if you’re not jewish, try to imagine if a group of Salafists were constantly being boosted like they were paragons of progressive Islam on the basis of their opposition to Israel.

Or if Nick Fuentes’s style of Catholicism was constantly treated upheld as left-wing Christianity on the same basis.
begging people to stop boosting neturei karta!!

it's REALLY easy to address the fact that mamdani is Very Clearly not an antisemite without tokenizing the people from The Only Jewish Organization That Denies The Holocaust!!
CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

This is it. "What do you think calling your electeds will do?"

Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.
Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

This whole platform is experiencing acute stress, to one degree or another, due to the world events we are all witnessing

It is incredibly difficult to navigate mini blogs from strangers during high emotion episodes, when we feel threatened, as I think that we all do nowadays

easy to misunderstand
Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.

Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

damn who could have imagined that a commander-in-chief unilaterally using military force against another sovereign state with no consequences could have gone this way
Looks like they have made up their mind about Greenland. "Trump renews push to annex Greenland after Venezuela strike

Not being homeless during the rise of imperialism and fascism would be cool!

Idk being displaced and completely alone without life’s basic necessities while the country succumbs to fallout feels like being pinned against a tree while the forest burns.
From the bottom of my heart, I’d appreciate some support with this goal. Significant support with it would blow me away. 🤯 Please help us get rehoused ASAP. This is so important. Lacking housing is catastrophic.

This video, viewed over 600,000 times, claims to show US troops landing in Caracas to capture Maduro.

The video is from June 2025, showing US Special Forces preparing for the army's 250th anniversary parade.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.

In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

Anyone know of accounts or even starter packs for cozy and/or RPG gamers? I’d love to follow more folks who post about those things!

(Ps, feel free to self-promo if you’re in one or both of those categories!)

NYT is reporting at least 80 Venezuelan’s dead after this American attack. No breakdown on how many were civilians.

That’s in addition to the 115 people the US military has recently killed in boats.

40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.
