UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Mira a mí ya con lo de Ezra Klein se me ha caído el minúsculo interés que me podía quedar por este medio. Es una cosa fuerte lo de los liberales EEUU.

Básicamente la autora forma parte de esa mayoría, porque el artículo hace como si los gazatíes ni existieran

Ni una sola mención en todo el artículo al genocidio o una sola de las víctimas civiles en Gaza. La única referencia (velada) es el deseo de una de las entrevistadas de "poder empezar a rehabilitarnos como nación".

Liberal zionism in a nutshell.

A sense of elation swept across Israel on Thursday as many people awoke to the news that a deal meant to potentially end two years of war in Gaza was reached overnight. But some Israelis expressed frustration that it took their government so long to reach this point.

As Israelis Express Relief at Hamas Deal, Some Ask Why It Took So Long

The families of hostages held in Gaza were elated that their loved ones might return soon. Still, some expressed frustration at Israel’s government.

Si usas tus RRSS para denunciar un genocidio, que desde el sofá no se consigue nada. Si sales a manifestarte a la calle, que eres un perroflauta y un terrorista y que si tanto te gustan los palestinos, vete a Gaza. Si vas a Gaza, que para qué vas si ya sabes lo que hay ahí.

🔴 Esta madrugada el Estado de Israel ha secuestrado ilegalmente en aguas internacionales a la Flotilla Thousan Madleens to Gaza en la que va nuestra compañera @jimegongo.bsky.social.

Estamos alerta y pedimos al Ministerio de Exteriores que actúe de inmediato para garantizar su máxima seguridad.

Pues no lo entiendes así pero es lo que es 😅 interpretar el Derecho es a lo que nos dedicamos los juristas. Si los derechos fueran “simples y claros” no existirían el Comité de Derechos Humanos, el Tribunal de Estrasburgo, el Tribunal Constitucional, etc. que se dedican a interpretarlos.

¿Qué es raza? ¿Qué es el sexo? ¿El concepto sexo incluye también la discriminación que sufrimos por no gustarnos un sexo concreto? ¿Y por no sentirnos un sexo concreto? ¿Quién decide cuántos sexos hay? ¿Permiten los DDHH tratos desiguales para corregir discriminaciones históricas?

¿Qué es esclavitud y qué no lo es? ¿Qué son torturas? ¿Cómo se mide lo que es cruel o degradante?

¿Cuándo se empieza a tener derecho a la vida? ¿En qué casos es compatible con los derechos humanos limitarlo? ¿Puedo matar a alguien para salvar mi vida? ¿Puede el Estado quitarme la libertad en alguna situación? ¿Qué prima, el derecho a la vida, a la libertad o a la seguridad?

¿Qué es "igualdad en derechos"? ¿Cuáles son esos derechos? ¿Qué es "fraternalmente" y qué no lo es?

Curro Peña 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇵🇸 @currikitaum.bsky.social · 4d

Los derechos humanos no son un dogma, son una serie de valores que los Estados del mundo acordaron que debían regir la relación entre el Estado y la persona, para proteger a ésta frente al poder del primero. Además, todos ellos son susceptibles de interpretación, por lo que de dogma tienen poco.

Another way of looking at this same picture: The euro zone is a system that use the leverage of a central bank outside the control of national governments to force deep austerity on countries like Spain, which sent them into deep depressions that created fiscal deficits that didn't previously exist.

Robin Brooks @robin-j-brooks.bsky.social · 6d

The Euro zone is a system where fiscally responsible countries subsidize chronically irresponsible ones like Italy & Spain. This happens via open-ended, no-strings-attached transfers by way of joint EU debt issuance and periodic ECB yield caps. A system that will fail because incentives are broken.

2025 y todavía siguen con el rollo protestantes ascetas vs católicos vividores. Bueno, hay gente que construyó carreras enteras sobre ese dogma (y sobre las millones de víctimas de la austeridad, claro).

Fanática es quien basa sus posturas en dogmas, y ella lo único que ha apoyado son causas con muchísimo fundamento histórico, científico, jurídico: cambio climático; Palestina; Sáhara Occidental.

Yo creo que precisamente ha demostrado que no es fanática: es coherente, y esa coherencia le viene de que su postura en las distintas causas en las que se implica está basada en los mismos principios.

BlueSky es tan progre que permite la transfobia y el sionismo pero no bromas sobre Charlie Kirk.

Aveta👾🇭🇹 @aliafonzy.blacksky.app · 5d

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

El piso que alquilamos a 1200 euros estaba hace cinco años a 700, nos acabamos de enterar hablando con los antiguos inquilinos. Los dueños no han hecho reforma ni reparaciones en todo este tiempo. Son “gente normal”, no malvados fondos de inversión. Estoy muy enfadado.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
