Instead of reinstating Eslam’s account w/ over 4k followers @soma-eslam.bsky.social—which she relied on for support/survival—they deleted her sister’s account @saja21.bsky.social & now the new one she opened up just days ago @soma-artist.bsky.social. Bunch of fascist génocidaires running this place.

Eslam’s account @Soma-eslam.bsky.social still has not been reinstated, and her sister’s account @Saja21.bsky.social has now been taken down. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app has been clear in their depravity that they intend to remain willfully complicit in genocide. Disgusting.

Israel intercepts another Gaza aid flotilla amid criticism over treatment of activists

Israeli foreign ministry confirms interception and says those on board will be deported A new Gaza-bound aid flotilla has been intercepted by the Israeli army, days after the detention of activists on board vessels bound for the war-torn territory caused international outrage and widespread protests. The Israeli military was jamming signals with at least two boats being boarded, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said on Instagram. Continue reading...

Shitlib meme warrior, gavin newsom, has signed AB 715 into law, which penalises California teachers for "antisemitism" using the IHRA definition - that includes criticism of israel and, by relation, zionism. The law was pushed by pro-israel advocacy groups (JLC, JPAC) and Democratic party lawmakers.

This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for children— that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

Never has it been clearer that none of us are free until Palestine is free.

2 years of pain that never heals, of children who slept and never woke up.
2 years of ashes,of tents,of cold, hunger & fear.
2 years where even the sky can no longer tell the difference between night and blood...
Yet despite the pain, we believe that justice will come, no matter how long it takes.💔

Two years of genocide… two years of blood, hunger, and betrayal; of loss and waiting, of nights torn apart by airstrikes and days drowned in rubble.
Two years of missing the faces that are gone, and holding on to the fragments of memory so they can’t be stolen.

Absolutely disgusting that the bsky team saw fit to change their tos and go to war with the community in order to protect a universally despised evil bigot who is explicitly here to hurt the site, but banned this man without cause or warning and can't be bothered to even acknowledge it. Vile people.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return

For decades, Antarctic sea ice levels remained relatively stable despite rising global temperatures. But that shifted suddenly in 2016, when the extent of sea ice began to sharply fall.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas

Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences
