Their truth will be exposed to the entire world once the hostages are released. For two years they lied, calling it “self-defense” and “rescuing hostages,” while in reality they carried out a cold-blooded genocide against an unarmed people.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 12h

It wasn't the genocide that freed the hostages.

It was a ceasefire deal.

Because the genocide was never about the hostages, no matter how much Netanyahu and his band of fucking fascists claim victory.

Neighbor dropped off some basil and tomatoes from their garden so we are doing spaghetti tonight. We exchange herbs and veggies and stuff as our garden grows them, it's really nice.

Hasan shows off the “shock collar.”

And look at that, everyone attacking him looks like a fucking moron.

Bluesky @moderation.bsky.app is violence. It is violence because it's a callous silencings of one of the few liines of communications for people in Gaza. It erases their history as individuals just as surely as the bombs upon houses.

Do you see their faces? Do you see how thin and gaunt they are getting? As you delete them and deny their cries for help?

How does it feel? Do you feel anything? Do you even have a heart?

History will remember you. I will remember you.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE."

Eyes Up was "an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court."

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Mutual aid and community care are the most effective things you can do right now. Seriously. Sharing other people's fundraisers, making sure people have food and transportation, protecting your immigrant and racialized and trans neighbors, wearing a mask.

ngl we can try to rationalize as much backsliding as we want but “game cancelled because black protagonist killing white terrorists during reconstruction deemed too political” is pretty bad as far as I consider things re: mainstream popular culture
