"Chickens for KFC". That's what queer people who oppose slaughtering innocent people in Iran or Gaza are called. Brilliant queer Iranian-Canadian journalist @smohyeddin.bsky.social takes that to pieces.

The big defining test of our time: Do you think Palestinian life has equal worth? Our politicians and media outlets don't even pretend to pass it.

Imagine this was a Jewish person who wasn't left-wing or pro-Palestinian.

Marching against genocide is a hate march. Marching to "stop Islam", kick out Muslims and prepare for civil war isn't a hate march. The world has been turned on its head.

The message is clear: Muslims are fair game in this country.

We can't be having "conspiracy theories" about the hidden power of elites, can we Tony?
How can the BBC possibly argue they take racism against Muslims or Palestinians seriously after this?
There's two basic problems with Labour's Ed Balls. 1) He hates the left. 2) He has a very thin skin.
Oof! White House Comms director Steven Cheung isn't happy with me. The US suffering the worst strategic defeat since it became a superpower has clearly given him the grumps 😢
The Greens crushed Labour in Hackney. The politics of hope defeated the politics of fear 💚 Congratulations @zoegarbett.bsky.social!
The police are lying to you over the Gaza protests. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police should resign.
For Palestinians, Zionism isn't just an ideology - it's a lived reality. It's meant ethnic cleansing, colonisation, slaughter - and genocide. As Alaa Radwan says, she distinguishes between Zionism and Jewish people. Tone policing victims of genocide is disgusting.
Trump is “increasingly using desperate language and even considering desperate moves,” says @tparsi.bsky.social, because “according to the plan of those who sold this blockade idea to the Trump administration, Iran should have crumbled about 10 days ago, and it clearly has not happened."

OLDEST TALKING POINT EVER: ''J6 was an insurrection''. Never in history has there been an UNARMED insurrection. You come with guns, kill anyone in your way, take all politicians hostage then go after the POTUS. No judge charged ONE person with insurrection because THERE WAS NONE!
In the margins, God lifts the meek, revealing Christ's love for every unnoticed soul. Luke 19:8 - "But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.

Markuszower herhaalde vandaag wat hij eergisteren in de kamer zei: Mensen (kamerleden) die meeliepen met de Rode Lijn demonstratie, die (volgens hem) door Hamas is geïnfiltreerd, dan zeg ik hetzelfde: dan moet de overheid ook daar met desnoods maximaal geweld optreden.

Christmas may be two weeks away, but that doesn't mean the weather can't change. Be careful on snow covered roads if ye plan on travelin'.
The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti are devastating tragedies and absolutely indefensible. We cannot let this spiral into more bloodshed. We need fair, thorough, unbiased investigations with local & state law enforcement fully involved. The truth must come out & people must be held accountable.

An interesting woke take on the misogynist conservative men who dress as women. Also possible TERF projection since this mirrors what they say about trans women being a parody of women 2
Remembering Amy Winehouse: August 8, 2007, she overdosed on a mix of alcohol, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine after a London pub crawl, leading to the cancellation of her first U.S. tour. Her struggles and refusal to enter rehab inspired her iconic song "Rehab." #AmyWinehouse #Legend

I visited MAAC Project to hear about their work to support San Diego families and to hang out with the kids - the cutest meeting of my week. Head Start programs nationwide have lost funding due to the Republican shutdown. It’s past time to come back to Washington and pass a budget.
Tuapse passed the torch. Perm picked it up. 🔥 Preliminary reports suggest the blaze is at LPDS “Perm” (Malinovskaya district), a key Transneft oil transit hub responsible for pumping, storing, and routing crude through Russia’s main pipeline network.
My opponent, Kevin Kiley, may be too busy playing politics to answer your calls, but I won’t be. As your next congressman, I’m making one thing clear: I work for you. That’s why I’m launching a 24/7 constituent hotline (916) 534-8106—because your concerns don’t clock out at 5 PM, and neither do I.
Born on this day in 1950 was Robert James Zdarsky, better known as character actor and film producer, Robert Z'Dar. Robert suffered from cherubism, a condition resulting in an enlarged jawline. He is best known for the cult horror film Maniac Cop (1988) and Samurai Cop (1991). #OnThisDay #botd
