They were not in Hamas captivity — they we held by Mujahideen Brigade, which shows the lack of any effort to be accurate here — and it was announced 15 months ago they were killed in an Israeli air strike.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

How am I fighting Trump? By giving him every single thing he wants every time and asking people not to yell at me

i find the slogan “go birds” to be needlessly reductive. how can one team claim the mantle of all birds, while there are teams in all different sports that are represented by birds? this should be addressed

Watching the living embodiment of Death undergo a job interview to become the leader of the Department of Health has broken something in me that I am absolutely certain I will never get back.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

Wow, this Elon Musk sounds like a cool, skillful and helpful guy! What are we even doing here?

the democrats lost because they hid biden was going senile, didn't do a primary, delayed kicking him out while doing a bunch of embarrassing infighting, promoted an unpopular candidate, & had her run as a conservative palling around with the fucking cheneys. they fucked it all by themselves

Yet you're allowed to say trans and gay people have mental illness now because free speech is freedom to attack minorities but not to publish anything leaked about billionaires

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax” No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

Back on TV trying to explain to the media why for profit healthcare is bad

I want a girl with a short skirt and long covid

Deeply insane to say that it mostly comes from "non journalists" because A.) Most people aren't journalists B.) Plenty of journalists very much have said something, but I guess the moment you treat trans people as equals you are suddenly an "activist"

all sorts of organizations, including but not limited to federal agencies, are going to face this tactic in the coming years. it's increasingly common as a mode of political engagement on the right

Okay, what’s good? Is this actually going to be the Twitter replacement now?

It’s great to be here on Bluesky where there will never be any problems or worries.

Some basic facts about trans women: - Our healthcare is older than heart surgery - We have a demonstrated *disadvantage* in sports - We are one of the most economically disenfranchised groups in the US - 1 in 5 have been incarcerated at some point - "debate" about the first two causes the last two

It's interesting that TikTok is the ONLY social platform where news influencers don't skew overwhelmingly conservative, and TikTok has the highest number of LGBTQ news influencers, and it's the only app getting banned www.usermag.co/p/the-majori...

He wants a pardon so bad

fantastic developments in the field of making Trump miserable

So what I’m hearing is… buy the dip… right? 🧐

I thought we had something 💔

i think that people would have a different view on a lot of things if you think about money as being "survival points" its pretty evil to horde survival points when people don't have enough. and its pretty sill to hog them too because they really cap out in terms of the benefit to you personally

The most important takeaway from the RNC primary debate last night: Trump is just a symptom of the disease. The disease is fascism, and it's roots are fully entrenched in the republican party.

twitter users stone age in 2023 hunter-gatherers 🤝 mastodon attempt failed, turned to sky worship for sustenance

so when do we think bluesky is opening the floodgates? do we think they will at all?

It's funny that if Bluesky ever does take off, Jack Dorsey will go down as the undisputed king of microblogging platforms and he will have absolutely no idea what makes any of this good or why anyone uses this. It'd be like if the inventor of the dishwasher was a dalmatian.

Income Driven Repayment plans—as a concept—are broken. So is PSLF. All student debt is illegitimate. It should all be canceled. People cannot afford housing, health care and basic necessities. There is no “plan” that works for student debtors except full cancellation.

Wow. Sounds like the workers are in an extremely powerful position and the bosses should give them everything they want.

Boss is pacing around talking about how Gen Z isn’t interested in folklore at all. He keeps mumbling that it’s not my “fault” however it is my “problem.” I don’t really have the heart to tell him he’s the one who shelved our folkloric TikTok account over concerns about CCP influence.

this is like my own personal 9/11

before you get mad at clarence thomas maybe consider if you, too, would take bribes at your job if it were impossible to get in trouble

lol we are talking about if jokes are funny or not
