There is one fundamental truth about mutual aid, and it always shocks people:

YOU MUST BREAK THE LAW IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE.

This truth alone should radicalize you.

The more you work on scale, branding, recognition, institutional funding, the harder it becomes to actually
help people.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

Some day you’ll be in hospital for surgery or chemotherapy or with another illness & a nurse, or doctor or visitor at the next bed, or the patient opposite you will give you a Covid infection & your treatment will get delayed & your life will be put at unnecessary risk.

I could see them crashing out over this, but not to protect their neighbors

Which says so damn much about our country and it's military

Quibble While Rome Burns @nimi0us.blacksky.app · 14h

Honestly, it's so wild to me how the president is just so mind blowingly narcissistic that he believes he can berate, starve, and not pay the military & still have their loyalty

But they haven't taken up arms to protect people from fascists as they should've, so my expectations are still low

Mind you, the current Postmaster was put in power specifically to defund and dismantle USPS to help for profit shipping companies like UPS/FedEx take over & make more money

They can't even handle this shit WITH USPS' help while USPS is deliberately understaffed and paid pennies, it's shameful

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

“This immigration issue is a remnant of Subu’s original case. Since that wrongful conviction has now been officially vacated and all charges against Subu have been dismissed, we have asked the immigration court to reopen the case and consider the fact that Subu has been exonerated.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Anybody creating a for.shame.wtf labeler dupe? The old one shut down because the owner decided they couldn't trust people to use the labeler in ways that didn't affect those with power/money after folks found out, without using the labeler, that the Bluesky COO follows the Heritage Foundation.

One of the funniest things out of the past couple of weeks on Bluesky is how @for.shame.wtf created a labeler to expose people who follow prominent assholes, and then got bent out of shape when people used it to shame a Bluesky admin for following a prominent asshole.

Yeah I’m shutting down
@for.shame.wtf I’m sorry, I know a great many of you use it responsibly and in this specific case it is not relevant, but this sort of behavior is unhinged and I don’t want to be party to facilitating it.
