the world is ending so you have to tell your Bluesky crush you like them before it's too late

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

YOU - What am I doing? SHIVERS - Looking up at the sky, cold water dripping from your hair. YOU - What do I see? SHIVERS - Grey sky like great battleships, clouds colliding with one another. Rain falls down on the world.

Palestinianism? Its amazing the degree to which dehumanization of Palestinians has become normalized. Palestinian is a national identity. Its not a hateful ideology or a disease. Using the term Palestinianism is undeniably a form of racism

Genuinely touching. This would also after Madleen and Samoud be the third recent attempt (as far I know, please add more if I missed some) to break the siege on Gaza. May it work.

Ok, this fucking rocks. Everyone should be able to use the bathroom when they're out and about.

What does a 2000 photo of Edward Said throwing a rock at the wall separating newly-liberated southern Lebanon and Israel have in common with the LA protests? A few thoughts on how 'violence' if framed. Article version (support if you can) www.hauntologies.net/p/framing-vi... 🧵 Below

De bevolking is duidelijk. Het internationaal recht is glashelder. En de regering weet wat ze moet doen ... maar doet het niet. Hoe lang nog voor de federale ministers werk maken van hun eigen Palestina-akkoord? Trek nu de rode lijn, met daden.

Trump making very clear that he intends his moves in Los Angeles to be the first in a series of efforts into big cities:

What could be more full of meaning?

i do find the liberal obsession with imagined audience fascinating. the only political goal they can imagine is "persuading" some unseen onlooker, and once they're persuaded... everything's fixed? which is why their big parades never have lists of demands or conditions for those in power to meet

To add to this, I, as an adult (with ADHD), have been pulled out of the way of cars by friends, family, coworkers, partners, etc. and none of those instances required said adults having “authority” over me. It’s like THE go-to example to justify dominion over children and it’s essentially gibberish.

Right-wing violence yesterday: 🔫2 dead in Minnesota. 🎯Mass shooting at march in Utah. 🚗Car attacks at 2 protests. 🚔Police violence at multiple rallies. Viral misinfo + conspiracies - more concerned about policing protests - spread about far-Right groups going "undercover" downplayed real threats.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

He's right!

According to Oxfam, nearly 150,000 people in the Netherlands called for the government to do more against the war.

After the assassination, murder, and attempted murder in Minnesota, the Dem governor — who was also reportedly also on the alleged killer’s hit list — urged his state’s people not to go out to the No King’s protest, fearing that the gunman would target them as well. People showed up in droves anyway

110.000 mensen kleuren Brussel rood. Tegen genocide. Tegen straffeloosheid. Tegen het zwijgen van onze politici, in België en Europa. 110.000 mensen trokken een rode lijn voor Gaza. Massaal. Niet te negeren. Nu moeten politici actie ondernemen.

There is a massive opportunity here but only if we can maintain and build momentum; we cannot let off the gas on this, not even a little

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Major points I learned from attending today's protest: 1. You are underestimating how much water people need 2. You can throw your voice out very quickly screaming at fascists 3. Have some zines or pamphlets to hand out for anyone who wants to learn more about anarchism

I’ll be going dark for a bit once I get into the city but despite everything, it can still be a #cutiesaturday #pinup

This is the really key part. You don't need your actions to blessed. You can go forth as simply a human in this world. It's not a mark against your name to navigate a compromised existence in a compromised world. Meanwhile, we still need to be able to talk about systems.
