Good on them

The New Springfielder

I’ve added my signature. If you’re Iranian or Israeli, consider adding yours as well. Enough with the violence!

Looking at this, the malicious compliance becomes more evident by comparison - as someone who's marched in parades in a NON-military sense, if your expression wasn't blank and your arms matched with everyone else, you were out of step, and being out of step in a parade is unacceptable

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Toast to Dionysus (2022)

Weirdly, this is not limited to believers. Christian atheists and agnostics will defend the righteousness of Jesus overturning tables in the Jewish Temple.

Born too late for war in the middle east Born too soon for war in the middle east Born just in time for war in the middle east.

just a reminder that Rania Khalek is an extremely bad actor. Assad apologist, Putin apologist, genocide denier; generally horrible. I know people see her saying the right things about Palestine and so might repost her but she's really no good. I'd just suggest blocking.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

Gay dinos on parade! I hope you are all having a wonderful pride month and celebrating it the way you enjoy most <3

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

no one came to a grown man's GI Joe themed birthday party and that's somehow funny to you??

Observations from Chicago march: - a *lot* of American flags. Not just upside down ones, either. Normies are indeed pissed & out in force. I saw one old guy with a flag as a cape, no lie, go up to a line of bike cops and thank them for their service. - Mexican, Palestinian & Latin Am. flags too

The only King I acknowledge:

Sometimes figuring out who you are isn't what comes naturally. For pride, I wrote a little something dedicated to those who're still questioning themselves, whether its their sexuality, romantic identity, or gender identity. Read it here: tinyurl.com/5893a262 🎨 thanks to @sarcoph.bsky.social

Proud of Minnesotans

Tends to get glossed over in the west that Mizrahi, demographically the largest Jewish ethnic division in Israel, tend to be the biggest hardliners because they and their families were violently driven out of their homes. Mostly because it ruins narratives about European colonizers.

"When we hear and accept what we hear without meeting others, without asking how can it be, without looking for friends outside our circles, when we accept hatred for a group as a legitimate discourse – Pharaoh is alive and well, inside ourselves." Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel 1/x

We were accosted after the pride march today by a white cis gay man with "COVID'S OVER! TAKE OFF YOUR MASK" and harassing us as we got into a car. Ableism is a drug to the now-palatable-formerly-oppressed, and I'm so fucking exhausted.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

It's ok to be wrong. Holding on to bullshit just so you don't have to admit that to yourself is unhealthy. It's especially OK to change your mind about political views you held when there is evidence to contradict what you thought. Trump is in fact a fascist. You can say so.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

Obviously Mamdani's record, like that of any politician, is not above criticism, but this leans hard into portraying him as "scary Muslim dude." They even edited the image to make his beard look longer and darker. American Jews should speak up against this sort of Othering of a religious minority.

Grace can be a tease if she wants

The main reason we're here, really, is that people can't f*cking read.

all in all i would say this is going to make for the worst birthday ever

Nothing will make me block you faster than gloating at civilian casualties. It also makes clear you're a sh*t person.

So I spent 16 mins on this

bluey and bingo 🧡💙

at some point it is going to be America getting blown the fuck out by sophisticated, multi-year intel-driven strikes, because we put the dumbest and most venal people in the world in charge of counterintelligence

It's amazing how people get upset when they realize it is them. That they are the ones gloating at civilian deaths because they happen to be the civilians on the other side. And then they have to contend with the fact they are not any morally superior to the IDF.

Israeli babies are accomplices to genocide! You heard it here first.

All these 'pro-Palestinian' guys out here cheering for the Iranian regime 'intervening' to 'stop the genocide' when actually it's blindly lashing out in minimally successful attempts to murder innocent civilians, because it demonstrably can't fight a real military to save its own fucking existence.
