If you think Iran doesn't have a right to defend itself against this you have sided with Nazis

the progress flag, my favorite flag

wanna see the opposite of a swastika?

BC "has the second-lowest provincial income tax rate for the highest-income earners." #TaxTheRich #bcpoli

Advocates push back on Danielle Smith's comment that people are moving to Alberta for social programs | CBC News The premier said her government wants to ensure programs like Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or AISH, aren't "overly generous," and that she's heard people have moved to Alberta just to ...

"[W]e’d heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs" is laughable as public justification for policy change. Evidence-free decision making, rooted in the tenet of the hypercapitalist: if you don't work to generate profit, you don't deserve to live. #abpoli #cdnpoli

I actually love cooking and my kids will eat vegetables just fine but sometimes you have to pick your battles and sometimes the battle is laundry! Preprepped food is as old as civilisation; the workload was always meant to be shared

Riyadh gets 90% of its fresh water from one desalination plant. About 85% of Israel’s domestic fresh water consumption comes from five major desalination plants. Teheran is already in severe drought. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail. A water war would be absolutely catastrophic.

Do you think a German court presided over the Nuremberg tribunals?

Ope. Yea that’s a sieg heil

a bill to make 100,000 people do desperate survival crimes every day throughout the province seems like a not good plan, tara

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.

Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

I do think this is a far-reaching phenomenon impacting everything from moral laws to traffic laws—when the system isn’t working for people and is actually fucking them over constantly, they rely on small acts of protest against it to retain their dignity, even if those acts are grossly misdirected.

$200 by April.

$100/barrel crude by Monday lol

As an unwilling connoisseur of agitprop, Iran really hit it out of the park with "we're fighting the Epstein Class that either rapes children or kills them"

The nuclear block is good, actually. It’s why Bluesky is my favorite modern social site, much more so than even Twitter at its best.

You know who has some cards now? Canada. 🇨🇦

The last German war reparations for world war 1 was in 2010.

It’ll be longer than our lives

You assume Balkanization is off the table

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war
of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school.

if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Probably could get trains AND healthcare.

If they are hitting water infrastructure in Iran, that’s a crime against humanity on an enormous scale. I planned to publish something on Iran’s water crisis this week but it obviously got bumped. Iran was already in a critical state pre war, destroying water infrastructure will kill innocent people

Treat them as network building events and create connections among decentralized groups

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”

Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

Honestly, any analysis of antivaxxers that doesn't start from them being, first and foremost, a hate movement against autistic kids, is wrong from the off.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
