I call them the PSA moments, and every episode never fails to have at least one. It's unfortunate that they often feel forced, since what they're saying in those PSA moments is actually true and needs wider coverage.
a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment
Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released today—overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year
That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions
🚨 Right in the middle of the strike map U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth proudly displayed at a Pentagon briefing today sits Minab — the site of a school in southern Iran where a U.S.–Israeli strike killed 165 children this weekend. BBC’s Tom Bateman asked Hegseth whether the Pentagon knows whose munition hit the school. Hegseth said the department is still investigating. Journalist Chris Osieck plotted the Minab school (green dot) onto the strike map released by the U.S. military today. It sits directly within the cluster of U.S. strike zones shown on the Pentagon briefing map. @tombateman | @ChrisOsieck
Chris Osieck @ChrisOsieck I plotted the location of the Minab school (green dot) onto the map shared by the U.S. military, for those interested.
See new posts Conversation Nilo Tabrizy @ntabrizy Genuine question for the reporters that were in the room — there’s an icon near Minab. Did the US confirm they struck the school?

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
The purpose of a system is what it does.
The US is a death-making machine that generates profit for weapons companies.
This video getting a resurgence of viewers. Most probably cause Hegseth (the US minister of defence) told soldiers they are fighting a 'holy war' and fighting the Islamic Republic will initiate the apocalypse. This video explains all that.

The US uses its vast resources mostly to avoid learning anything
Babe come quick, new ultra-cursed business portmanteau just dropped, someone just said "warflation" on Bloomberg
is it a good sign when the uniform response to a classified briefing is basically everyone immediately doing a vertical video about it in which they spend most of the time screaming that we’re all gonna die?

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

Chrontendo Episode 56 (00:03:41)
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” - James Baldwin
OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

🟢 Israel agreed to a “ceasefire” in Gaza on October 10. Since then, Israeli forces have: ➤ Launched 852 airstrikes and artillery attacks ➤ Opened fire on Palestinians 665 times ➤ Committed 1,856 armed violations on the ground 🔴 Israel Killed: ➤ 198 Children ➤ 85 Women ➤ 23 Elderly Citizens 648 Palestinians total 🔴 Israel Wounded: ➤ 507 Children ➤ 337 Women ➤ 89 Elderly Citizens 1666 Palestinians total The Palestinian resistance in Gaza shared on Day 137 (February 25) of the “ceasefire” a report detailing “sustained and systematic” Israeli violations of the truce.
➤ It recorded that children, women, and the elderly make up 47.2% of those killed during the “ceasefire.” ➤ It documents 1,856 Israeli field violations, averaging 13.5 violations per day, including live fire, drone strikes, artillery shelling, demolitions, and naval gunfire. ➤ The most severe violations, according to the report, concern aid. The ceasefire requires 600 trucks per day, including 50 fuel trucks. The document states that only 43.2% (260 of 600 agreed trucks) have entered overall, and just 15.1% of required fuel. ➤ It accuses Israel of providing “misleading figures” to mediators and refusing independent monitoring, calling the fuel restrictions a deliberate obstruction of recovery and basic services. ➤ Only 1,753 of 4,200 scheduled travelers were allowed to pass through Rafah in both directions — a compliance rate of just 41.7%. The report concludes that the violations form a “continuous and systematic pattern” that has stripped the ceasefire of practical substance.

Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.
Truly, listen to the whole thing. We discuss the changes to the religious right since Trump's ascension to the national stage: more focused on the supernatural, miracles, prophets, apostles, spiritual warfare, casting out demons, Christianizing communities.
