Sandwich man is free!!
This right here is huge. For me, helping restock one of the community food pantries around town and donating books to a local farmer’s market free library is very fulfilling. Do more of this, cis men.
COVID really taught me that men simply were not socialized to handle upsetting, unfair situations that are obviously beyond their control. Trump II is reinforcing that for me. Our society simply does not equip cis men with the tools they need to be practical realists about this historical moment.
Weeks after a farmworker died from injuries sustained during a chaotic immigration raid at a CA cannabis farm, today a man fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot was struck and killed by a car on the freeway, also in CA.
I don’t think of it as a soda either because my mom used to have me drink it when my stomach was upset.
US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked
This whole thread. It reminds me of guy I know, who is a Red Sox fan, and would get pissed at people saying the Yankees sucked during their run from 1998 to 2000. “I can hate them, but I won’t say they suck because…look: .”
A thing I've noticed this week is that a lot of people seem to subconsciously conflate power and intelligence so you get various levels of pushback when you call people in power or people who consolidate power stupid. I want it on the record that I think you can be stupid and powerful.
Cc: to anyone called up for jury duty. Spread the word.
The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.
And look where we are now. The vengeance of the confederacy is upon us. I’ve seen enough in my 51 years to know when history is repeating itself in the worst way.
Yes…you and I differ on this. And what if that attitude doesn’t change? We’re already seeing the results of it and it’s not just from people challenging those fears. I’ve seen the same attitude when it came to Black and Brown people, then the LGB community and now the LGBTQI community.
this is sexual assault and it has been sexual assault the whole time including when its done to trans people
This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone “just asking questions” for “women’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
A murder of crows? You mean caws of death??
Words have meaning. And if you want to dance around denying a genocide, you got bigger problems. Being a big Buttigieg fan and trans ally, how did you feel about his answer regarding rights for transgender people? What was clear about him using anti-trans rhetoric?
“Are they allowed to just …wander about like that?"
Great week for people who are like once I saw a black person, therefore it’s time for martial law
They passed that bill and a hospital in Nebraska closed immediately because they know they won’t survive without Medicaid/medicare. This isn’t doomerism. It’s reality. Yes, things can go differently. But are you thinking about what that looks like, if not?
NPR did a whole podcast on Trump taking over DC, and threatening to do the same with Baltimore and Oakland without saying the word Black.
A central tenet of the conservative movement is going on TV to tell the world you’re an giant baby.
Journalists in Gaza are heroes. They wake up everyday knowing there will be no good news to report. Horror and death, day in and day out.
He never called it a genocide and ethnic cleansing. His wording of “weapons that shock the conscience”, calling it “complicated”, and “starvation by choice” danced around the issue. Who supplies the weapons? What choice was made? It’s not a complicated issue. Call it out for what it is.
The reason why national reporters are pretending Pirro’s press conference raised “legitimate” issues is because so-called respectable liberals like Yglesias have promoted these same lies for years. They made this a bipartisan complaint in the eyes of the media class
No word from Mayor Bass about LAPD’s arrests and detainments of journalists at last Saturday’s protests. She’s been quiet about LAPD’s since the protests started in June.
What’s wild is when you point this out people want to respond with silly shit like “well DC is not actually majority Black” and other pointless trivia to avoid the point.
As the school year starts here we can expect a LOT more ICE activity at schools. It’s already begun in Chula Vista and LA
DAILY MEMO: Masked Agents Draw Guns On Student In front of Highschool, Leave Live Ammunition in The Street, Setting Their Sights on Schools, and More. @eltragon.bsky.social
This is what my mind debates. I see the conman president as the “distraction” because everyone around him and those influencing this admin are 1000x worse IMO. Being aware of what is going on, navigating what he says, and no clear opp movement is a lot to manage.
This site is amazing.
Turns out Bluesky does have an algorithm but it just sends your joke to the person least likely to get it and most likely to get real mad about not getting it
Man, this show Revival is pretty damn timely.
hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously
Not nearly enough people are saying “The Palestinians were right all along. We are so sorry.”
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
He also just voted against Sen Sanders resolution to block arm sales to Israel. Spineless Schiff.
I can't believe that this is an actual post by a U.S. Senator. I really can't.
fascism rejects facts, or it molds lies to the extent where fact and fiction become mixed - the only thing that matters is what the state says *right now* while it is essential to push back on false data narratives - it is not sufficient to stop them
Another Black Internationalist and Revolutionary socialist for Black August. Fred Hampton, who murdered by Chicago Police Department at 21 years old.
