image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr quote:

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance...These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook.

He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.”

Do what you want with your vote, but don’t spread misinformation.

Hey, @decolonised.org, why are you using AI-generated images in your content? AI companies are some of the biggest modern day colonizers out there. Generative AI is antithetical to the cause of decolonization.

Title of article is “Bluesky vs Meta, X, TikTok”

That’s exactly what you said, and this post further confirms it. Read a goddamn dictionary before saying this kind of nonsense: “democratic socialism rejects capitalism fully, and seeks to establish a decentralized socialist economic system within a democratically run government.”
Screenshot from Merriam-Webster:

“Usage of Social Democracy and
Democratic Socialism:

While in the past social democracy and democratic socialism both referred to movements seeking a fully socialist system, the two terms have diverged.

Today's social democracies retain a capitalist system overall, while democratic socialism rejects capitalism fully, and seeks to establish a decentralized socialist economic system within a democratically run government.”

Best Timing

Also, freezing ginger makes it easier to shred/grate!! 3/4
Preparation Tips

• Fresh vs dried: Fresh ginger and turmeric work best, but powdered versions also work in a pinch

• Steeping time: 5-7 minutes for balanced flavor, 10+ minutes for stronger medicinal effects

• Make-ahead: Can brew a larger batch and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours

Reposting with alt text :)
Screenshot of news screenshot from Caroline Wilburn:

“Major Networks Refuse To Air Trump's Primetime Speech Live On TV

The nation's biggest broadcasters are reportedly shying away from turning their platforms over to President Donald Trump to deliver his primetime speech uninterrupted in a few hours, given that he appears likely to recite false claims about election fraud.

ABC News and NBC News told Deadline that they will only air the speech on their respective streaming sites, not their broadcast channels.
NBC plans to run a special news report following the speech, and ABC told CNN's Brian Stelter it will run the speech ‘with comprehensive, anchored coverage.’

Stelter also reported that CBS News will only air the speech on its streaming service and social platforms, while also running a Tony Dokoupil special report on TV later in the hour.”

She then disabled responses on her posts so that no could respond to her transphobic nonsensical assertion that the word “woman” should be redefined to… include nonbinary folks & trans men who specifically don’t identify as such?? All because she doesn’t want to be referred to as a person??
Screenshot of quotepost from @nastygrannysz.bsky.social:

QUOTED POST (from @nancouchissues.bsky.social):

“Oh dear Lord. I am all for being respectful with words but people who don't have enough food?

They're HUNGRY!! They're not ‘insecure’.
They want and need food. They ‘go hungry’.They don't go ‘insecure’.

NOBODY IS ‘INSECURE’ ABOUT FOOD.

They're very confident that they need it.”

POST ABOVE QUOTED POST (from @nastygrannysz.bsky.social):

“I agree. I also have a problem with the new term "pregnant people." WOMEN get pregnant. Why is there a problem with that? Calling women just "people" instead does not solve anything. Remember when Hollywood actresses wanted the "ress" dropped because they thought they'd get paid better?”
Screenshot of my response to @nastygrannysz.bsky.social & her response to me:

ME: “The term ‘pregnant people’ has been adopted specifically to include trans people in the conversation.

Many nonbinary folks & trans men are also able to, and do, get pregnant.”

@nastygrannysz.bsky.social:

“True, but I'm concerned about the erasure of the word ‘woman’ no matter who it is applied to -- cis, trans, or otherwise. My point is that the answer is not to erase the word ‘woman,’ but to redefine and honor it.”

in honor of Pride, i wanted to share this poem i wrote after the first time i kissed a girl, after being told my whole life that i would go to hell for it Happy Pride 😘🏳️‍🌈
They said her lips would be the death of me maybe that's true
maybe I'II suffocate on their softness 
and gladly so 
but here's the thingWere her lips not soft

Were they forged from steel —
two blades sharpened to the finest of points, 
I would cut my mouth on them 
and beg for moreWere her lips not soft

Were they molded molten lava
I would let my lips burn 
until
they were fused with hers foreverWere her lips not soft

Were they covered in poisonous barbs
I would kiss each barb off her lips 
until they were soft 
and die in agonizing bliss.

Y’all need to read some Michael Parenti if you haven’t
Excerpt from “Blackshirts and Reds” Ch. 2, by Michael Parenti:

“Those who show concern for the elites overthrown in the whirl of revolution should also keep in mind the hundreds of millions more who are obliterated by economic reactionism. If all rebellions were to be successfully repressed today and forever, free-market autocracy's violence against humanity would be with us more unrestrained than ever-as is indeed
happening. For these reasons, those of us who are genuinely concerned about democracy, social justice, and the survival of our planet should support rather than oppose popular revolutions.”

Cherry picking

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position.
