The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
It is unfortunate that this clip stays relevant but for as long as it is relevant I'll keep reposting it
ICE detain U.S. Army veteran—a 50 year old woman with major health issues.
20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.
Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protest—evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
I guess people should worry about the Gorn retaliating on Cardassian and Federation planets. Like I said, this is war, some people will die. #StarTrek #Sisko197
uhh 🚨
The US lethal attack on a girls school in Minab, that killed about 180 mostly young girls, will forever been connected by the world with Pete Hegseth's pronouncement that "we won't be following any stupid rules of engagement." It's a war crime plain and simple.
You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
INDICT KRISTI NOEM.

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless.
I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism.

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there
I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:
Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Pretti’s shooting — “masks off, body cams on” — noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didn’t change shit, and that we’re likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters
IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.
Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.
Matthew Petti @matthew_petti As predicted their next move is to try to start a Kurdish uprising. https://axios.com/2026/03/02/trump-iran-war-kurds-iraq
It always goes well for the Kurds when they put their faith in western powers so this should be fine for them
If the Rightwing and some liberals successfully dismantle public libraries, they will not be replicated again in the U.S.
"A Block Club investigation found dozens of protesters arrested by state police are still facing criminal charges for minor infractions, such as sitting on a concrete barrier — even after Gov. JB Pritzker vowed to protect their First Amendment rights."

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.
It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.
