The Prime Minister is lying to your face about selling weapons for Israel’s genocide - The Shot The hairs Albanese is splitting are on the heads of murdered Palestinians. Australia is contributing to Israel's genocide of Palestine.

Thank you @davemilbo.bsky.social for saying the awful truth that “Australian weapons components become weapons that turn Palestinian children into the components of Palestinian children”

sure seems like this is a social media platform with a content moderation policy the minute they’re faced with someone who isn’t on here to try to get children to kill themselves

LRT the single biggest factor in my not making more use of bluesky is the people whose perspectives i value being repeatedly thrown off this platform. is this really the best we can do? leaving the nazi bar to start a second, live laugh love nazi bar?

We can and should laugh about this but it's also been a pretty standard imperial move after drawing or losing a military showdown for about 3,000 years. Xerxes could call his invasion of Greece in 480-479 BC a success because he burned Athens.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident.

Dumped minister accuses Richard Marles of being a 'factional assassin' Dumped cabinet minister Ed Husic says his decision to speak out on the conflict in Gaza was partly to blame for him being dropped from the frontbench, while also lashing Deputy Prime Minister Richard ...

Standing up to genocide and war criminals isn’t tolerated in @albomp.bsky.social’s government.

Say what you want about Albo, but doing SFA about the atrocities in Gaza should never ever be forgiven nor forgotten.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist. Shireen was killed by an Israeli sniper on 11 May 2022 for the crime of exposing the brutality of the Israeli government in the Jenin Refugee Camp.

it’s just wild bc he’s a pedo-sheltering, queer-hating catholic american. as a candidate for pope, he represents an almost suicidal cowardice on the part of the church. but he’s got like, chuck schumer’s political backbone and even that’s too much liberalism for the whinging fucking yanks.

If this is the lesson the greens take from the election then the party is doomed

the reason why these people believe in “the woke mind virus” and think of others as “NPCs” is because they have literally fried their brains in private group chats with people who share the same half dozen opinions

In Yemen, we comfort ourselves, thinking: It is not as bad as Gaza As US strikes are sowing death across Yemen, the world is once again ignoring our suffering.

We joke about Hegseth's signal chats, but the impact of his trite messages is horrific.

"as I began to write these lines, funerals were held for 80 people who were killed by a bombardment of the Ras Isa port ... Most of them returned to their families as charred bodies. Some did not return at all."

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza. Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Rafah no longer exists.

Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors.
This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing.

The US government going after companies that manufacture HRT is a line that sensible, reasonable people repeatedly assured me Trump wouldn't cross.

He crossed it.

Ah well, nevertheless,

RFK Jr. likely wants to do what his family did to Rosemary on a national scale. He wants to make it legal/standardized for "parents' rights activists" and quack doctors to torture autistic people with "treatments" and send them to "wellness camps."

rfk’s ‘autism destroys our children’ and elon’s ‘my son is dead’ are two sides of the same coin, if they’re not just the same side twice

stop trying to find alternatives to harry potter that are going to just be a lite version of something you loved because you associated it with a specific time in your life and start finding things that appeal to you in your adulthood. stop trying to replace nostalgia with a stand in

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

It is startling how easily white liberals fall into proposing eugenics stuff without even noticing it.

Until you realize that the really vocal eugenicists *need* that broad centrist support. They couldn't do anything without it.

there are no “deserving” prisoners. we have a moral responsibility to free *all* prisoners.

it would still be a crime against humanity to concentrate people into camps in (texas or) el salvador even if every single one of them *were* violent criminals.

Screenshot of a post from Secular Talk: “Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.”

I just don’t understand why Americans keep framing their arguments around the idea that any of this would be acceptable if Abrego Garcia, or anyone else being held hostage by ICE, *were* a “gang member” or a “terrorist”. why are people so willing to cede this ideological ground?

As with most aspects of transmedicalisation, the psychopathologisation of trans suicide as something characteristics of us rather than a product of our difficulties within a hostile social environment serves to mask the function of power and social coercion in killing trans youth.
