That said I can’t help but feel kind of disgusted that the media and wider urgency goes down when white people are no longer being victimized as openly.

Brown people dying in concentration camps just doesn’t do the trick, I guess.

Palestine cannot be saved by stanning the right Celebrities Support my Writing with a Tip Stan culture is a very specific description of behavior that blends parasocial following of notable influencers, artists, actors, musicians, or athletes. Over Twitter, I...

Good morning. I wrote about the rather troubling trends of using stan language to call shit "spiritually Israeli" and link several great resources and charities to help Palestine the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/palestine-ca...

gato fumador • @KweenInYellow X.com "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." Saying stuff like this out loud should be disqualifying. AIPAC

Mel Y @Villgecrazylady X.com "There's no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it's our [Jews] land. And that's why America must always stand with Israel." Wow. He just came right out and said it. AIPAC AIPAC

The post on Bluesky

Also, I want to explain how this happens:

1. Someone posts the video on Twitter last month.
2. Someone shares that video on Twitter with a new/fake quote yesterday
3. Someone copies the Twitter post word for word and shares it on Bluesky

*sigh*

1. That's not a direct quote. If you're going to put something in quotation marks and then go, "Wow. He just came right out and said it," it should be a direct quote.

2. This speech is from 2018. Don't present it as new/recent.

3. The actual content of the speech is bad enough.

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Nothing good is going to come out of this reframing of the political spectrum.

Nothing will kill a work of art faster than trying to be "responsive" to fans -- or just listening to them at all. It killed Star Wars, it killed Ted Lasso, it killed Game of Thrones, I personally think it killed Hacks. Don't listen to fans.

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

This is a massive environmental disaster and it doesn’t get nearly enough attention or resources as it should, it shouldn’t take the best scientist in the space to point out how dangerous this is to tens of thousands of people, if not more.

'I hate cheap romanticization of our prisoners. Carrying their names but not their calls for unity, for action. The reality is they are systematically brutalized, tortured, raped, made to feel insignificant.'

The real clown element in this is

China has adamantly refused to boycott Israel in any meaningful way and has continued to trade surveillance technology

With what respect is due here: Black Americans, who are the originators of our dialect, neither expect nor wish for non Black Americans to use our vernacular. Other people have been stealing and mimicking it for way longer than the internet's even existed.

Congress’ move to allow mining in a national forest near a wilderness area may have broad ramifications across the country.

The U.S. Senate voted to overturn a mining ban in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest, the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

i would really like people to get over the idea that comedy is particularly dangerous to authoritarians. if it was we wouldn't be here.

It's a nice thought, but the evidence ain't there.

2/3rds of the military is this exact person and would describe at least 10 people in my last platoon alone.

this is really cool.

Reminder that You are not a different species of person by posting on Bluesky rather than Twitter and you have the capacity to also be an awful bigot.

every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades

Why is his organization deny Trans people necessary medical care?

"unlimited cheap beef" is unreasonable, unsustainable, and frankly evil but also i think one of the unspoken core tenets of 20th century american prosperity

This continued crackdown on kinky art based entirely on "If this were physically possible and the creator were actually doing it for real it'd be fucked up" is so ridiculously juvenile. It protects no one, solves nothing, and stifles art, but because few people want to defend kink, it continues.

I've noticed self-described diaspora "Liberal Zionists" (on the left end of that spectrum) are far likely to host non-Zionist Israelis (Jews, but even Palestinian citizens) and engage with them, compared with self-described "anti-Zionists" who employ stringent purity test and avoid Israelis.

With the heaviest of hearts, today we mourn the passing of Sudanese writer, thinker, and advocate Muzan Alneel. Muzan, who served in our 2021-2022 nonresident fellow cohort, leaves behind an incredible legacy of policy ideas and impact that consistently centered the Sudanese people.

Thank you to It Could Happen Here and @miawong.bsky.social for talking to TNN's @davidforbes.bsky.social about this important issue.

The Catholic Church's horrific trans healthcare ban threatens trans people around the country. It's an injustice that needs *a lot* more attention.

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.
