I can't vote for Biden because I'm not an American. But as a non-American I would very much like your country to cool it on the imperialism. #FreePalestine #ReparationsforPalestine

Hi Palestinian friends. I've had a lot of new followers from Gaza recently. I'm glad to have you here, but I'm worried that if you're following a tiny inactive account like me then you may be following enough people to risk a spam label. Please check out Molly's document if you need any guidance.

This is a document for any Gazan on here to know how to avoid the Spam Filter and other helpful information on using Bluesky. You can also send this to anyone you see fundraising for Gaza- it is just general information you do not need to verify their fundraiser before sending. 🇵🇸🆘

"“Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza,” 10 independent UN experts said in a statement on Tuesday." www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/...

UN experts say Israel carrying out ‘targeted starvation campaign’ in Gazawww.aljazeera.com Report says famine has spread throughout the enclave after nine months of war.

As evinced by the genocide that the average American is very much against but the policy makers feel no pressure to address in any way, even performatively.

Joe Biden can do one thing that will secure his presidency & save America’s democracy if that’s what he thinks he’s capable of (which he’s not). Stop the Palestinian genocide. It’s easily done, just means stop sending weapons. People will vote for him then. He’s too pitiful to do that much.

Every time I eat, I reach for pills... in fact every few hours my brain goes off like "which pills am I forgetting"... it's weird that most people really don't live like this 😪😓😭🤣

Remember to take your night meds!! 🩷🍭

You don't need to vote blue, because it's not going to do AB-SOL-UTE-LY anything, anything at all... just as a very interested onlooker.

From Nixon to Murdoch to Palin to Trump. You have something to do about your non-existent democracy that voting has not and will never solve. And the only thing that's truly happening is whiteness giving you guhs the privilege to ignore the absolute destruction of America. But vote, I guess.

What is this drug called America y'all are on... and how do we help you guys get off it?

I agree there's a crisis. I think if deciding American democracy is dead leads people to not vote, that would be a mistake.

It would be nice if the aging president stopped funding a genocide and stopped being coddled by white people who can apparently only perceive one problem at a time.

Be nice if that existential threat to democracy got as much coverage as the president's aging, wouldn't it?

Watching Gazans talk about what they and their families are going through ... jesus christ ... how and why do you care about Genocide Joe's speech impediment and not his war crimes! What is wrong with you! (Not a question)

This is my inner monologue every time I meet with a pregnant, laboring, or newly postpartum person. It is not a game and no one should ever be forced into it, no questions asked.

nobody should ever, EVER have to be pregnant if they don't want to be. I already believed this before, but the idea of forcing this on anyone is literally disgusting now that I've experienced LESS THAN 1% OF WHAT A PREGNANCY IS IM SO EARLY AND STILL!! I ASKED FOR THIS AND ITS HARD!

posting is ableist because some people don’t have a funny bone

I don't even hate Genocide Joe. He doesn't register as human... just like cartoon villain evil.

Also Joe Biden's "If you don't vote for me, you ain't Black" was problematic in a number of ways. He essentially said, look, I've symbolically used Black people as tokens to surround me enough, that if Black people don't take me as their candidate, I as a white man am revoking their Blackness.
