”we have condemned 228 men to die in a foreign prison without charge or trial” is a fact that I cannot shake from my mind. It just keeps reasserting itself. God have mercy bc this is just the beginning.

I’m here you fuckaas bitch

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

“I asked ChatGPT and—” ok, i’m going to stop you right there and save us both some time

Booting up bsky after being away on vacation and I feel like I’ve missed at least five memes and their reasoning

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Bernie Wagenblast, the iconic voice of @mta.info subways, has a message, the day after the feds took the letter "T" referring to trans people, off websites about the Stonewall National Monument. @thecity.bsky.social

If you want to participate in the June 24 Democratic primary—you know, the one where you get to rank your choices for mayor—you must change your party affiliation ASAP if you're not a registered Democrat.

The dumbest fucking timeline

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

So is Beyoncé gonna change the lyric to “AOTY I just won” on the Cowboy Carter tour?

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Hi I feel like a boomer asking this, but my autocorrect has consistently removed the apostrophe in “we’re” whenever I type it this week and it’s driving me bonkers, how the fuck do I get it to stop doing that 🙇🏻‍♀️

🤌

I will always bring this one back

democrats: oh my goodness. can he DO that? democrats: (continue to let him do that) democrats: he just DID that. give us $100

hi, white people expert here! this is not funny, white people only do this when they’re in extreme comfort.

The vibes are absolutely rancid today

i’m gonna be less nice on this point and say that if you are spending your time on here dunking and infighting and bitching instead of organizing in the coming years, you are a hazard to yourself and others. get the emotional support you need from friends & community, and commit to doing the work.

This is a beautiful tribute.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN LOS ANGELES: If you’re looking to get involved with volunteer efforts in LA, please check out this list provided by Mutual Aid LA:

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season. These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels. We are in a climate emergency.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I knew Bluesky wouldn’t disappoint today 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

lol

Saw this meme on Raccoon Village on IG and this is called being an Anarcho-Comtéist
