It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

It is an ugly truth but we are seeing in real time daily why revolutionaries have to kill lots and lots of people following regime changes.

42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.

Not only would I be happy to replace Churchill on fivers with a badger, I'd replace the Churchill statue in Parliament Square with a big bronze badger AND I'd replace Ed Davey with an ACTUAL badger coz it'd probably vote in less austerity.

Honestly though? I want to start seeing regulations that protect porn from this stuff. Starting at state level and then going federal. Guess it's time for me to try and put that pressure on my reps again.

If this factoid isn't plastered across every paper and news show. The parents of the dead and injured Americans need to know this stuff. But I have such little faith in the big outlets that I expect it won't show up as a headline. Vietnam all over again. Both the lack of planning and the lying

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Welcome back to 2011, Mike Johnson.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

another one, likely many more to be found

Not content to just steal from the real deal, this game is also ripping off fan designs 😬

Aaron suspended me for “harassment” for telling him to resign after he mocked the wife of a man who had been kidnapped by ICE. We aren’t “conspiracy-brained”, we’re witnessing your corruption firsthand.

American centrists already going hard on the “ha ha how can it be a war crime, its an iranian warship. Lol the extreme communist left so unserious”, because fundamentally their approach to discourse is to position two mirrors so they can see themselves twice while they wank gargling blood

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

In Athens, thousands of people marched in front of the US Embassy to protest against the US and Israel.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suit—even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

Need another reason to oppose AI data centers in your hometown? If the company running them has DoD contracts, they are legitimate targets of war. So is the local power and water infrastructure feeding them. So are the employees (defense contractors) working there and living in your neighborhood.

Did a big thread about this on Twitter a few years back, about how the Columbine shooters were steeped in nazi rhetoric, including eugenicist beliefs about killing disabled people, and just how much their neo-nazism wasn't just downplayed but omitted. Text from: schoolshooters.info/sites/defaul...

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

I drew the three stooges for my friend

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Doctors told my mom she was “stressed” She was covered in bruises from intense itching. Had back pain and trouble breathing. Turns out it was stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She died at 48. I’ve spent my whole life fighting for healthcare. Battling misogyny in medicine. It’s exhausting. And wrong.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

I use “ending trans healthcare” at NYU Langone, Mt. Sinai and Northwestern hospitals and avoid “ending trans healthcare for youth” bc ✅ healthcare for trans youth is necessary healthcare, full stop ✅ “youth” can include up to 19-26, who are adults ✅ ending “youth” care is a gate to end AL care

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

So, turns out the Oprah Winfrey Show green room was the 21st Century Death Star.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

while it is a relief to see Discord is no longer partnering with Persona and the age verification rollout has been delayed, that fact they still plan to go through with it is not great. Age verification doesn't ever reduce harm to children, just makes it easier to track people online.

Good thing all these universities have a ton of goodwill built up from how they treated student protesters a year and a half ago, and their steadfast refusal to stop profiting and investing in a genocidal apartheid state

KEEP CANCELLING NITRO Until Discord says the words "We will stop the rollout for global age verification" KEEP CANCELLING NITRO

how many people are about to die for a bipartisan round of applause at tonight's speech

In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

this is the political movement that tried to convince you they cared about women’s sports.

This is Neal Katyal. He argued for Nestlé's right to profit from child slavery without consequence before the Supreme Court—and won! Thank you, Neal. ===============

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

NEWS Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza.

This crap has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with forcing people to give up their privacy and data to companies like Palantir.

“The detention staffers blocked the security cameras and grabbed my testicles and firmly crushed them.” They are crushing testicles in ICE camps. One detainee was suffocated to death & the regime rushed to deport the witnesses who saw him killed. This is a humanitarian crisis.

this is genuinely 85% of U.S. media on any given day

(waves tiny American flag) 🗽

Reminder that immigration detention is administrative, not criminal.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
