There are almost as many survival fundraisers from Americans in my timeline as there are from Palestinians. I'm not saying this to shame you, I just really want Americans to understand the imperial boomerang. What they do to others they'll eventually do to you.

Why on EARTH would anyone suspend Goran?? @safety.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team get him back on here. What are you doing??
Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.
Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.

We have got to collectively help people understand that of course the local* cops are acting as an arm of the machine. That is their purpose.
People need to grow their minds & grieve what they've been conditioned to believe about cops being there to help/serve/protect.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Ofir Birenbaum, the creepy little zio is taking Cairo Takeaway to court. He turned up there with a news crew and tried to bait them into looking antisemetic. It backfired badly on Ofir because it was a creepy fucked up false flag thing to do and he's trying to blame the victims of his racism.
