Support Amplify Bookstore. D Pavlou has stirred up some racist shit on them.
Have you seen this? Also, I love how MAGA is trying this shame these people for “impersonating” officers when ICE goons wear no badges, hide their faces, and all look like divorced Dads who are wearing the “Militia Goon” costume they bought at Spirit Halloween that’s 2 sizes too small.
It was a win win all round - and then David Seymour and ACT came along and destroyed it, cancelling local jobs and screwing over local economies, providing inedible and unsafe slop for our kids, and caring nothing for the harm it did. I'm still so angry about ACT utterly destroying this scheme
If you’re not familiar with how the Panama Canal operates, it’s mostly comprised of a giant artificial lake with a set of locks at each end. Here’s the bridge camera view from the last time I crossed it. You can imagine how much fresh water is lost each time a lock opens.
It takes about a day to transit the Panama Canal, but here it’s compressed into 72 seconds on the bridge cam. You can occasionally see a glimpse of the expanded parallel canal on the right.
Guys go and buy heaps of stuff from Amplify books, a good radical bookstore in naarm and wonderful people — they’re getting dogpiled and review bombed by white supremacists, full blown racist harassment campaign, people showing up in person, all cheerled by the putrid dog drew pavlou
Israeli soldiers and settlers are working together to terrorize and intimidate Palestinians across the West Bank. This is not isolated settler violence. It is a dangerous pattern of settlers operating with the protection, presence, or complicity of Israeli forces. 2/3
Happening now in the occupied West Bank: the Israeli occupation has gone wild. An Israeli terrorist settler wearing an army helmet tried to break into my house. He brought an Israeli army soldier with him to facilitate his entry. 1/2 #hebron #palestine🇵🇸 #palestine #apartheid #humanrights

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

This is getting a huge response on twitter, including from people I follow who are taking it at face value. As far as I can tell, it's fake. Trump said nothing like this in his public appearances yesterday. People *really* need to be more cautious of unsourced quotes that play to their assumptions.

Srebrenica Memorial Center has asked UEFA to ban Red Star Belgrade permanently from European competitions after fans praised convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić during a Europa League match. The club then shared photos of the banners on social media.
I wonder if they could have some kind of system where ideas like this got debated by a bunch of people to sort of test them, and then vote on whether to go ahead. Maybe be each region could choose someone to participate. I dunno, just an idea. Probably not practical really.
... and the army that caused this apocalypse-scale destruction? A diversionary force of ~6,000 troops sent in disguise to *distract* the main Qing siege forceencamped outside Nanjing. HZ wasn't even their actual objective, man...
Hangzhou, May 1860: A mystery army de-cloaks outside your city's walls, vast beyond counting. No help can possibly come in time. As they blast through your centuries-old walls, you turn around... only to see your own city admins & guard pre-sacking the city just before running out the back gate...
When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.
