Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social These young people are going to Gaza to try and stop the murder of children. That they have to put their live on the line reflects the absolute failure of the west, the G7, Canada. Call the Israeli embassy and warn them not to harm these children. The world watches.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Second of all, Scalia was a farty stylist but first of all he was not a fucking poet, you dipshit, he was a Supreme Court justice, and the reason future generations will remember him will be that his sweaty cleverness has a large and ongoing body count

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

Dua Lipa, Brian Cox, Nicola Coughlan, Tilda Swinton, and Benedict Cumberbatch are among 300+ signers of a letter pushing Keir Starmer to “end UK’s complicity in the horrors in Gaza.” They call for government to suspend all arms sales to Israel, use all means to increase aid, and broker a ceasefire.

Bluesky Zionist in my replies quoting one of the more racist Israeli Telegram channels to claim “Wind is changing for Hamas” because starving Palestinians broke into a “Hamas” flour warehouse. It was a World Food Programme warehouse. Even on here, Zionists will celebrate their starvation campaign.

The British should have sanctioned Smotrich and Ben Gvir in 2022, the fact that they have not done so yet more than 600 days into the genocide of Gaza is a damning indictment.

The first thing you need to know about Elon Musk is that he’s a liar. And like Donald Trump, he doesn’t lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. He lies because it works. And he lies because when he’s caught, he generally suffers no discernible consequences.

Given the disgraceful treatment of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by President Trump in the WH, it is only appropriate that we take 3 mins to listen to an excerpt of Pres Ramaphosa’s recent remarks to his Natl Assembly explaining the country’s Black Economic Empowerment Program. Brilliant.
