Not one elected or appointed official at local, county, state, or federal level has told these kidnappers to take a hike. Our entire government at all levels are complicit.

And, the thing is?

That "window" for fame or just consistent work for actresses is still shamefully narrow, thanks to our culture's busted attitudes toward women.

It makes sense when you realize "crime" is a code word for "people of color".

I love HyveMynd’s tiny 6mm minis.

HyveMynd @hyvemynd.bsky.social · 17h

With the addition of the label — which I didn't do a great job matching to the chosen paint color 🤬 — the first stand of 6mm scale Ancient Greek Javelinmen is 100% finished.

(Sadly, work and parenting has left me without the energy to start on another stand of Ancient Greeks tonight. 😮‍💨)

A photo of 6mm scale wargaming miniatures representing ancient Greek javelinmen against a black background. A blue label with white text that says "Javelimen (Rabble)" runs across the back edge of the base.

My therapist, a Black woman, lost her position last week, due to chronic illness. As in, her position was suddenly eliminated. She's suddenly unemployed, her clients suddenly have no therapist.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 12h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Yeah, she can be kinda fun to watch in some things!

I figure that even with nepo baby money, a lot of the clunker scripts she takes are purely to secure the bag.

No, his regime mirrors the U.S. perfectly.

The homes Israeli hostages return to VS the homes Gazans return to

The is no going back to “normal” for them. They are now living in a rubble ridden hellscape while the western world moves on, pretending it didn’t fund and approve this.

On the left is a street in Tel Aviv, Israel. Pictured is beautiful green lush Mediterranean style cityscape.

On the right is an image of a young Palestinian girl walking the “streets” of Gaza City, now turned to rubble and ash. The buildings are demolished by bombs and war crimes while the streets are littered with debris, rubble, and broken concrete.

I mean, insofar as I haven't heard anything positive about being non-white in Russia or Eastern Europe, sure.
Importantly, the Soviets aren't a thing any more.

No, because The Troops and boys in blue will make sure we show up for our shifts.
Or make sure we never do again.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Dear Everyone:

We don't solve the problems in the United States, a colonial imperial power that still refuses to give political representation to Indigenous nations or Puerto Rico or Guam or the Virgin Islands or DC and disenfranchises Black people and immigrants by the tens of thousands,

I mean, sure. Can't really speak to that tbh.

What I do know is that Jews were mistreated in the U.S. as a cultural practice, and the Soviets were monumentally racist themselves. So.

Why were no reparations made for freed slaves?

Because "the good guys" were white supremacists who wanted to murder and exploit Black people as much as the south did.

Why do we still steal from the Native Americans?
Because every white person you know is FACTUALLY still, currently, a colonizer.

Mister Hooper! @misterhooper.bsky.social · 7h

!!!

I was a little kid, wondering "if the Nazis were gone, why didn't the good guys just give all the Jewish people their stuff and houses back?"

It's because "the good guys" were/are white supremacists and they wanted to steal from the Jews as much as the Nazis did.
