Speaking out against Zionism, racism and fascism is not intolerance, @moderation.bsky.app . It is speaking the truth that you are so obviously trying to censor.

Columbia bylaws state that the president can only send police on campus to arrest protestors after consulting with the university senate. Once again, the president has neglected to follow these rules, which have been in place since 1968.

It’s wild watching people search for the pretext to feel okay with sending people off to be rendered beyond concern and disappeared from their lives but it’s such a routine function of US society.

Relative of a family friend got swept up by ICE. The reason? He had a disagreement with his manager. Manager called ICE. ICE picked him up in front of the entire undocumented staff, as a fucking warning.

The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

I am devastated to post the great Jill Sobule perished in a fire this morning. Jill was not only a genius songwriter but an incredible human being. KV and I co-wrote the Go-Go’s song “Daisy Chain" with her. I feel lucky that she was in my life and heartbroken that she has left us. #jillsobule

"Your health records will be on the block chain." "Everyone will live in the Metaverse." "All art will be NFTs." "Generative AI will replace the need for humans." We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

ICE illegally arrested Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi outside his citizenship appointment solely because of his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights. His release from detention on bail is a win for free speech.

It appears very likely that the Supreme Court will force Oklahoma to approve and fund a Catholic charter school that reserves the right to indoctrinate students in Catholicism, force them to attend mass, and discriminate against non-Catholics. The three liberals sound increasingly exasperated.

There is no flour in Gaza. People are desperate for food and clean drinking water. The latest siege being waged by Israel has led to more than 65K cases of acute malnutrition in children, and that's just what's been documented under impossible conditions. Aid is needed NOW.

The story of the American citizen child separated from her deported parents is shocking and appalling—and sadly not entirely uncommon. This happened to actress Diane Guerrero, who came home from school as a 14 year old to learn her entire family was detained and then deported.

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

The U.S. Senate and House voted for budgets that steal $880 billion from Medicaid—to give billionaires tax cuts. A friend is part of a group organizing against this. They are asking for calls to Congress. This link makes that easy: win.newmode.net/peoplesactio...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

When might we begin to see research results about the level of cognitive decline caused by COVID? I really think that this is a significant factor in so many things right now including politics. People are struggling to keep information straight and to make any sort of connections at all.
