If I could become anything, I would be torn between a unicorn and a dragon. A unicorn can heal, purify and run faster than anything that exists. A dragon is massive, mighty rage, with teeth, claws and flames.

Hm.

Rawr.

I wanted to boost the accounts of the three families from Gaza I have been focusing on posting - here is a thread of what is going on with them.

They are all doing really badly and there is just no food.

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all Latiné people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

You’ve been kidnapped (why, seriously, why?) and a character from the last show you watched is trying to rescue you — who is coning to save you?

Have a fledglings out-of-nest-too-soon situation and would appreciate any advice. We think they might be kestrels, and there are two small, dead rodents by them so I assume parents are bringing food. We have coyotes. Should I move them to higher ground in that shed? There’s a feeder.

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.

You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here:

docs.google.com/document/d/1...
[CLICK here if you would like your name added to this letter] النسخة العربية من هذه الرسالة متاحة أدناه. Open Letter to the Bluesky Team About Their Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza The signatories of this letter are all members of the Bluesky community, many of us have actively participated on the platform since its inception. We came to Bluesky because it was a breath of fresh air, a place that felt different from many of the other social media platforms. The lack of a central algorithm, the ability to build and use custom feeds, and the lack of penalty for link promotion contributed to an environment that allowed diverse and interesting voices to find their footing and community on Bluesky. While some of the signatories of this letter have had no issues with speaking their mind publicly on Bluesky, unfortunately that is not true for all the signatories because many are Palestinians currently living in Gaza. These Palestinians are journalists, artists, engineers, teachers, grandmas, entrepreneurs, a man who owned an ice cream shop, a pediatrician who has been featured on CBS Morning News, aid workers, architects, waiters, pharmacists, students–and perhaps most essential to the backbone of Bluesky, posters. All of these people provide unique and interesting voices to the Bluesky community. However, unlike the other signatories of this letter, these Bluesky community members have struggled to keep their accounts on the platform. Most of them have lost multiple accounts and/or have had their accounts labeled as spam. Some cannot even make an account without it immediately being removed from the platform. Gazans undertake immense efforts to simply be on Bluesky. Sometimes, they walk for miles just to have access to the internet. They scale rooftops where they are exposed to potential military attacks just for the opportunity to get better cell signals–one signatory of this letter tragically lost her brother this way. They use what little money they have to pay … Gazans have also been aggressively targeted and unfairly reported by bad actors. Many accounts openly encourage the reporting and targeting of any Palestinian. Several groups exist for the express purpose of looking for Palestinian accounts to report. We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes: Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language. Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future. Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification. Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic. Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision. In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or … End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community. We understand that even if all these changes are made, many Gazans may still violate Bluesky rules in the future, but we hope that Bluesky will abandon their punitive approach to these violations and instead embrace an attitude of education, cooperation and community care– one that works to ensure people in Gaza can participate in a way that keeps their voices heard. We also call on the Bluesky community to help and support these accounts however they can. We want to continue to build a healthy community with better community members and this cannot be done if Gazans continue to be shunned. We can use this as an opportunity to show how to protect all vulnerable groups in the future. We hope that Bluesky does not follow the path of other social media platforms and instead forges ahead with a different philosophy. After all, that is the reason so many of its users are there. Bluesky's ethos of "No Caesars” should apply to all members of its community. [To add your name to the list of signatories, click here.]

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, a time to honor the lives lost & demand justice for the disproportionate violence Indigenous women face. It’s a day marked by red dresses, ceremonies, & calls for accountability, visibility, & change.

If you are wondering “which post is real” they both are. These are two different women attacked by a mob of pro-Israel Jewish-Zionist men in the middle of New York City.
A pro-Israel mob of Jewish-Zionist men in the US assaulted and attacked a young Jewish woman for standing against Israeli war crimes and its genocide operation in Gaza. A pro-Israel mob of Jewish-Zionist men in the US chased and assaulted a random woman through the streets on New York after mistaking her for an anti-genocide protestor, luckily police intervened before they could lynch her.

Got curious about parallels between the profound weirdness of “day to day life” in Nazi Germany and now the U.S.

It is not reassuring.
www.historyextra.com/period/secon...
Q: Did most German citizens fear the Nazis or simply acquiesce? A: I think the answer is both, really, it depends who you were. The Nazis kept a very close eye on former activists for the socialists and communists. They had what were called block wardens; in every city, every town, every street block was looked after by an active Nazi. And in working-class areas with high degrees of support for the communists and socialists, the Nazis put in middle-class or lower-middle-class Nazi party members who had no love for the socialists and made sure that if there was any resistance movement - secret meetings in flats and so on - they would be found out and punished. People had to put up their flags on Hitler's birthday. There was a lot of coercion. The numbers of people imprisoned shot up in the Nazi period. I've talked about the concentration camps. There was a lot of fear. But at the same time, there was a lot of acquiescence. Most people wanted a quiet life. They wanted to get on with their jobs and their lives, raise their families. There was a certain retreat into private life under the Nazis, because to take part in public life, you had to be an active Nazi and do all wanted to get on with their jobs and their lives, raise their families. There was a certain retreat into private life under the Nazis, because to take part in public life, you had to be an active Nazi and do all sorts of things that many people really didn't want to do. By 1939, there was a kind of tacit agreement that people wouldn't object to the Nazis or oppose them (apart from very some very small resistance groups), and in turn the Nazis wouldn't make too many demands on them either. This agreement changed during the war, because one of the main objects of Nazism was to make the Germans love war, and the great majority of Germans didn't. They had been through the First World War and had seen the death and destruction; they didn't want that repeated. Nazi foreign policy up to 1939 was very successful not least because it made Germany great again, as it were, without very much bloodshed. The great foreign policy triumphs, such as the remilitarisation of the Rhineland and the annexation of Austria, the Anschluss, the annexation and destruction of Czechoslovakia, the victories over Poland and then France and western European countries, were all achieved very quickly at a minimal cost in lives and made the Nazis incredibly popular. European countries, were all achieved very quickly at a minimal cost in lives and made the Nazis incredibly popular. 6 There was a kind of tacit agreement that people wouldn't object to the Nazis or oppose them Probably 1940 is the height of the Nazis' popularity. But after that, as the war became more destructive and claimed more lives, people began to lose faith in the Nazis. How German people reacted to the Nazis is a complicated picture. They, I think, appreciated them for restoring the economy, though a lot of that was done by statistical manipulation and trickery. But ironically, there was popular appreciation of the Nazis' restoration of law and order, even though in the late years of Weimar Republic, a lot of the disruption on the streets had been caused by the Nazis. Most people didn't like their attacks on religion, particularly Catholics did not at all like the Nazis' attempts to curb the Catholic Church and bring it under Nazi control. They didn't particularly like the Nazi education system, and a number of aspects of the regime were also unpopular. It was a very mixed picture.
