If you are silent, you are complicit with nazis.
Choose your side now.
It is impossible to stay impartial.
The image is a screenshot of a quote from goodreads.com attributed to A.R. Moxon.

This is the quote:

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

The administration wants to dismantle left networks. So we need to double down on connection-building—strengthen our networks, grow deeper relationships, prioritize care.

It was an honor to join @mskellymhayes.bsky.social & @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social on Movement Memos.

We hear a fair amount about innocent “women and children” killed in Gaza and much less about “men” being killed, as Arab men are depicted much like Black men in media: as savage brutes.

I challenge you to watch this video of Yahya Barzaq working with babies and not to cry at his tenderness.

Yahya Barzaq, killed today by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, was a talented photographer known for capturing the innocence and joy of Gaza’s children.

Is anyone else find it really fucking disturbing that an AI character generated from the theft of thousands of actors and actresses is being called “she/her” and they use a name for it? According to terfs, it doesn’t have ovaries or an ability to give birth.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Very telling that Chorus boss BTC and creators named in Taylor's article are attacking the messenger and not the message: and mark, how none of them have targeted WIRED, which stands by everything in the article, which was written in accordance with the high journalistic standards they're known for.

Here is the statement from Omidiyar on the network's Reporters in Residence program debunking false claims that my journalism fellowship is funded by Sixteen Thirty.

Neither I nor they have ever received funding from the Sixteen Thirty Fund. I have never received a dollar from any dark money group

She is being targeted, she has every right to be defensive and paranoid. Don't pile on, you can be next.

Footage captured yesterday at Ardrossan, Yorke Peninsula, reveals more underwater impacts of SA's Harmful Algal Bloom.

With neon green water, the seabed was littered with dead and dying animals. There were also hundreds, if not thousands, of garfish on the seabed, some still alive.

New Realtime Techpocalypse article! How much wealth does Musk have? He earned $203B in 2024. If the height of Mount Everest represents this quantity, how tall would $50k stand in comparison? The answer is that $50k would amount to the size of a single flea. THAT'S IT! Short 🧵

Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance

First they came for the activists,
and you said nothing.

She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest.

Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital.

She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.
