The World Bank has been making a ledger of destroyed buildings in Gaza, and I pulled them into a timeline map to get a sense for myself. There are 250,000+ buildings in the data; click anywhere to learn more than you want. Then make someone else angry. Gaza needs to be in the headlines every day.
Gaza Strip structures recorded damaged, 2023 to 2025
Every structure in the Gaza Strip that UNOSAT satellite analysis recorded as damaged or destroyed, at each of 14 assessments from 15 October 2023 to 11 October 2025, placed at its location.

Good morning my decentralized divas If you have a fuckin iPhone Go in settings -> accessibility -> audio visual -> live listen DEACTIVATE THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW
Currently being intrigued and confused by my first read of Harrow the Ninth 💀🗡️ #booksofbluesky #thelockedtomb
it's not that Dems and leftists need to be assholes, or dirtbags. It's that we have to end the bogus and self-defeating worship of civility. Uncivil people don't deserve civility. When someone advocates for politics of bigotry, cruelty and murder the proper response is to fuck them up.
From @frederickmelo.bsky.social:
The @runforsomething.net team is already deep into recruiting for 2027 races -- including the MS, LA, VA & NJ state leg races and municipal offices all across the country. As we saw last night: When we run, we can win.
ROSES ARE RED TEXAS IS BLUE GOD IS NONBINARY GREG ABBOTT FUCK YOUUUUUUU
We gotta bully the fuck out of these Democrats on behalf of trans kids and trans rights. It's literally our responsibility.
Hope everyone remembers the Mamdani Prime Directive: Do all the cool shit you can to make folks lives better immediately.
Same. My understanding is it will be fought in court, and with progressive judges it will be thrown out. It’s disgusting that it was taken this far, with this many votes, in the first place 😔
yeah it turns out if you keep shooting people in the street and kidnapping children and making it impossible to get food or healthcare or education and then gloat about it, everybody hates you
I want to take a moment to shout out all the people who will not win, but who will create surprisingly close races that will help build competitive politics in the future where people perhaps had started to give up on them. They, and their staffs and volunteers, do critical, critical work.
The absolute shellacking Republicans are taking makes the prior two years of capitulation by so many powerful people and organizations look even more pathetic
You can thank Southerners by no longer shitting on this region of the country. There is a legacy of radical organizing here that never stopped, and it goes far beyond election season.
oh hey there's a really big thread of animals eating on camera if that is something that can help you relax
I don't have any news to counteract the terrible news of the last few days, so here is a thread of cute animals eating things, with most with crunchy cromchy sounds. 1.
SARS-CoV-2 levels are atypically high for this time of year. #MaskUp and vote!
PMC COVlD Update (U.S.) Nov 2, 2026 Transmission typically falls in October, but not this year. We're seeing the highest levels for this time of year relative to any prior year since pandemic onset. Let that sink in. Presently, 47 states and territories have known outbreaks.... (1/3)
Yes! Thank you WA election officials, and I’m celebrating a functioning vote-by-mail (and drop box!) system! 💙💙💙
It was never about supporting education. It was always about money.
Google is now threatening America's schools, saying they will turn off their core search functions if schools choose to entirely block AI. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/03/u...
The thing I like about this is that whatever happens tomorrow it is true.
We‘re gonna wake up Wednesday with a country to save. So take care of yourselves, whatever that looks like for you.
Anxious? Me too. I wrote about how we can manage midterm anxiety, stay useful, and prepare for whatever comes next. "We cannot allow ourselves to shrink our aspirations to the size of a moment when people are trying to crush us."
Be as Brave and Gentle as You Can
This is an inflection point. Everything that comes next flows from here.
