A year ago on Nov 1 was the #NoviSad train station collapse that ignited #protests in #Serbia that continued for a long time

How long?

To today

Thousands of Serbian students are marching 100 km on foot to commemorate 16 people who died in the collapse due to #corruption

They demand #accountability. Those in power responsible escape accountability when people get distracted. The protesters aren't allowing anyone to forget

There is a lesson for us, world

In the US, those who are unaffiliated with any religion overwhelmingly vote for The Democrats. Whereas those who believe greed is a sin, overwhelmingly vote for the guy who is building a gold-gilded ballroom worth 300 million dollars, while taking away health care from the common man.

That blows my mind.

Statistics of voter affiliation among religious groups.

@randahl The primary appeal of #Christianity over other religions during the Roman Empire was the ability to avoid #accountability.

White liberals love to distance themselves from conservatives, as if complicity requires a MAGA hat.

But history keeps proving that when whiteness feels threatened, even the self-proclaimed “good ones” will find a way to return to the safety of supremacy.

It’s not new.
It’s not shocking.

It’s just the latest chapter in a centuries-old story…the myth of white supremacy doesn’t need loyalty, it only needs convenience.

I’m done with it.

I don’t care about your regret.

I care about the people who never had the luxury of pretending they didn’t know better.

I care about those who’ve been screaming the truth for decades…ignored, dismissed, and gaslit while you built empires on their labor and ideas.

White male mediocrity is not insight.

Your realization is not bravery.

And it’s still rooted in the same violence that got us here.

Your faith that being “a white good person” and not like them, is enough.

Whiteness was built to function without your consent.

It’s the operating system you were born into.

One that rewards compliance and punishes disruption.

It scripts your behavior, shapes your institutions, and trains you to see its outcomes as “normal.”

So when I ask, how do you feel knowing that whiteness requires your complicity, I’m really asking…what are you willing to do now that you know?

Kim Crayton ~ Her/She

@KimCrayton1@dair-community.social replied · 4 weeks ago

Because you can’t opt out of the system, but you can refuse to perform your role in maintaining it.

Discomfort is not harm.

Awareness is not absolution.

Action, consistent, accountable, antiracist action, is the only path to integrity.

So as you hold your signs and chant for “No Kings,” remember, you can’t dismantle monarchy while worshiping the myth of white male saviors. You can’t demand liberation while centering comfort. You can’t imagine a new world while refusing to confront the ways you benefit from the old one.

The real protest begins when you turn that same energy inward. When you divest from the systems, institutions, and policies that make “kings” possible in the first place.

Because without that work, No Kings Day will just another day that ends in “Y.”

House Republican declares victory on Epstein files after Democratic special election win

A huge Democratic win in an Arizona special election Tuesday has been hailed as a major tipping point to releasing the Epstein files by one of President Donald Trump's biggest Republican nemeses.Democrat Adelita Grijalva's projected win, ABC reports, will narrow the GOP’s thin majority, but that is...

Building in the fediverse for 7+ years has shown me that all feedback comes from people who genuinely care about decentralized social media.

That's what keeps me motivated.

The tough accountability moments, like open letters to cancel funding, have made me grow as a leader, and leadership growth is crucial for building successful projects and thriving ecosystems.

This community is so worth fighting for. I'm proud to be part of it and committed to being a better leader.

Wildfires in Europe are becoming more frequent, more intense, and lasting longer.

Between 8 and 25 August, wildfires burned nearly 600,000 hectares in Portugal and Spain alone – a land area over twice the size of Luxembourg.

We thank 🇨🇿🇩🇪🇫🇮🇫🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹🇲🇹🇳🇱🇷🇴🇸🇪🇸🇰 for supporting Portugal and Spain in their fight against the wildfires that affected both countries.

We are working hard to anticipate risks and strengthen preparedness.

The EU is getting ready for anything, anywhere, anytime.

@EUCommission Hey folks! Thanks for all the support. When this nightmare ends... Maybe (just maybe) it's a good idea to do a root cause analysis. We don't want to discover "too late" that some local regions are defunding public fire services, cutting taxes to the rich, and spending money in... I don't know... in bullfights instead of prevention. Can you imagine? Impossible... right? 👀
