I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Loving this version, Benedick is way more of a horndog than I remember. The Samuel Goldwyn version must have really dialed him back

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This explains how to move to Blacksky but not what it is. I'm getting through context that its another site, what exactly is different enough to go through the effort of moving over.

Whats different and whats the same about blacksky?

Naomi Collymore @darkmess.bsky.social · 6d

Can someone explain the difference between bluesky and blacksky? I thought Blacksky was like a black creators feed list?

Another Black man was found hanging in the woods and they’re calling it a suicide.

At this point, we’re all gonna have to post that we’re mentally sound and would NEVER hang ourselves from trees.

His name is JAYVON GIVAN.

I don’t initiate small talk, but people often initiate and I respond in kind. I could never encounter that person again, but that moment of assurance does mean something. Someone reached out and someone reached back. For that moment, we weren’t alone.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

🇨🇦 CANADIANS:
Sign this House of Commons petition to withdraw bill C-2!
The bill is bad, the petition is quick and easy.

Thank you, @jennykwan.bsky.social

👉 ✒️ www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Screenshot of the linked page, text below:

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Bill C-2, titled the “Strong Borders Act”, contains provisions that threaten fundamental rights and freedoms protected under Canadian and international law;
- The Bill would grant law enforcement and national security agencies warrantless access to Canadians’ historical associations with organizations and businesses;
- It would allow authorities to compel the disclosure of sensitive personal information, including geolocation data and contact details, based merely on suspicion of relevance to the investigation of offences under Acts of Parliament, regardless of individual involvement;
- The Bill is designed to facilitate Canada's alignment with the United States' CLOUD Act and the United Nations Cybercrime Convention, raising serious concerns about foreign access to Canadians’ private data, including by regimes with poor human rights records; and
- Bill C-2 undermines Canada’s obligations under international human rights instruments, particularly in relation to privacy rights and the fair treatment of migrants and refugees.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in its entirety;
2. Reaffirm Canada’s commitment to privacy, civil liberties, and international human rights standards;
3. Reject any legislative or policy initiatives that would enable foreign states, including the United States, to gain undue access to Canadians’ personal information; and
4. Ensure that national security and border-related legislation upholds the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is subject to meaningful judicial oversight.
