“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”

This second picture is MUCH more accurate!

[queen-mihai]

I had the exact same experience the second time I looked at this picture as the first time. I was looking like "what is this green line? Like suddenly everything is OK? It's not. Racists are still trying to push us back to 1619. Nothing has been fixed. We still need to fight. Hard!

Hockey is for everyone. Well, not everyone. I am having a hard time figuring out how I can remain a fan right now, and no one is talking about it. Trump announced his council on fitness (because fat people are a threat to national security/military readiness - you can’t make this stuff up!) Stated goals include “keeping men out of women’s sports.”

On the council:

The commissioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman

The best player of all time, Wayne Gretzky

The current face of American hockey, Matthew Tkachuk

Hockey is way over represented on the current list of committee members. Out and proud about being the most MAGA sport!

President Trump Revives Iconic Pillars of American Youth

Also, this program falls under the gutted Department of Education. Because literacy is a state problem, but fitness (and keeping trans people out of sports) is a national priority.

@mayakern does skirts ranging from xs to 6xl, has done faux wrap crop tops (which were that popular that they sold out in a few days!). Is having a Halloween drop in a few days 👀

@sergle @witchvamp and @freshhotflavors have been on my watchlist for a while as well 👀

[mayakern]

thank you for the mention!!

yes we have button-downs from XS-6X, crop tops from S-6X and skirts that fit sizes XS to either 7 or 8X depending on the design because we had a couple skirt batches where our largest size ended up a little too small

also all our skirts have pockets deep enough to fit a nintendo switch!

other shops i’d recommend: @freshhotflavors @morningwitchy @crowlines

Where’s the outrage over labor leader Chris Smalls’ violent arrest by the IDF? – Struggle – La Lucha

U.S. labor leader Christian Smalls sails on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship Handala on July 15, 2025. Photo: Tan Safi/ Freedom Flotilla Coali

By Mike Elk

Despite Smalls having been profiled by every major media outlet in the U.S. when he successfully led the union drive at Amazon, not a single major media outlet has covered his violent detention by the IDF.

[queeranarchism]

"The US could stop the genocide in Gaza tomorrow!" Yes. As the biggest weapons supplier, the US could stop the genocide. But so could the EU, and that's not getting enough attention.

Israel's economy couldn't survive without the EU, not even for a short time. The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner and the biggest investor in Israel (nearly twice as big as the United States) and the EU is the main destination for Israeli investment.

Firm economic sanctions by the EU would not be some long term pressure builder, they would have immediate effect. The EU could stop the genocide in Gaza tomorrow. They choose not to.

[queeranarchism]

Let's also name the most complicit countries by name!

Biggest weapons exports to Israel: 1. US 2. Germany 3. Italy 4. UK

Biggest financial investors in Israel 1. The Netherlands 2. The US 3. Luxembourg 4. Germany

Biggest receivers of Israeli investments: 1. The Netherlands 2. The US 3. Cyprus 4. Germany

Biggest importers of Israeli goods: 1. US 2. Germany 3. Italy 4. The Netherlands

Biggest exporters of goods to Israel: 1. US 2. China 3. Ireland 4. Germany

Any of these countries could make a massive difference even without full EU consensus. A fucking tiny country like the Netherlands has 43% of ALL foreign investor capital in Israel. Luxemburg has 7%. If they cut those ties, that would do so much.

FUCK ISRAEL

[queeranarchism]

#is this all cuz of the fucking bible?#Israel has no high profit exports#do they?#is everyone sucking their dick#because of location and biblical references?

It's not the bible, at least not in the way it is in the US. The kind of christian zionists that believe all jews must return to the holy land in order for Christ to return, are not a significant group in most countries here. Other reasons are:

Location. Israel is a military base for the US-Europe-etc. alliance to do their wars in the middle east and control access to oil, vital shipping-routes, etc.

Mutual interest. Israel has worked hard to make itself indispensable to Europe's security, particularly it's intelligence apparatus. A lot of the best software to hack your enemies and to prevent getting hacked comes from Israel. Upset Israel too much, and you can lose access to that stuff.

Not wanting to upset European relations with the US. This is particularly obvious for Ireland, where the vast majority of the electorate hates Israel but the elected are happy to ignore that and continue kissing US' ass because their economy depends on it.

Not wanting to upset relations with Germany, where the political class has brainwashed itself into thinking that Holocaust guilt demands that they follow Israel right into the next genocide.

Propaganda. European politicians are not immune to it and Israel spends a lot of resources lobbying to European politicians and journalists. They've been absurdly succesful in Germany, but they have had some success everywhere.

Filtering through smear campaigns and funding. Every European country has their own version of AIPAC, which for decades now have been promoting pro-Israel politicians and journalists while undermining the careers of politicians and journalists who are critical of Israel. In the Netherlands they're called the CIDI. For a long time, if the CIDI hated you, your political career was basically over. So it's not weird that our national politics has very few people who are willing to criticize Israel, they were filtered out before they became big enough to enter the national level.

The weight of each factor will differ from country to country, and some will have other factors unique to them.

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

Here's the cartoon:

According to Telnaes, "The group in the cartoon included Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook & Meta founder and CEO, Sam Altman/AI CEO, Patrick Soon-Shiong/LA Times publisher, the Walt Disney Company/ABC News, and Jeff Bezos/Washington Post owner."

[beaniebaneenie]

For those of you too young to know, the Washington Post is the paper that broke the Watergate Scandal.

This is the paper that won a Pulitzer for its coverage of Jan6.

For this paper's owner to refuse to publish a political cartoon (specifically because it makes the owner and the President elect look bad) is a harbinger of deep and absolute facism, where the government controls the press.
