White settler colonialism is at the very heart of the devastation of Lahaina & the rest of Maui. Governor Green says he's going to push back against vulture speculators trying to buy up land. I hope he walks his talk. Kanaka Maoli must be centered in rebuilding Maui. Listen to Kapuaʻala Sproat📢👇🏾

In response to Christopher Bouzy.
Just like Putin managed to unite and strengthen NATO, Republicans have managed to unite and strengthen Democrats. Now we have to try to keep women and kids alive until we get power back.

Hey, all.
I'm profoundly angry and sad about what is happening on the border of Texas.
Yes, it's Abbott.
But it's the people who vote for him.
And it's the rest of us who allow it.
And I know by typing this I'm solving nothing.
Seriously, what the fuck do we do here? 🧵

BREAKING: Trump LOSES as Georgia Supreme Court dismisses his last-ditch desperate attempt to stop Fulton County DA Fani Willis from indicting him.
Decision unanimous.
Willis has hinted that indictments -- not just of Trump but of dozens of conspirators -- are coming in August.

Fani Willis isn't just going to indict Donald Trump.
She's going to indict Rudy Giuliani.
She's going to indict John Eastman.
She's going to indict Sidney Powell.
She's going to indict Lindsey Graham.
This is going to be a legal and political earthquake.

Bluesky has an Android and iOS app, 13+ million in investments, and Threads just ate their lunch. Spoutible having an iOS app isn't magically going to catapult us to the top. Everything that is happening would've happened with or without an iOS app.

Nathan W @VUWildcatIn the battle to replace Twitter, Spoutible really took the early lead, however, the lack of an IOS application has hurt them. People like ease even without bells and whistles. Yes Thread seems have some stuff missing… but it has an IOS app.01:36 PM - Jul 07, 2023

I liked the new #indianaJones . It doesn't come near the heights of Raiders, but not too many #films do. It ranks amongst the better sequels (Temple of Doom & the previous are my least favorites). One thing: Hollywood cares so little for voice-acting that they de-aged Ford but not his voice?!?

A month ago, people said the same thing about Bluesky when we didn't have any apps. We will not rush out an iOS app or any feature because of Threads. If a user wants to leave because our iOS app hasn't been released yet, then that person was never going to stay anyway.

And yes, that was the issue but I don't turn on notifications because they contribute to my anxiety. A lot. So that's interesting.
Good to know that it works, though.