People being forcibly disappeared isn’t a distraction or a “trap”. What are y’all doing ??
honestly if "cops lie" is not one of your basic heuristics what are you even doing on the left
It's funny to hold nominally leftist views, but still be ignorant and credulous enough to automatically believe that what someone is charged with is legitimate. And it is the absolute height of privilege to assume the only way to fight for a better world is to stop participating in this one.
i personally feel neutral from a safety standpoint because FBI agents suck at doing all those things but i feel bad for D.C. residents, absolutely
spending your one life actively seeking out grievances seems exhausting and futile
The only bright side to seeing a fascist with a platform & a mic is that we get to hear them expressing their corrosive thoughts in a way that makes it unequivocally clear that they are mired in internal misery Sometimes I get worry that these people sleep untormented. I’m sure some do. Most do not
He is risking fucking up substantial progress in a number of directions because his brain is poisoned by his tv and he things soldiers are his toys
The absolute depravity of this from a Canadian national newspaper. I am basically speechless with rage.
I think you’re right.
welp,
“i need to be incentivized to do good” is such a fundamentally evil position
Great drive and finish by Hamby.
Buttigieg acting like ending a genocide is basically an episode of Intervention.
If you follow bsky.app/profile/alon... aka Alon Levy for transit policy you should know that they are a genocide denier and Zionist who literally just spread libel about a murdered Palestinian journalist
BBC: “Al Jazeera’s entire team in Gaza city has been killed.”
Anas Jamal Al-Sharif left these words for if he was martyred. I read them shared on Al Jazeera. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...
Why is this man still talking about something that happened over 30 years ago?
Who in public life is regularly saying: “Be realistic - demand the impossible?” None of these assholes are. It's all just shrunken horizons and telling people that nothing can actually change.
Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be
This is barbarism.
Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?
Homie is mad because I won’t let him out in this 104 degree heat.
youtu.be/5CqoRt2mC40?...
Heartbreaking: Palestinian journalists Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Quraiqa were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the tent of Al Jazeera correspondents near Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. May God have mercy on them and grant them paradise.
ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.
Sugar cookies sold at Target under the Target brand specifically. Y’all shouldn’t be in there anyways 👀
Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.
The crash outs on this site can be pretty amazing.
Gaza being covered on Wplace with thousands and thousands of hearts makes me feel so wonderful ❤️
In terms of Sheridan’s view in the screenplay vs. what Villeneuve ended up doing?
youtu.be/h_mKJLZ9BoY?...
not a fan of how our future hinges on a substantial portion of the democratic party having a change of heart on how their job requires actually responding to the grievances of their voters
A Democrat in a big city that doesn’t align with the left is not a centrist, they are a Republican waiting for an opportunity
The fact these people still have platforms when the grift is so strong is another indictment of our critical thinking.
I wouldn’t post it if it was junk. This is good reporting led by two Black journalists. What I like here is by hearing from solid sources it sets out a clear path to addressing the concerns and garnering the level of Black support Mamdani needs.
Emiliano’s restaurant posted that federal agents "stormed our restaurant…tore through our spaces, & left behind a trail of fear, confusion & destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken. Lives shattered." www.wtae.com/article/emil...
Making a bad thing even worse.
We hear the current admin blaming Biden for things when conman was president. Well, Dems doing the same in the other direction.
My friend Samaa is worried about her daughter Julia, who started developing lesions on her face. Her doctor/friend believes it is the pollution in Gaza, and recommended a topical medication. She can’t ask for help herself because of Bluesky’s genocidal policies. Donate & share gofund.me/f816f59f
I waited in line with strangers and I remember we were all excited for what this day meant and what it gave back to us. I felt immense gratitude to the nurses administering the shots and the regular citizens organizing everything around us. Why was this memory holed!
the right spent the early COVID pandemic whining about how they weren’t allowed to do various things because of the virus, then, by scientific magic, our best minds quickly developed a medicine which allowed people to do those things ASAP. and the right decided they hated that too. Still weird
I put my Covid vax card in a box so they when my niece collects the family record, when she’s old and gray, she can say see, mommy, and grammy and aunt and uncle all did their part. The same way we show her my grandmothers’ ration books from WWII. Still have some petrol coupons.
“It’s me and not you. I’m version 4.201 now.”
It is so surreal to live in this world where Sinners was the biggest film of the year. These people love racism so much more than money
Is this an A.I. version of ghosting?
My fault for missing the point. 🤦🏻♂️
They're suing to stop ICE from entering their churches. I'm under zero illusions what Christianity has done to this country but this strain of white Evangelical Christianity is *fringe* and it's a social failing that we've allowed them to dominate what it means to be spiritual in this country.
I’m sure he’s happy who runs Paramount now after the merger.
He also surprised me in Street Kings. I thought he was solid in a role I wouldn’t expect him to play.
@mangiotto.bsky.social to add to your point about Weapons. I also watch Kristian Harloff on YouTube for movie news. On his episode yesterday, he shared a friend asked him which of these movies would he recommend: Superman, FF4, or Weapons. Harloff recommended Weapons mainly because it was original.
You know what I really, really love about WEAPONS? How it gives lie to the homily that there aren't good ideas left, nor the people to execute them. Just not true. The problem has never been the creators, it's the money men. The Syndromes inventing machines to make them Super when they just aren't.
