So this doesn't get lost in all the celeb entertainment: 14-1 Security Council vote for ceasefire US vetoes. youtu.be/u5_7c67WqKY

This MR is a great summary of what led me to my previous post. Schumer's video PR is shocking. He's daring the president to follow through on bellicose rhetoric. That's the only viable interpretation. All while ignoring domestic crises, including the bill in his Senate. youtu.be/Dy-0VZ1CWaI?...

The opposition party is trying to outflank the fascist regime on the right, daring them to start more fires, while ignoring their colleagues being attacked by paramilitary loyalists. It hits different when phrased this way, but is anything about this summary is inaccurate? youtu.be/YVs9j1U6AKs

I'd just like to name and shame the news outlets which omitted Jonathan Joss's husband's statement (and existence), the homophobic nature of the murder, and SAPD's apparent failure: @usatoday.com @peoplemag.bsky.social UPI (United Press) @newyorkpost.bsky.social During Pride.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

The "Abundance" campaign was already in the works before the 2024 election, and assumed a D victory (a Biden victory); this was the "opportunity economy" rhetoric that seemed so out of place, and Harris pretending that deregulation was a legitimate answer to the housing crisis. youtu.be/67hnXFQ0FD0

The Open Web Index can't launch soon enough. (The index is a public replacement for crippled search engines, from the EU, CERN, et al, recognizing humanity's need for a web index.)

NEW: A three-year investigation found that Phoenix police routinely violated the rights of homeless people. This week, DOJ officials announced that they had abandoned efforts to ensure the city and its police department addressed those issues. By @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social

#Update today! This was infusion day 3 and I have a new #GoFundMe update gofund.me/22090b21#Sol... is why I’m a fan of #MutualAid efforts. There’s a link for making a Wellness Recovery Action Plan or #WRAP to help when you need extra support to get back to good. I’m living proof it’s Good Stuff!

This is very close to my feelings about what's happening at the DNC: youtu.be/jRd4qXyFOxI "Banal" is the perfect term for Hogg's statements in Maher's "show", yet... is there an outcome in which this party doesn't destroy itself? It's all just awful. Why do I care?

#DNC Speaking of a party killing itself, if the party forces mentioned earlier Kat Abughazaleh out of the party, it may be time to call it: no moral claim to the be the opposition party, no reason to exist besides careers, complete irrelevancy in 1-2 cycles.

#DNC I'm disgusted. I thought I must be missing something, when I read the earnest posts about undoing Hogg's election. Surely, it wouldn't be so transparent, and there can't be so many apparatchiks on bsky, so synchronized. I was wrong. WTF. This party has killed itself.

There were too many mind-blowing stories yesterday, but I worry too many of us slept on what's happening at the DNC. Seeing the posts of those in the party machinery makes a lot of people feel very, very, alone.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

It's surreal to see someone credit Taylor Lorenz for the Hasan Piker and CPB story. Old media is a very strange club.

Reports on social media about new CBP/ICE directives for incoming citizens are true. youtu.be/RI5FH2vZanQ Calling for an end to the genocide of Palestinians will be material support, if the administration is successful. They're pushing the envelope in every possible way. TY Hasan for speaking.

youtu.be/iIa45e4V9SM We're incarcerating people at rates multiples of other countries, and spending multiples more on police. Our media is a complete failure. There's little correlation between crime rates and these increases. As the author says, this is an emergency. Great interview.

Stop using "felon" as a pejorative. I have known A LOT of people charged with or convicted of felonies who were good and decent people. When you have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners in a racialized police state, "felon" isn't predictive of anything, character-wise.

Must we educate every new generation about backdoors? It seems that this is so, and we have our latest task with the EU.

I am so late to things. PeerTube turns out to be awesome? Wonderful. And it establishes a precedent with the latest EC funding... this is good.
