Everyone -- we're in a window of opportunity-- due to the coup in Honduras + media coverage in the US, people are more receptive to hearing about tech fascism and the Network State. Tell journalists, podcasters, influencers, bloggers you like that you want them to cover this.

this is how the holocaust started by the way. in case anyone even gives a shit anymore. this is how it started. trans people were first.
The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal. The move aims to ensure that no “forbidden terms” appear in the work. Banned terms must be scrubbed.

I know we're supposed to treat vaccine skeptics with a lot of empathy, compassion and understanding... but it's hard to wrap your head around the total stupidity of this:

A decade ago at least, when I still wrote for +972 Magazine, we said that one day police would use West Bank occupation tactics on Jewish Israelis. Happening now.

He is telling us he will *end* the republic. Believe him. Believe every single word.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

I’ve hidden this ad + muted the hashtag 3 different times today. Still popping up. Be aware Elon is very much using this site to manipulate what you see and it will become more apparent as Nov approaches and election info comes out. I 100% believe this is the reason he bought it

Over 350 of these arrests in "progressive" Massachusetts
JUST IN: NBC News reports that nearly 3,000 arrests have been made across the US in recent university protests

Interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that never spoils the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, lest all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them.

In case the news media did not tell you. Today, nearly half a million people marched in DC to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to protest against Israel's genocide of Palestinians and the US government funding and protecting war criminals.
400,000 people in DC today. The largest Palestine protest in the history of the United States. This Despite the cold weather, the flight and metro cancellations, the supposed fatigue after 100 days of protest. The movement for Palestine will not go away until Palestine is free.

We are in a CRITICAL blood shortage right now. Donors want masks required. This is how Red Cross responds. Donors should not have to ASK for protection. One person popping a mask on by request isn't very helpful when #Covid is airborne. Red Cross policy is killing people.
Critical blood shortages but @RedCross won't require masks on donors and staff. Many of the people who donate blood are health-conscious folks who are aware of the risks of #COVID The choice not to require masks is literally 💀 people who need blood.
