liberals being forced to watch footage of every horrifying thing that was done to Palestinians with Biden’s full approval

Nazis reacting to footage of the horrors of concentration camps they were forced to watch after they lost.

Of course I know who they are. I'm asking who you are and why you feel so comfortable using the legacies of black activists for your own personal clout.

You know, Tennessee holler, there’s actually hundreds, thousands even, of people who have pointed out this same fact, that aren’t whites supremacist propagandists.

Why would you focus on HER saying this?

CANDACE: “Trump wants a Nobel Prize for the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza they can profit off of and turn into a beach town… every family set to inherit what they did will be cursed… when they build a Trump Hotel there, I caution 🌍 to stay far away from that cursed land.”

All on a post about a MUSLIM man supporting trans rights while running for mayor.

Don’t see Israel supporting trans rights…

I am so sick of living in a world where certain groups insist art & culture be re-oriented to serve their tastes and whims when their own pitiful inability or unwillingness to critically engage with and contemplate creativity clearly demonstrate that art & culture are too good for them.

Please share & give to help Ahmad's family survive the aftermath of 2 years of Israel's genocidal famine & destruction of Gaza. They've been left homeless & with nothing, & are in urgent need of funds to rebuild their lives (no donations for 3 days):

this guys posts are insane

“defend Israel’s Jewish identity AND demand secularism for “Muslim states””

Disco Brian Davis @discobriandavis.bsky.social · Jul 1

Mamdani & Lander waving a trans flag together at the Pride parade truly is the picture of promise, hope, & progress.

However, this is also an *entirely relevant* line of inquiry for Madani or anyone who refuses to defend Israel’s Jewish identity & fails to demand equal secularism for Muslim states.

Brad, does he speak against the human rights violations against LGBTQ in Gaza by Hamas? Or the LGBTQ dehumanization by the Islamic clerics in Iran, and the West Bank? No? But calls the most welcoming city for LGBTQ in the Eastern Hemisphere (Tel Aviv) an apartheid state.

Racialized youth and trans youth are the targets of the two most savage reactionary efforts; to be at the tender mercy of both those engines of death at once is truly to be living in the wolf's mouth

This is an ideological dominance play. U’r incapable of dialoguing so u’r trying 2 trap me in linguistic terrain u control (“capital,” “system destruction”) while sidestepping my point about integrity & per4mtve hypocrisy.

U’re trying 2 win conceptually, not connect humanly.

From the *first* day I entered the toxic sewage that is social media, @demsocialists.bsky.social-leftists/trolls across the spectrum have humiliated & wished death on me. So it's really beautiful 2 have become a *feature* of NAN's YouTube, an org led by The Man Coretta S. King called "OUR Leader"

🕷️SPIDER FACT SUNDAY🕷️:

There is a species of tarantula named after Johnny Cash (in case you were still thinking Dylan & Springsteen are cooler than him).

The Aphonopelma johnnycashi was discovered in 2015 near Folsom Prison. One of the rarest in their genus.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Did you know that if someone is talking about something that is helping them get through difficult times, and it doesn't work for you, you can just keep that fact to yourself?

It's true! You don't have to drag down their mood for no reason!

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

One of the earlier and most-viewed examples was an animation of Al Shifa Hospital, published in October 2023.
