BREAKING: Burger King workers are on strike in Oakland due to pregnancy discrimination.

The store cut our coworker’s hours because she is pregnant and asked for accommodations to ensure a safe pregnancy. 🧵

What these guys all want to do most is get likes and shares from a group of far-right blue check groypers on X. The government is being run to produce content that caters to them, and the content that caters to them is infliction of pain on those they deem less than human.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

CNN has long been captured, and I don't think that we need to have a breathless announcement of every time they demonstrate it. This goes back a DECADE. Just leave them to their filth.

Frieda was the one who made that very dramatic post and then Stella came out and said Frieda's being overdramatic. Frieda is clearly the problem Parton. Causing all that frooferaw over kidney stones, making us think it was game over.

Too much of this site is turning on alt text image descriptions on the grounds that they could be used to train AI.

Pro tip: If your AI-less utopia requires intentionally leaving out disabled people to achieve, you're imagining a dystopia.

The absolutely tragic evidence that the blogging era of feminism was a catastrophic failure is that there is no specifically feminist movement pressure to be applied right now on literally ANY of the surveillance, kidnapping, incarceration, shooting, forced pregnancies of women/girls.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

For everyone who seemingly can’t get their heads around how I can understand why Jay might be acting the way she has while also 100% not agreeing with it, let me make it clear:

Jay’s public behavior on this site since waffles has been terrible, and there need to be serious amends made.

That caption needs to be in the post, if not in the body, in the alt text. It is appalling that CNN is posting pics without alt text. A decontextualized photo from a news agency is misinformation every single time, but when the president is screaming that Portland is burning, it's disinformation.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

This is also quite literally why Trump keeps saying that Portland is a war zone and things are burning. He saw 10 seconds of a video clip from the protests in 2020 on Fox News, decided it was current and it's useful to his handlers that he thinks that and useful nonsense for the cult to repeat.

Dr. Miguelito Loveless @drloveless.bsky.social · 1d

If you go to the actual story, you are informed that this photo is from 1992. This context is omitted from posts to social media so as to generate clicks and normalize Trump's fascism by implying this what is happening NOW.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

You sure didn't think to ask President Circus Peanut why he thinks it's OK to always use "nasty" and "low IQ" while talking about Black women only. Maybe you can use your one question on something that actually makes some fuckin sense and is of consequence next time.

Some douche reporter really asked President Circus Peanut if there should be consequences for members of Congress comparing ICE raids to slave patrols? Fuck you mean? Congress, and everyone, can make any comparison they want. It's America and they have the right to say whatever the fuck they want.

also just feels important to point out that after a whole wave of trans users were suspended for pointing out JK Rowling’s transphobia, now apparently we are suspending Jewish users for pointing out Christian Zionists’ antisemitism

the pattern is, uh

not subtle

Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · 2d

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.
