I've set up a campaign for the Al-Ashal family that is specific to their travel expenses. With everyone's help, they've been able to relocate to southern Gaza, but they will need funds to evacuate. Please give if you can, anything helps!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

I would say "I can't believe Laura Loomer hates Muslim people more than she loves Trump" but that'd be a lie, I absolutely can believe it, it's incredibly predictable, she's a bingo card of bigotry.

Thank you for seeing our community and highlighting the incredible legacy of our matriarchs. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Since Kid Rock is trending, let's all revisit these fun lyrics he included in his Osmosis Jones cameo:

"Young ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)"

Makes sense that he's such a Trump guy. Release the Epstein files.

The Nobel Peace Prize was already a joke, but the fact that it's been awarded to María Corina Machado--a neoliberal Trump-supporting nepo baby set on impoverishing Venezuela through privatization--says pretty much all there is to say on the matter.

She's a U.S. sponsored opposition candidate and the daughter of a steel oligarch. Machado champions the privatization of Venezuela's oil, power, and steel industries.

New York Times:

“Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela & for her struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Maysara's grandfather needs daily medical support and is in need of help today, please send the campaign link directly to potential supporters if you're not able to donate personally. It really helps out if you can do that. ❤️

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

I love that Portland’s solution to being invaded was simply “Be weirder.”

Good point. Drives home the importance of putting good information out there.

Oh yeah, this is definitely Canadian political tradition. The apathy of Canadian citizens is so soul-crushing, none of this should be shrugged off, and yet 🙃

We all need to be flooding Carney's office with letters telling him that this is not normal and standard approaches only serve to normalize this fascist takeover. Why is he pretending that the regime can be reasoned with? It's horrifying.

Swolesome 🍉 @swolesome.bsky.social · 3d

And before anyone starts with the danger of not placating them, that's the entire point. They secure further power by being treated as a legitimate government. They have already shown they will violate agreements and the law. You cannot reason with them, you only give them power when you try. STOP.

Swolesome 🍉 @swolesome.bsky.social · 3d

For the love of god and all that is holy, STOP TRYING TO SECURE A DEAL WITH A FASCIST STATE. Every interaction that validates the Trump regime's legitimacy is enabling their continued takeover. Stop capitulating. Stop pretending this is normal.

Those elbows came down so goddamn fast.

And I say this as someone who's chronically ill. My illnesses are absolutely related to the stress I live with as an oppressed person. It's honestly kind of sad how close he got to getting it. In a different timeline, he might have actually found peace, but he couldn't let go of hate and ego.

Jordan Peterson is embedded in Euro-Western arrogance and illusions of control but unlike other grifters, he's a true believer. His mind is so polluted by man-made order and hierarchies, he cannot accept that nature is the only real power.

The spiritual attack is coming from inside the house, js.

Sensei Sergio fuckin' ruled. The rest felt more like an awkward imagining of anarchism from the perspective of a wealthy White cis dude who is new to the process of self-locating. That's not a read, just acknowledging the reality.

So here's my review of One Battle After Another, specifically how I imagine the creators behind it approaching the project itself.

30 Rock meme of Lenny, a visibly older man pretending to be a teenager, with the caption "How do you do, fellow leftists?"
