A nana disgusted by war & living in a corporate state. Billionaires have decided to end our managed democracy by employing our mad King. We must build a different system. Liberate Gaza 🇵🇸 Free Palestine. You can not defeat fascism by supporting genocide.

Horns, plus cross as tbullet point besides “faith.” This straight-up fascist antisemitism. It’s been noted this won’t get 1/10 attention as non-antisemitic statements by Mamdani. That’s part Islamophobia, & part media market. Very few who aren’t from there or very online know what state this is.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
In Nov. 2024, the Chinese govt arrested Dr. Youlin Chen, an American citizen & scientist, on bogus claims of espionage. Dr. Chen has spent nearly 2 years in pretrial detention & his family is concerned for his health. I call on the Chinese govt to release Dr. Chen immediately & unconditionally.
U.S. seismologist has been detained in China for nearly 2 years with no trial, his family says
The relatives of Youlin Chen of Boston broke their silence this week, apparently after they saw no sign from the Chinese government that it was planning to release him.

But wait! you say. How is that a journalistic assessment? It is. Trump is 80 now—and there's *no record* of him creating value for anyone outside his family or succeeding at any endeavor. His life is an unbroken string of bad acts and failures whose victims were everyone else.
The garbage, utterly f*cked up White House we have because of our garbage, utterly f*cked up president And you're paying for every cent of this nonsensical vanity-project slop White House reporters say Trump spends 70% of his mental energy focusing on this sh*t rather than you

Really good piece. "You used to be able to be poor in a city and still live in it." A city dies when its working people cannot afford living there.
Eoghan Sweeney@eoghan.eurosky.social · 3d agoSuperb piece on the death of Dublin, killed by greed. It's not immigrants who wielded the blade; it's our own, developers and property owners obsessed with squeezing every penny of profit out of the city, on the backs of stressed, overworked people they've priced out of living in it #spéirġorm

Meta tried to build a 200-megawatt data centre on farmland in Zeewolde. Twice the electricity of the entire town. 20 rebels occupied the council. "We want Greta, not Meta." They won, and then the Dutch banned hyperscale centres over 70MW. Direct action works! wagingnonviolence.org/2026/07/the-...

As local communities around the world unite around a shared enemy — AI data centers — a powerful new direction for climate action is emerging.

Demonstrators gathered on Reforma Avenue in Mexico City on Saturday to demand that the Mexican government cut relations with Israel. The protest was held against a water management agreement between Mexico’s Chihuahua state and the Israeli agency MASHAV.
Good reminder that often times change happens in lighting fast spurts when people “can’t go on living like this anymore.”

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Just think of how sick, twisted and demented you have to be to post this as president knowing it is all a lie because you don’t want to admit you hired an unqualified pool guy - the act of typing this knowing that every word is false.
