People calling Silent Hill f “woke” should maybe put down the culture-war glasses and pick up Dazai’s Schoolgirl. Japanese literature has been exploring the horror of enforced girlhood for nearly a century. 🥴

The same PA that hasn’t had an election since the iPhone 1, collaborates with Israel, and isn’t allowed to set foot in Gaza without an armored escort.

Yeah, THEY welcomed the U.S.-drafted plan that puts Gaza under an international security force and World Bank oversight.

Palestinians didn’t.
Palestine welcomed on Tuesday the UN Security Council’s adoption on Monday of a US-drafted resolution authorizing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force in the Gaza Strip.

Lately I’ve been weighed down by the reality that I don’t know how long my mom has left. Her one kidney means she can’t take the treatments that would help her rheumatoid arthritis, so even standing or walking hurts her.

Mohammed, a 16-year-old American, has been held by Israel for 8+ months with no trial or family contact. His hearing is Nov 9, this week is crucial.

Act now: share, call reps, attend vigils, write letters.

It’s a good idea to look over your Bluesky moderation settings ASAP.

The platform is employing a form of soft censorship to keep us from communicating with one another, specifically posts that could be problematic for the powers that be.
Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

One conservative activist, Campus Reform’s editor-in-chief Zachary Marschall, is responsible for 33 complaints that produced 16 federal investigations.

Tell me why this man has a higher caseload than half the OCR staff. Is this his full-time job?? 🥴

Zohran’s zinger game makes perfect sense when you remember he trained in the harshest arena known to humanity: arguing with brown parents.

My favorite part about reading one Debra Messing crashout after another is how it's given a new, fun angle to her otherwise stupid avatar.

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.

“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

New video! The conservative reaction to Zohran Mamdani's has been insanely racist. I talk about that, the Liberal Zionist reaction and even discussing the leftist 'overreaction' and discuss how important this victory is for the left in the grand scheme of things

I've actually been following her videos as she goes along, and I get the impression her audience is Western people who hold ridiculous stereotypes and she is trying to gently introduce them to the fact that people are people everywhere. Been sending them to yt friends tbh

Mayor Mamdani is going to be hit with relentless attacks and propaganda. It’s more vital than ever to have a viable left independent media apparatus.
