This is why I will never willingly return to China, you can just tell it’s an authoritarian society and I left too early to have that level of patriotism instilled in me. Cuz wdym laughing at a meme implicitly calling Mao a dictator can get you canceled by the entire country 💀
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

Joint List getting more seats than Ben-Gvir's "Jewish Power" party and Arab parties being kingmakers lmaooooo

Regardless of which war criminal becomes prime minister, Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid will continue to face genocide, land theft, and erasure.
We cannot accept lies, excuses, or half-measures from our leaders. We must impose a full arms embargo and sanctions until Palestine is free.

saw the iPhone Duo in-person today
after playing around with it for 30 minutes, I think it’s definitely very polished for a first gen device and the crease is *barely* visible
Top 3 most selfish Democrats:
1. Alani Bankhead
2. Katie Porter
3. Jasmine Crockett
Democrat Alani Bankhead says she was offered a job to drop out of the Montana Senate race "They offered to be ... the DNC's head of female veteran candidates or something like that. And I was like: 'Why would I go work for an organization that is actively working against me and stabbing me in the back"

imagine there’s some queer kid out there who already had the argument with their parents, already are on thin ice, biding their time, just trying to escape and go to college etc to finally find some peace. then this scaremongering mailer shows up. it could kill that kid.
Destroying public transit infrastructure and funding to… free Palestine?
Anonymous submission:
Last week, a group of activists disabled the OMNY readers at the BQ Church Avenue station in Brooklyn with an automatic center punch and drill. They opened the gate so people can ride for free, and painted the cameras to protect themselves and fellow riders from surveillance.
This was deliberate act of protest against unaffordable transit, hyper-surveillance in predominantly Black and brown neighborhoods, and the MTA's collaboration with the military industrial complex.
YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. OMNY records when and where you travel, your photograph, name, DOB, billing address, and other personal details. This invasive tech creates a profile to track your life and travel patterns. OMNY’s privacy policy places no limits on the data it collects about you.
EVERY TAP FUNDS A WAR PROFITEER. OMNY is operated by Cubic, a military equipment company making combat simulators. They sell the F-35 fighter jet training system to imperialist zionist entities like israel. The F-35 is a key weapon in israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and all of the US's imperialist wars, responsible for massacring millions of people.
FIGHT BACK. The MTA and Cubic don't deserve your hard earned cash. Take action, smash a reader, jump the turnstile, hold the gate for others. If you must pay, use cash for OMNY cards, and tap yourself and fellow riders in. This makes you all less traceable. Cover your face and identifying features. Always check for police before evading the fare. Remember, contracted security guards have no authority to stop or detain passengers.
RIDE FREE, FUCK THE NYPD, AND FREE PALESTINE!
got hit with two bridge tolls (Dumbarton and Carquinez) and got stuck in gridlock traffic on the 680 on the way back but it was worth the drive tbh
BART exhibit was unfortunately not open today tho 😭😭🙏
have to make this dr*ve later today to visit this railway museum I’ve always wanted to visit cuz it’s (ironically) not transit-accessible on weekends and not open on weekdays
oh well maybe it is time for me to experience the pain of driving in the Bay Area just this once
