idk seems kinda hard to "move on" when there's an active right-wing campaign afoot to free Chauvin and pretend Floyd wasn't murdered

Five years after George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer, the future of the intersection where it happened is uncertain. Today, a memorial is set up in the partially blocked street. But some want to move on. By @meganders.bsky.social https://www.npr.org/2025/05/23/nx-s1-5282100/george-floyd-square-future

I missed this a few days ago - US grocery giant Kroger is actively selling its customer loyalty data and customer profiles to data brokers and to other companies.

Editing: Folks, I get this is “known” to those paying attention. The point here isn’t surprise, but direct verification thanks to a new Oregon law.

I keep hearing comments like “I plan to ignore it for the next four years”. This Billionaire Bill shuts down democracy. Look away at your peril.

Another Israeli politician is acknowledging what is going on in Gaza is genocide.

In a May 22 oped for the Hebrew Haaretz, former PM Ehud Olmert (long-time member of Likud, youth member of Beitar, son of Irgun members), writes that he can no longer deny to the world that Israel is committing war crimes.

"We in Gaza have seen PR exercises masked as “humanitarian action” before. We remember the airdrops that were killing more people than they were feeding. We remember the $230m pier that barely got 500 truckfuls of aid into Gaza from the sea: a feat that could have been accomplished in half a day via an open land crossing.

We in Gaza are hungry, but we are no fools."
