This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

It's cool and all that Brianna Wu finally recognizes that her TERF buddies are snakes, but she spent months cheerleading genocide and where's her apology for that?

She spent weeks calling an Asian woman racist names on social media and said it was okay because her husband is Asian.

also she is unwilling to seek accountability for her constant and dedicated antiblackness

Night falls fast over a body of water. Peach-colored light holds the left-hand side of the frame, while deep, dusty blue pushes down from the right. Wisps of cloud, one shaped like a swan, hover in the sky. A band of slate gray water and some low trees and buildings border the bottom of the frame.

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead.

If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.

Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.

404 media can understand why Wikipedia needs to be preserved and why AI shouldn’t be taking that but is dead silent about calling AAVE “ Gen Z” slang

And everybody wants to say but these aren’t connected

Except they fucking are and we kept trying to tell yall for years

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 18d

TC
But Blacksky takes it one step further.
It targets minorities and marginalized individuals and has an algorithm that can filter out racial harassment. Unlike X, where a user might block one racist person and then see another, users on Blacksky can completely filter out whatever they want from their timelines, providing a custom social media experience.
"Sometimes you need a global stage.
Sometimes you just want a cozy corner with close internet friends where you can control who sees what," Fraser told TechCrunch.
Users own their data and can decide to host such information on Blacksky rather than Bluesky, giving them control over who has access to their content.
People also vote on decisions together, Fraser said, such as what the community guidelines should be and if non-Black users should be allowed to post in the community.

It's up to us to keep up Link's Fund Fridays, specifically attributing it to him as its origin.

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

Link helped build the culture . They claimed they were being equal and supportive to Rudy building Blacksky
Folks had no problem making press off Blacksky as the hope of the federated web

No one checked to make sure there was real autonomy

🇬🇾🗽Sydette The Dreaded Gorgon🗽🇬🇾 @blackamazon.bsky.social · Apr 27

I would also start asking why everyone including the folks who want “no masters”

Have no problem demanding Black people do the free labor of culture and moderation with no recompense

And have such a violent/ erasure reaction to why we stepped back or “raceblind” analysis of American protest
