Sadly Bluesky suspended a survivor of genocide a girl whose only crime was trying to save her paralyzed father, a man broken by war and a stroke?
She asked for help, not spam. She wanted a chance to study, to live and they erased her voice.
Please back rubaa.

This *should* be enough of an impetus for Mayor Keith Wilson to boot ICE out of town.

Stopping local emergency services and threatening to shoot them. If not, what's the holdup?

Get rid of the permit. Start cutting off electric and water. You'd do it if the building was "taken over" by the left.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

As per my promise to balance out any posting related to HP, check out this beautiful promotion for the upcoming Witch Hat Atelier anime! It's slated for 2026. Go read the manga too! There's better magical stories out there that deserve more love than HP.

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

Read his veto messages here:

A good piece, with a couple of examples of bad NYT headlines undermining good reporting as a bonus.

The MAGA “influencers” accompanying Noem, & the administration itself, are lying.

Not living in a different reality or having a different view of the facts. Intentionally lying.

Propaganda.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Very disappointed that no one is calling it out in the comments. But it's possible they could be deleting negative ones.

I was fooled by the preview image thinking "OMG GIRL BALTO" but nope, AI slop. #furry #furryart #animation

The original Antifa was Antifaschistische Aktion, created to oppose Adolf Hitler.

It was short-lived. Hitler banned it and declared its members terrorists.

Familiar?
