There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Love that how Bluesky is handling 85% of the people from Gaza entering stage five of a famine is by mass deleting their accounts again

Hello all. The short of the story is I didn’t get enough for bills last month and I’m in the danger zone. It’s okay bc I know everyone is having a hard time.
It would be so helpful to at least get to $600 this month if possible. That would keep me housed.

If you say that America is poised to institutionalize a police state - that the reality of concentration camps and regularized disappearances will become an ongoing facet of life - you'll still receive eye-rolls and clucked tongues. But that is not a possibility of this budget, it is the purpose.
this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

This so firmly an act of unforgivable evil that anyone doing it needs to be made starkly aware that their life in, and any connection to, all queer communities is done the second they pick up the phone.
For the record: anyone calling ICE, on anyone? Is bad. I'd say, for me, unforgivable.
Calling ICE on another queer person? Is betrayal. That's in "most evil acts it is possible to do" territory.

I think it's because I'm older now and also lived through 9/11 in this country but I just find USian Islamophobia extremely pathetic and I think that the Islamophobes are losers, lol. But I imagine younger Muslims are definitely fed up with this current virulent manifestation.
I am so, so tired of the absolute gutter Islamophobia I’ve been seeing around lately. The shit people feel comfortable saying out loud is absolutely insane

Been true my whole life.
When Republican voters surprise pundits, there's always a spate of opinion pieces arguing that we must take the time to understand the wants and desires of said voters. Apparently, when Democratic voters do it, the response is to say they're unserious people who need to grow up. Interesting.

I am hearing people on our side describing Brad Lander, Mayor Baraka & Senator Padilla's arrests as "stunts" designed to boost their electoral prospects.
First of all, I know that Brad Lander has been quietly accompanying migrants to their appointments for YEARS now, long before he ran for mayor.
