I think at some point y’all gotta recognize that nobody can do politics as we know it, succeed, and also be a good person who stands on what they believe in. The system is irreparably broken and literally does not allow it. So you gotta decide what you want to do with that knowledge.

I can personally vouch for Raghad she lives in the same camp as I do.
Please, help her and her sick mother. Her mother’s condition is severe; she suffers from partial paralysis and can barely move inside the tents..

My family and I are living in tents now, and my mother is sick. You know that a sick person cannot tolerate living in a tent they need a clean environment. Unfortunately, we are not in a clean place. You know how hard life in tents is sleeping on sand, having insects inside.🥺💔

Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

regular reminder that Salesforce is absolute garbage

Judge You Harshly 🦋✌️🤟🖖 @judgeyouharshly.bsky.social · 13h

Salesforce made a pitch to my company earlier this year:
Their (mandatory) “tools” would monitor our sales team in order to build AI sales models.

By spying on best practices they’d create a virtual sales team & my company could fire 30-50% of our team within 3 years.

I retired immediately. 🫩

An Indigenous person stands inside a store. They have their hair in a blunt cut mullet, which is black with bleached tips. They're wearing torn jeans and a black shirt with an undershirt that has one red arm and one green arm.

The shirt, which is a play on the declaration of independence phrase that calls Natives "merciless Indian savages" reads "merciless NDN sandwiches".

For over a year now I’ve worked so hard and tried everything I could to avoid this. But I couldn’t save enough, so here we are.

I made a Gofundme. Depending on the outcome I will either hire an expensive immigration lawyer and give it one more try, or pack up and use the money to start over.

doesn’t help that the common American pronunciation sounds like “An-Tifa” rather than “Anti-Fa”

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 16h

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.

the most influential part of my decolonial education was reading all the texts written by the founding fathers, the puritans, and the conquistadors. Truly depraved people.

It's amazing how much of not falling for America's settler colonial narrative means actually learning the documented, recorded facts of the noble figures of their pantheon. They're monsters with appetites for cruelty.
