i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital β€” only to face little to no food again.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

@bsky.app why are you removing accounts from inside Gaza

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was β€œspam” and that it was β€œcausing harm.” What kind of logic is this?

The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.

Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as β€œviolations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.

What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.

[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.

Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage β€” even when officers kill.

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...

But that's not the only shocking number:

- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt β€œThe Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump.

All these U.S. attorneys β€” what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) β€” she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.

While JD takes his kids through Disneyland to silent stares and protests outside the park, I am thinking about the kidsβ€”citizensβ€”who won a trip there and instead got locked up in Ferndale.

I am thinking of the cast members he’s exploiting for his fun while ICE pick them off on their way home.

Looks like despite all of Musk’s training to make Grok transphobic, Hunter Schafer is a bit too powerful for Grok.

And also, it’s hilarious that the first AI trained to be anti-trans ends up being a chaser.

Just want to show you some of the people who show up to fight for health care in Congress. My comrades @littlelobbyists.com have been putting some serious miles on their chairs and feet forcing lawmakers to look at the people they're voting to strip Medicaid from.

Her Family Needed Housing. They Spent Months in New York Hotels, Left to Fend for Themselves. Statewide spending on hotels has more than tripled in recent years. The shift away from shelters has prevented families from accessing services like child care and help finding housing.
