Are there repro rights advocates here? Would love to get some thoughts on the post roe v wade overturning. Drafted a decriminalisation (of abortion) petition recently which differed quite a bit from the US case. Would love to gather some insights. Please dm if you’re working in the sphere
My heart goes out to all the indigenous folks, trans and queer persons in the US. I cannot imagine what you’re going through. All I can hope for is that your resilience keeps you safe, your solidarity within the community keeps you afloat amidst these trying times! More power to you!

TRUMP JUST SAID THE US WILL TAKE OVER GAZA?! HOW IS THERE so little to NO OUTRAGE AT ALL?

To all celebrating Israel’s acts of aggression, simple question: how is the expansion of the Golan Heights colonial settler project an act of self defence?

Had a really hard past month. Gosh, so much transphobia for a country that claims to have trans people in its culture. It’s fetishistic at best :/

Hi #booksky, is Kobo Libra colour a worthwhile investment? I don’t support any Amazon products or services. If not, any other alternatives you’d suggest?

I’m based in India, so the options are anyway limited. Might be in EU next month, so I can consider buying a device there too.

Are you giving away free books or reducing the cost to make them affordable?
Who here likes books?

They can't erase us any more than they can raise the dead.

The warrant is classified as of now. But the charges levied against the two currently are of crimes against humanity and war crimes (from ICC statement). Legally, they’ve not been charged under the article 6 (Rome statute) governing genocide. So it’s not likely, it’s pretty much sure.
November 21, 2024 at 3:26 PM
Some observations that are necessary.
Even if successfully prosecuted, the terminology used would still be “war” and not genocide. I feel that it would still only be partial accountability at best.
November 21, 2024 at 3:27 PM
!!! Important !!!
Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

Exactly. Demand accountability from everyone involved and not just the two.

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.

To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:

We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.

I am tired of having to tell my close friends that I’m not feeling well because the moment I do, I have to start consoling them and help them cope with the fact that I’m not doing well. It makes things much worse honestly.
November 21, 2024 at 1:23 PM
Pretty sure there’s going to be a public condemnation and withdrawal of funding by the US bloc
November 21, 2024 at 1:18 PM
The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. High time! Israel has shamelessly and unabashedly continued to engage in acts which constitute a blatant violation of the International law - not just treaties - jus cogens too. Starvation, torture and deliberate civilian killings.

The one way in which Zionists operate exactly like Hindutva is that they create these high eyeball distractions (like the “Amsterdam pogrom”) and everyone is forced to take time energy and resources away from covering conflict to rebut it and then they just move on.

This is hands down one of the best piers Morgan clips (the panel about trump visiting UK).

The “Jesus” at the end really gets me.

And here I was, just starting to like this app :/
If BlueSky has already been bought by Zionists then this platform is already useless

Criticism of Israel and demands for accountability are not ‘intolerance’ and BlueSky must explain this madness or risk destroying its burgeoning credibility

Another poem I found. Love how it slightly deviates from the predominant sonnet structure of the time - all to convey some disarray, some incongruity in the heart.

Booksky has really brought out the literature enthusiast in me :/
