Upset that there are "gangs" in America but supports an organization that acts like one.

I find it interesting that Isnotreal is attacking the flotillas for bringing aid that they said weren't being blocked in the first place from humanitarian groups. If they weren't blocking the aid then why attack the ships?

Forgot to mention this is taking place in Saudi Arabia. No chance that #jokoy or #billburr will see this but I want them to know that I'm very disappointed that their soul apparently has a price. #riyadh #comedy #festival

Jane Goodall, Mister Rogers, Bob Ross, Carl Sagan, Steve Irwin were such big inspirations for me growing up. They're all gone now but their love and wisdom remain. Ku’u ka luhi, ua maha, e Jane Goodall. #janegoodall #RIL

An Ilokano proverb says: Awan libég a di aglitnáw = There is no muddy waters that doesn't clear. May the floods wash away the muddy politicans who put profits over people and may we all find freedom from those who control our "freedoms". #ilokano #bisayan #hawaiian #pride

Get in the habit of reporting s*xually explicit accounts. They are taking advantage of the new platform's loose policies. I just seen one where a guy walks around town flashing people. Reported and blocked. Take that garbage over to "X".

On this day 3 years ago, I flew up to join Philadelphia Museum of @afscme.bsky.social Philadelphia Art workers on strike, eventually winning a contract they deserved some days later.

This picket line had some memorable chants. “No contract, No peace. No contract, NO MATISSE! ✊🏾🔥

#PeteHegseth the type of guy to compare corporate board meetings to military operations and Corporate America to war zones. He probably says things like "copy", "all hands on deck", "boots on the ground", and "debriefing".
