Anyone else feel guilty when they feel any sort of joy? I know that we can’t be miserable all the time, but as an empath, I can’t help but feel guilty anytime I feel any sort of joy. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Memorial Day has never been about your freedoms. It has always been about imperial expansion. Your loved ones gave their lives so that the US and its allies could continue to expand their accumulation of capital through the extraction of resources in the Global South.

The US is ceding global leadership to China.

For the past month or so, I've been making linguistics content on TikTok. Language is my special interest and its what I know the most about. I'm not trying to get famous or to make money or anything, I just enjoy talking about languagel

I just saw Trump’s fatphobic tirade. 😑

For my fellow socialists, if you haven’t listened to @upstreampodcast.bsky.social series on China, what are you waiting for? It’s worth the $5.

I don't know who Ms. Rachel is, but she's on the right side of history.

If you hate having your mentions full of Palestinians begging for money to survive a famine, maybe do something or say something about this intentional and weaponized famine inflicted on them with your country's help or permission? Just a thought.

This is terrible. The amount of time and money it will take to even get any sort of justice for this injustice shows just how broken the system is.

Pay close attention to how Western media talks about Ibrahim Traoré. blackwestchester.com/when-defende...

There's a marked trend in the Trump admin to claim to "research" major issues on an extremely compressed timeframe. The biggest example is RFK Jr. proposing to determine the cause of autism with a strict deadline. Now Rubio is giving himself a couple days to decide if the Ukraine war is winnable.

When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified. But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*. They love it.

Sad day to be a Buckeye (both specifically and generically). Mike DeWine signed a bill to take away academic freedom (and free speech? I'm sure it will be challenged). If it goes into effect, two of my three degrees will have been devalued. Also, the Buckeyes actually went to the White House 🤮

Canary Mission first then Bluesky block lists next. As someone who appears on Canary Mission and on multiple pro-Palestine aka “pro-H@m@s” blocklists on bsky, I fully expect my right as a US citizen to be violated in the near future.

We are in a constitutional crisis. This will not end well for anyone, unfortunately. We are all going to suffer.

Anyone else coming across these bizarre AI-generated videos showing fat white Americans struggling to do factory work and other jobs that are considered low-skilled (e.g. manufacturing, farming, sewing)? They are fatphobic AF! Also it’s elitist and just gross. Stop sharing them!

What? American Citizens can’t be deported. Also, this is definitely not legal, but they don’t really care about that. We know whose bodies our justice system has criminalized. Perceived violent criminals today, perceived terrorist sympathizers tomorrow.

Just saw a video of two cis white gay men at their “gender reveal” party. Like read the fucking room. Our trans and enby siblings are being stripped of their dignity and lives. The least you could do in solidarity is learn what the fuck gender actually is, and that’s the bare minimum!!!

My GenX boss: don't look at your retirement fund today now that the stock market is down $2 Trillion. Me (a millennial): What's retirement?

This is absolutely disgusting.

This is the best explanation of the meaning of the word “Indigenous” that I’ve read so far.

Is anyone tracking the deaths that can be tied to policy changes by the current US administration? I can’t stop thinking about how many will die due to things like Medicaid & social security being taken away; Trans suicide; not to mention RFK Jr.

I’m at the animal ER because my roommate’s gluttonous Iggy found and ate two 3oz dark chocolate bars while I was napping. My roommate’s out of town. 😔

The United States committed a war crime in their attack on the Houthis. Nothing will happen. The Hague won’t come for Hegseth or Vance, but we can bear witness and make sure that people don’t forget.
