At the @techforpalestine.org Bay Area Summit last week where I was part of this amazing group of volunteers, I learned about @upscrolled.bsky.social.

A social media platform that won't shadowban, for free speech, & for the people? Let's go!

I can't wait to connect with you all there, Insha'Allah.
Oh my sweet Catherine 💔 I'm heartbroken by this news. Whatever work she was in always brought a smile to my face. Her presence will be sorely missed.

May she rest in God's peace, amen 🤲🏼

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.
