This hits the crux of the issue why Bluesky is a useful fallback in a European or US context (the reason why it will get funding as long as Musk controls twitter), but not very helpful when it comes to information and debate about the wider world.

Taped window panes to protect from shattering glass from bombs. 1-2. Barcelona, 1938. I don't know photographer. 3. Odessa, 2022, photo by Viacheslav Onyshchenko. Don't suppose there's a window left in Gaza to shatter.

Loudéac, France. 1331 Romanians voted in the second round of the presidential elections. Over 82% voted for the far-right candidate. Many of them work in the nearby slaughterhouses. Both social media and part of the traditional media have been spreading clichés for days... 1/

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place. He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII. I cover this insane ruling here. Subscribe to support my journalism.

A very short thread, just to share a couple of recent articles related to the neofascist networks AUR is connected to. This is investigation by one investigation by journalist Mihaela Tănase (in Romanian). It's very detailed, so for my non-Romanian... 1/ context.ro/fratiile-leg...
