Hey! If you gave money and effort to the definitely-not-a-nazi blackwater guy maybe next time you're tempted to give money to a politician give it to mutual aid, a Palestinian, a Black trans person, anyone other than a politician, guaranteed to not be accidentally making a nazi rich!

ICE openly declared its intention to collectively punish the town of Broadview for 1) protests and 2) *statements criticizing them*!!!!!
ICE has escalated week after week. They have told the village of Broadview that tonight will be a "shitshow", terrorizing residents and using more force against protesters.
I would not be surprised if we see dramatic escalation from ICE tonight. 2/6

I am grateful to Ezra Klein for demonstrating over and over how liberals got us here. The constant appeal to the right by throwing away both principles and the most marginalized. Constantly coming around to an issue too late & only after you’ve helped destroy actual opposition. He’s a case study.

To defend ourselves from medical gaslighting and bad treatment by doctors, patients are told “don’t be afraid to speak up,” “stand up for yourself,” “advocate!”
Have you ever had to advocate for yourself in a medical appointment, only to be treated WORSE because of it?

I agree, and human intuition is fallible too, as we saw in this debacle. The moderation features are driven by human actions.

According to @moderation.bsky.app real Palestinians desperate to survive are committing the crime of “disrupting the user experience.” This is the type of dystopian shit we have come to expect from tech bros. Maybe they need to stop disrupting the Palestinians’ experience?
