I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
'vote blue no matter who'
you all really should be paying attention to the 'who'.
Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.

i think that all NYT reporters should quit no matter what their politics are or what their race is
this is what I actually believe; read blindsight
Gorton and Denton, a very poor working class suburb of Manchester just voted against evil anti immigrant bullshit.
When they say "working class" they just mean white and violent. They don't mean working class.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth.
We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.
In a just world, every bad faith git with a platform who called Trump an anti-war president would be driving DoorDash for the next ten years. It was always such transparently false bullshit.
Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.
It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.
Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."
Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.
Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.
Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.
I see the 7th George W. Bush administration is going well.
Yes, "zionism" has been widely used by antisemites as functional shorthand for jews, but denouncing only "Netanyahu's government" is fucking deplorable weaksauce that runs cover for the evil of nationalism and Israel.
Anarchists cannot afford to cede proper descriptive terms of what we oppose.

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsk... • 33m The personalised Reform UK lecterns have a slight, 'Ordered from Etsy' vibe to them. BRITAIN NEEDS Leader of Reform UK REFORM Shadow Home Secretary 15.06115.20 9 ①5 19 ... stress Testec Peter Walker O @peterwalker99.bsky.social We've had questions from three broadcasters so far, and they have all been about the practicalities and costs. None has asked about the legal/moral issue of retrospectively changing laws so huge numbers of people who have made their lives in the UK will be expelled.
Remember how I said that the problem is not Yer Da on Facebook: the problem is elite radicalisation, the political and media class driving themselves and each other insane? Reform is talking here about mass deportation.
Here’s the 60 Minutes report on “white genocide” in South Africa. It demonstrates it’s a lie, shows what’s really happening, debunks the specific claims made by Trump and ends with an Afrikaner saying it’s racist for the US to welcome his people rather than genuine refugees from around the world.
Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.
As I wrote a while ago, many of the gun contol laws that people call "sensible regulations" tend to harm marginalized and oppressed people. c4ss.org/content/15455
To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.
In the two decades since I took genocide studies I've felt constantly mad, knowing how many people among us are monsters and how on the knife's edge we all are from more horrors. It's felt weird to see millions of people wake up to this in the last year.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...
i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
A screenshot of an article from https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agent-fatally-shot-us-citizen-texas-dhs-records-11544225 reading: Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records. Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement.
We only know what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti because rapid response organizers were there to record it.
We don't know how many people they have murdered, but information about more killings keeps coming to light.
And who knows what happens in the camps.

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.
Said it before and ill say it again- this administration’s sudden uptick in Catholics is a strategic maneuver to try and win over Catholics since they’ve run out of evangelicals to court, but they are being repeatedly out-maneuvered by one Catholic in particular.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
