If the question is "how can this be happening? How is this legal?" then the answer is "illegal =/= impossible, and laws aren't force fields."

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

@jay.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app Please please change your approach to Palestinian accounts. It’s increasingly difficult to see it as anything other than a deliberate attempt to silence their voices.

For the last ~3 years, this rock overlooking Waterford City was painted black, with "Free Palestine" in big white letters. 2 weeks ago, someone repainted it with the tricolour. But the rock got another makeover. Absolutely brilliant, and a point of pride for Waterford. Saoirse don Phailistín!

My offer of building a website where we can centralize all these stories/fundraisers in 1 place without fear of "moderation" taking them down still stands. If anyone would like to get involved, LMK and we can get started.

Things that are, without a shadow of a doubt, racist: - killing Black people en masse - convict leasing - calling Black people “blacks” - police brutality Things that AREN’T racist: - criticizing the system that enables all this - acknowledging that white folks built and uphold that system

WHAT LMFAO Y'all, I am apparently as bad as the Klan for... ...criticizing white folks who were in the Klan and killed Black people en masse?
