. It is impossible to read this as sincere. It is sincere.

“I get that there’s rules” The Labor party have ridiculous solidarity rules which prohibit MPs engaging in critical thinking and having principles and a moral compass. When you elect a Labor MP you elect a robot who just parrots the talking points the leaders office sends you each morning.

All 4 senators of the racist One Nation party: Pauline Hanson, Malcolm Roberts, Warwick Stacey & Tyron Whitten, turned their backs in blatant disrespect during the Acknowledgement of Country at the opening of Federal Parliament But all that's tickety-boo for Labor & the Coalition

Louise Adler: " One might pause to wonder what First Nations people, who are the victims of racism every day, feel about the priority given to 120,000 well-educated, secure and mostly affluent individuals" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Would an Australian newspaper ever gleefully report that people on unemployment benefits or sickness benefits had found a way to rort our system? The Australian media really do like to put tax dodgers on a pedestal while obsessing about ‘welfare cheats’

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

Last month it was NDIS scams. Last week a Sydney hospital going broke. This week it’s childcare centres in strife. If you outsource community services you need stringent external monitoring and oversight processes. Better still, don’t outsource. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BTW, this is the machine you’re supposed to rage against..

ive never seen so many old men rock hard on national tv until tonight- every old white guy is salivating about how dope it is that we finally struck iran

This is one of the most depressing news stories I’ve ever read. Not shocking or confronting. Just depressing. It’s simply a journalist speaking to ICE applicants. “This is a disgusting country, I thought, irredeemable visually, psychically, morally … ethically” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Benjamin Netanyahu’s presidential plane “Wing of Zion” took off from Tel Aviv at 11.22am this morning (local time) It landed in Athens, Greece, at 1.06pm

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

Ken Burns Presents: A Soldier's Dispatch from the Front Lines in L.A.

In the AC Hotel, we got word from a staff member that the agents were staying here and questioning the workers—the workers that were cleaning their rooms, the workers that were making their food. They were questioning them and asking for their ID and in a very aggressive way.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Yes, why yes you are. #Pinks

no it’s actually because of the slavery
