This every minute of every day….
You're 100% correct. Them telling people to peacefully protest from their Ivory Towers as they cheered Biden's Genocide in Palestine is mind blowing. They are NEVER threatened. They also never achieve anything. They pat each other on the back for words and prop up Zionist killers.

@forevernever.bsky.social Israeli quadcopter drones surrounded the Madleen flotilla, sprayed a white substance, then speedboats circled and boarded and kidnapped the activists.

"Most of the victims were children"
"Israeli soldiers opened fire on Tuesday morning near crowds of Palestinians walking toward a . food distribution site in southern Gaza, the Israeli military said."

"Dr. al-Farra said . most of the victims were children [aged 10-13] many with gunshot wounds to the head or chest."

Shut up about genocide, it's a losing issue. Shut up about trans rights, it's a losing issue. Shut up about free healthcare, it's a losing issue. Shut up about immigration & deportations, it's a losing issue. Shut up about defunding the police, it's a losing issue. Shut up or get the more evil guys.

Took a break from Bluesky because it’s shitlib central and just peeked back in and yep… just BlueMAGA craziness.

TL;DR he still is pro-genocide. You know who doesn’t allow replies? Cowards on the wrong side of history.
For those who need to know.. let me fill in the blanks

A Palestinian ambulance worker: "I was sent to a place where the Israelis targeted a lady and her baby... the scenes and horrors of the war are always on my mind, to the extent that when I play with my son I remember all the injured children and dead ones I've recovered"

Better a genocide abroad than hardship at home, eh?

I have a somewhat naive question. What would have happened had King Abdullah gotten up and just walked out while Trump was spewing his vile remarks about the authority to just take Gaza? I know answers will include diplomatic norms, aid package at risk… But the message “we won’t roll over” matters.

Update: 15 confirmed cases. Health officials are racing to offer vaccines to unvaccinated children, they're operating a mobile unit to screen for cases, pre-treating exposed infants. Schools & hospitals are on alert.

Measles outbreaks are v hard to contain. A totally preventable situation.
🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected.

This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government.

My latest:

Measles Outbreak Mounts Among Children in One of Texas’ Least Vaccinated Counties - KFF Health News
With hospitalizations and at least a dozen cases, health officials race to contain a growing outbreak in a community with low vaccination.

"Trump may threaten to cut aid, but South Africa’s land policies are not up for foreign negotiation. The country’s hard-won sovereignty cannot be dictated by a US president whose track record on racial justice is abysmal."

Trump’s fear mongering on South Africa’s land reform exposes his hypocrisy
Trump suggests land justice in South Africa is a threat, but many US land seizures are all necessary and just.

I’m no Hillary Clinton fan but how was she made to sit and testify for HOURS about using her own private email server while SOS, and we have Elon and his band of diaper thugs rifling through national security shit and the redneck village idiots are OK with it? Oh. Cause it’s Trump.

So … checks notes… when they were protesting the genocide y’all either were silent or called them bad actors. Kamala and Joe did nothing to protect them. They let pro Israelis & cops arrest & beat them. But protesting deportations is good, right? I mean *I* think it is, but we need some consistency.
LA STUDENT WALK OUT -
RIGHT NOW: high school students have walked out of class and gathered in front of LA city hall for the fourth straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests.

Solidarity with the youth! 🫡 Fuck ICE!

Unpopular opinion: USAID is the “social services” arm of the CIA, for lack of a better description & its goal is to protect US interests abroad at all cost, even at the expense of the people they’re supposed to be helping, even if it means supporting/encouraging a regime change/coup. Look. it. Up.

Haaretz—Israel's oldest newspaper—is reporting that the Israeli military is preventing entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, in direct violation of the cease-fire deal.

Where is the condemnation of this breach & demand for compliance? Or do we have to wait for H to respond for it to be a breach?
