Hey @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team Ahmad has been part of this place for a long time and we need to celebrate his wedding! They are such a lovely couple and we all need to feel good. 💕 come on now, it’s Christmas!
So @ahmadjohary16.bsky.social has a spam label- his wedding is next week and he’s very upset by this and is hoping people will advocate to Bluesky on his behalf to get it removed ❤️

I don't know how people like Starmer, Lammy, Cooper, and Lord f***ing Timpson can live with themselves. The contempt she feels for the British state is a healthy and valid human response to an unacceptable reality. Quoting the great Norman Finkelstein "I don't wanna be adjusted to this world".
Take a look at this video if you want to know what censorship looks like in a "civilized" nation.
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was arrested by UK police under the Terrorism Act at the Prisoners for Palestine lock-on protest outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in London, which insures the Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.

Freedom of speech, in the liberal ideal, was about limiting the power of the elites.
Now, in this twisted form, it is about forcing us to listen to elites and silencing the masses.

Got an appointment from the hospital. At the top of the first page is my name, address, NHS number and patient number. The first two pages of the letter tell me where and when and remind me that I should bring my hearing aids/walking stick/whatever other helps I might need. The usual stuff. (1/4)

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Fiasco for Trump as Judge Issues Harsh Rebuke in Abrego Garcia Case
Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.
They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.

I’m so sad and angry. Rania and I have been in touch for months during this genocide and I have grown to love and admire her so much. Through bombings and displacements, she’s been a rock and a star for her family. And now, because she couldn’t get evacuated in time, she’s gone. I’m so sorry. 💔
My dear friend has passed away.
Rania has developed sepsis after a long and complicated pregnancy during the famine.
In a world where the genocide had ended, she could be evaluated for treatment in another country because in Gaza it is impossible to get her the care she needs.
