In some news from my side of the ocean, I'm beginning to think my neighbours have a pyromania streak because someone else's apartment across the street is currently alight...

Oh my fucking god, not this one again

"...I needed a new lace for m'sneaker. So I decided to go to Leningrad, which is what they called St Petersburg in those days. So I rolled my jeans up, which was the style at the time..."

update: this morning I nicked my neck in such a way that it looks like I tried to slit my throat but pussied out right as I began to slice...

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

So why are we... why are we using a photo from the '92 LA riots, then?

Israel has killed or injured more than 10 percent of Gaza's population over the past 24 months.

Mars was the Roman god of war. That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.' Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices. That’s why we have Marshall’s.

I will never let anyone gaslight me into thinking eating ice cubes is a sign of anemia ❤️

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be. Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

I’m. So. Tired. I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Not so much a Harvest Moon here as it was a Cloudy Moon...

“Come and See” is a 1985 Soviet epic historical anti-war tragedy directed by Elem Klimov and starring Aleksei Kravchenko and Olga Mironova. It depicts the historical reality without embellishment and is recognized worldwide as one of the most important films about the war.

Greta Thunberg and the other people released from the Global Sumud Flotilla need to put a documentary together on their time in Israeli detention and show the world what Israel is really like.

there is a major lack of pumpkin spice latte around here and i am STRUGGLING to fulfil my inner basic white girl

I hope Democrats understand that if and when they get back to power, defaulting to “unity” politics and empty reconciliation without any real accountability would not only be morally abhorrent, but also politically suicidal: The desire for at least some semblance of justice will be overwhelming.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thinking about how human cloning technology could be used to not only revive famous musical acts, but make them even better. Just imagine Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Stills, Stills, Nash, Young & Young

This is bad, our electeds are not going to use anything other than media appearances and strongly worded letters to stop it, and we need to protect each other. Please 1) go outside, 2) find someone watching a corner during school drop off, 3) ask them how you can help.

The second wave of the Freedom Flotilla are 200 nautical miles from Gaza

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mickey is here bragging about killing children and ethnic cleansing.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

I grow not so fond of the new notifications-for-repost-likes whenever I forget I'm stalking someone on here and accidentally like/repost something they reposted....

Israel’s far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, boasted about the harsh prison conditions and mistreatment of international activists detained from a Gaza aid flotilla. I “was proud that we treat flotilla activists as terror supporters,” he said in official statement

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

this holiday season, have you considered giving your friends and loved ones copies of Parasite Eve (PS1, 1998)? Parasite Eve (PS1, 1998) is a good and wholesome gift for kids from age 4 to 94. everyone is delighted to get a copy of Parasite Eve (PS1, 1998).

Has anyone here ever gotten a baby carrier for their cat? Asking because I'm considering resorting to one for Blanket

The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' : "[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

I'd like to seal England in a giant glass dome and never hear from anyone inside it again

About 1 in 4 U.S. adults worry they or someone close to them could be deported, according to a June @pewresearch.org survey.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Jesus fucking christ.

Absolutely heinous.

Heaven hath no glory like the first shave with a new razor blade...

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Signalgate 2.0, this time not about plans for attacking Houthis in Yemen, but sending the 82nd Airborne to Portland, Oregon
