Shoutout to every writer out there writing the kind of books fascists keep trying to ban.

Falcon-winged, falcon-mad, like an unfalling arrow, like an unforgotten thought.

Some light breaking through in Yosemite Valley

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

PM Pedro Sánchez, the only EU leader at present capable of an actual spine.

Imagine you're paying like $100 a month or whatever for Claude and realizing the government used the same shit to kill schoolchildren in Iran. And they're using your tax money to pay for it. So you're paying Claude twice to kill kids. Crazy.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran. Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

NYT/BBC had their chance to prove themselves capable, and failed dismally.

"Imperialist war does not liberate peoples — it subjugates them." The Cabinet of the Progressive International condemns the US-Israel military assault on Iran in the strongest possible terms.

Here's your regular reminder that you don't have to defend the Iranian dictatorship to oppose the war. Multiple things can be true at once

World IDs could present tempting targets for theft if they become widely adopted, EFF’s @falsemirror.masto.nyc.ap.brid.gy told @WSJ.com. “You can’t change your iris if someone does manage to get ahold of that information.” www.wsj.com/tech/sam-al...

Each time they fuck up, they are literally telling you who they work for. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Shorter: Starmer the piss-take savant on the regular.

Says everything about mainstream media in the West.

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

There is a reason I still refuse to read the NYT. But right now, even more so.

"There’s nothing preemptive about these strikes [on Iran], and there’s certainly no legitimate self-defense claim." Read the latest piece by international law expert @alonso-gd.bsky.social on the reasons why Trump's war on Iran is illegal. Read here: zeteo.com/p/internatio...

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"

''About 130 million U.S. adults (54% of those aged 16–74) read below a sixth-grade level, according to modeled estimates.'' www.nu.edu/blog/49-adul... See also: nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaa... Dataviz: nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaa... #factsmatter #statistics #US #literacylevels

Michael Parenti: "Fascism is a false revolution. It cultivates the appearance of popular politics and a revolutionary aura without offering a genuine revolutionary class content. It propagates a 'New Order' while serving the same old moneyed interests."

I wouldn't trust a word Mr Altman says. End of.

It is critical to remember at this point that only the U.S. Congress can formally declare War; given recent clashes between the White House and the judicial system over executive authority, this could further increase the political opposition to the President. The only way for the U.S. and Israel

Its a pattern. Friday's.

The U.S. and Israel have launched a joint military operation to overthrow the Iranian government—an escalation that will inevitably affect the entire energy security of the Middle East.

Day 58.

Wishing you all a morning filled with promise and possibility.

The Labour commitment to making every structural mistake the Tories did, including not working out how to effectively fight an intra-bloc challenger, is actually quite impressive.

So the Telegraph is taking this well

For it was the time of revolutions.

Also, I have little (if any) faith that signing petitions/online action that address wealth inequality are effective. The only language I understand is tangible work within local communities.
