Being mad at Ms Rachel is a pretty good tell that you're just mad that people care about Palestine at all— many such cases actually but in that context these people will die mad because people will always care

I would submit that mass expulsions based on nationality, apparently often of people who have been residents long enough to be in receipt of pensions and who simply failed to submit paperwork, is not in line with the "European values" that measures like this are supposedly securing

"Only when they are no longer paid a pension do they realize that something is wrong," Maira Roze, the head of OCMA, told Latvian Television's "De facto" program. "Then they call. Why am I not being paid my pension? We tell them: You have no residence permit. They ask: Where is my residence permit? We say: You should comply with the law," she said.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Reminds me of cycling to work one morning when the Rotterdam was in town for sail, parked across the IJ; it just looked like a huge new steel grey apartment building had sprung up overnight.

Every time I come across this photo it completely stops me in my tracks. Crude oil supertanker Esso Hibernia under construction at Swan Hunter shipyard, Wallsend, during 1970. The scale and spectacle of this thing is incomprehensible. (📸 Harriet Berney)

Black and white photo looking down a street of terraced brick houses. Several cars line each side of the street, with many people gathered at the far end. Beyond this the bow of a large oil tanker can be seen, towering above the end of the street and the rows of houses.

Never ever mentions Gaza on here other than as a gotcha of course.

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 1d

like no offense but tons of seemingly well intentioned people have used Gaza as a substitute for a personality the last few years and it should be glaringly obviously to everyone.

Some kind of pathological compulsion to convince yourself that anyone who is upset about watching people being slaughtered every day for years is a hipster from Brooklyn, the stereotype from like 20 years ago.

I'm not gonna pretend that I knew who she was before today but I don't see how "please sanction my country because I don't like my president" is working tirelessly for democracy

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.
