Four years ago, then-President Joe Biden and both parties in Congress blocked railroad workers across the US from striking. Railroad workers tell us things have only gotten worse on the job since then.

#otd 1964 — the bodies of Civil Rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were pulled from the red clay of an earthen dam in Neshoba County, the place where 15 years later Reagan signaled supremacists to join his campaign.

The Lasting Impact of a Civil Rights Icon's Murder

One of three civil rights workers murdered in Mississippi in 1964 was James Chaney. His younger brother would never be the same

#otd 1980 — Ronald Reagan advanced white supremacy rehabilitated and rebranded as “states rights” in a speech in Neshoba County, Mississippi, which had a record of murder of and violence against Civil Rights Movement workers. “States rights” is a lie that made racism palatable for moderates #history

MESHOBA COUN PHILADELPHIA, MISOBA COUNTY FAIR ASSN. EST. 1889 " Giant Houso Porty Reagan speaks to a crowd at Neshoba County Fair in August 1980. On August 3, 1980, presidential candidate Ronald Reagan addressed a large crowd at the Neshoba County Fair as he campaigned in his bid for the presidency. The fairgrounds are mere miles away from the site where three civil rights workers - one a student participating in Mississippi Freedom Summer and the other two CORE members - were murdered and buried in shallow graves by members of the Ku Klux Klan in 1964.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

“Israel is not capable of fighting & winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows this, because they never see the back end.” Big oof story about lack of ability to defend U.S. & Israel against ongoing Iranian attacks, which U.S. has largely shouldered: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

U.S. general warns Pentagon he lacks sufficient forces to protect Israel

A shortage of Navy destroyers, used to defend against Iranian ballistic missile attacks, will force the head of U.S. European Command to prioritize the U.S. homeland instead, officials said.

the irony of publishing a report saying these groups are funded by outside actors and misrepresenting themselves as rights groups- right before being blackmailed by an outside actor and saying that these groups are actually rights groups

Valerie.vg (formerly DIYHRT.Market)@valerie.vg · 5d ago

So the key findings of Amnesty's report was that these anti-rights groups have massive funding, that it comes largely from far-right christian groups in the US, and that they're abusing UK charity law to misrepresent themselves as pro-rights organisations.

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank. Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall. From the archives:

Lord of the Roths: How Tech Mogul Peter Thiel Turned a Retirement Account for the Middle Class Into a $5 Billion Tax-Free Piggy Bank

Roth IRAs were intended to help average working Americans save, but IRS records show Thiel and other ultrawealthy investors have used them to amass vast untaxed fortunes.

"In today’s world no one is innocent, no one a neutral. A man is either with the oppressed or he is with the oppressors. He who takes no interest in politics gives his blessing to the prevailing order, that of the ruling classes and exploiting forces." - Dr. George Habash, founder of the PFLP

Alex@purplechrain.bsky.social · 5d ago

also, if your proposed alternative to protesting is to “make clear that we stand with Israelis like former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid” who all oppose a Palestinian state, describing yourself as a liberal Zionist is just window dressing

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 5d ago

If this is really true, I feel like you were not that motivated to protest in the first place. www.jta.org/2026/07/31/i...
