DOGE Boys Stood Athwart History, Then Their Robots Deleted It Come watch these idiots try and fail to explain themselves! By @marciej.bsky.social www.wonkette.com/p/doge-boys-...

@sevenstories.bsky.social is showing up in opposition to the war in Iran. They have put together a reading list and even are releasing Chris Hedges "A Genocide Foretold" for free. Check out the reading list. It is comprehensive. www.sevenstories.com/blogs/409-ha...

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

Here's the WHO explaining why the use of white phosphorus has been outlawed.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

Sorry for the deluge of posts, but I've been meaning to share this. It's not just oil held up in the Strait of Hormuz.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published Jan. 2026)

NYC City Council is holding a hearing on Wed March 18th to discuss the preliminary budget. We need YOUR VOICE to tell them to fund our libraries! You can testify over zoom, in person, or simply submit written testimony. Here's an easy summary of how : bit.ly/4beNTsH

Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. This week on Reveal, we team up with @kcrw.com to tell the story of the film the BBC didn't want you to see:

Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, a U.S. citizen from Skokie, spent nearly 30 hours in custody by federal immigration officials after she was detained at O’Hare Airport last week. She was later released out of a facility in Wisconsin. Naqvi's sister called the experience "terrifying."

No sign of regime instability and military history 101 tells us that no one has ever bombed a country into democracy carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Above my pay grade to check the math but this argues (with data) that even under US attack Iranian drone production can keep SoH closed for months causing inflation, food shortages and global recession. US is facing catastrophic strategic defeat policytensor.substack.com/p/why-the-us...

We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

This breaks my heart and makes me blindingly angry

This video shows real smoke over Tehran from Israeli strikes on oil depots & fuel facilities last night—confirmed by NYT, AP, Al Jazeera, Times of Israel. Black clouds from burning hydrocarbons—not normal sunrise.

Remember when the IDF had a squad dress up as medical personnel to enter a hospital and execute an injured man in his hospital bed

this is VERBATIM the same rhetoric Biden used at the start of the Palestinian genocide. it’s really wild seeing this all happen again.

www.aljazeera.com/features/202... israel meanwhile deciding as it does whenever there is any amount of opening that it is a great time to destroy beirut

removepaywalls.com/https://www.... black corrosive rain will surely produce a land safe for democracy. Bombs work so well compared to, a humane refugee policy

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... the spin on this article may be pro war; i do not support my government bombing iran. I also just feel miserable thinking about the struggle of people on the ground whose efforts for freedom are met with violence from militias and then bombs from “liberators”

One of the books that changed my perspective on the world and many things, was as a teenager reading John Hershey’s Hiroshima. This might not be the same type of Black Rain that was produced by the Atomic Bomb, but this is close. The Fascist US and its allies have committed war against humanity.

Alien kids

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

Senator Markey 🎯

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime. And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

Pearls before swine and all of that.

This is pretty shocking even by the standards of modern racist politicians. Directly attacking a member of the press no less

On top of the concentration camps, kidnapping, and murders, the news now reports ICE is buying microwave tech to kill the car engines of first amendment legal observers. And Democrats are still not even asking to claw back the 2025 budget increases.

The usa directly or indirectly causing death by war everywhere from sri lanka to beirut sure seems like a great recipe for international relations huh

Update: American Marines were among the security personnel who opened fire on protesters by the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday, where 10 people were killed.

I would just quit after this.

This is the first ship sank by an American submarine since WW2. Unrestricted submarine warfare is a violation of the Geneva Convention and a war crime.

I ain't reposting Jesse Singal onto the TL but it is truly hilarious to see that little shitbird try and do a "I'm just a simple country transphobe" act by bemoaning how many people with "fancy letters and titles after their names" (IE doctors and lawyers and scientists) who disagree with him

Rereading the lathe of heaven on the train and i do think it continues to be my favorite le guin book and her most directly prescient re masculinity, white knuckle grip on power and the trap we are in unless we exit our need for control

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

so the whole concept of this company is “What if we made the Lathe of Heaven but for insider trading?”

daring thing to say but not only does the archetypal father not exist but personally i think men, in terms of a positivist masculinism, dont even exist. all of thats fake

this is what would happen when you took your effeminate son to the largest clinical study of childhood gender variance in the 1970s just by the way

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

I think the takeaway a lot of people are missing is that the state is keeping a database of trans folks by tracking everything from gender markers to name changes and attaching corresponding flags to their record. It should be pretty evident where they're going with this:

NEW: In Minneapolis, @cameronoakes.bsky.social and Sam Donndelinger report, ICE’s Operation Metro Surge is preventing Latino patients from accessing HIV care. This story was produced in collaboration with @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social, an investigative LGBTQ-focused nonprofit news publication.

If you have three minutes and live in NYC, you should read this about our public libraries. sevenstories.substack.com/p/guest-post...

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts

As one Saudi official put it to Aljazeera: "America has abandoned us, and focused its defense systems on protecting Israel, leaving the Gulf states that host its military bases at the mercy of Iranian missiles and drones."
