Reading recommendation care of @ladimestore.bsky.social! Described as "A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803." on GoodReads.

Just heard a report that disproves every idiotic thing @whstancil.bsky.social has ever said about the economy being strong. Consumer spending is being propped up by the wealthiest Americans, the economy is a "top-heavy jenga tower" where the economy is quite bad for poor folks and only getting worse

…about $400 less than usual, my deposit just came through.

#MutualAidRequest! I did not get any pay for last week as I am out of PTO and Tgiving and the following Friday are not paid holidays for me. Any help is appreciated as I cannot pay bills with this lost income. :( Please share. Thank you!

Kind of like how the United States is racist and highly segregated (apartheid is Afrikaans for segregated), yet we had a black President.

Do you think people who call Israel an apartheid state don't have the same or similar critique of the US??

Why would anyone invent transphobia as a way of discrediting this dude? There are so many completely idiotic, technocratic opinions he actually holds to discredit him with.

Sorry for the tautology but- ethnic cleansing is wrong because ethnic cleanaing is wrong because it's wrong, because ethnic cleansing is wrong, be, cause ethnic, cleans, ing, is wrong.
Okay?

None of that is an excuse. Some
did some didn't. Some Europeans did. Some didn't. Some Africans did, some didn't And in every case ethnic cleansing was wrong you dumbfuck.

Oh. I see. We're dealing with a bad faith actor. Ok. well, they're going wherever they want to go, including staying in the US. And if you don't want to stay here on an equal basis, then that's on you. Leave. Go wherever they take you.

LOL... Well... NO

L. definite L

One in which the settlers are considered immigrants, and the legal relationship is one of equality based on respecting the Indigenous culture's way of life. Kind of like how you wouldn't move to Japan and then force them to be "American" or "Catholic"

I'm not saying you're a racist. I think you're sincere, but your intellectual laziness is tiresome.

"Tribal Sovereignty" is when Elbit systems surveils every square inch of your reservation. "Tribal sovereignty" is when Congress limits the market for your houses to 3300 people, meaning your inevitably under water on your house. Indigenous Americans couldn't run for president until 1924...

Is anyone seeing how this isn't a democracy??

That's why we've had so many Iroquois, Navajo, Lakota, Oholone, Tohono O'odham, Nez Perce, Ute, Tewa, Hopi, Pauite, Shoshone, Tongva and Cherokee presidents, and so many African presidents too.

It has to do with who is legally privileged and who isn't not the country only being composed of one ethnicity. In fact, multi-ethnicity is a core feature of an ethnostate. It has to do with who the "state" is conceived for. The United States is an ethnostate. And Sioux land is land, not a state.

I don't think you know what Ethnostate means.

European Jews' DNA originates in the Caucasus. Yemeni and Ethiopian Jews are deeply discriminated against in Israel. Palestinians are fully Semitic people.

pathetic country.

A photo of a large group of protesters gathering in downtown Chicago near Michigan Ave. Skyscrapers are behind the crowd in the background.

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

Hey @nytimes.com it's still not a war. It's a genocide.

👍 the pigs are in on it and there’s no plan to deal with this 👍

On this day in 1763, due in part to Pontiac's resistance, the King of Britain issued the Royal Proclamation placing certain limits on westward colonial expansion in North America. This enraged proto-Americans and was one of the causes of the American Revolution (freedom to colonize more quickly).

You shouldn't underestimate the government's intent on following thru on these operations. That's why lawyers saying things like "Trump can't do that! The law doesn't allow it!" is so dangerous.

Plenty of examples to pull from: 40s-50s red scare, COINTELPRO, cold war COIN, post 9/11 "anti-terror"

Reminder that "criminal" is a meaningless category.

Some of the best people I've ever known have been "criminals" and "felons."

Donald Trump is a shitheel because he's a lying white supremacist queerphobic ableist neo-confederate scumbag, not because he's a criminal.

Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.

Why am I not surprised this is the take for today??
