I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

i love asymmetric warfare

An unabashed racist I met in undergrad married an American Indian. He said he did it to "civilize" her. I don't have an opinion on Platner being "a Nazi antisemite," but pointing to a dude's spouse is just not persuasive evidence to anyone who's met dudes and/or is aware of the US divorce rate

Voters fighting voters for not voting the correct way, meanwhile both parties are still like:

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup. This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

Went out to CC Slaughters for their gear night on Saturday. Much as blacklight was available, didn’t see much glow outside the UV reactive ink. But going to the free BBQ at the Eagle on Sunday, a quick minute or so walk from a my car to the bar charges my hood enough to glow in the dim bar 😅

My pup brain has the zoomies now 😅😋

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric. So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

It took me forever to decide on what I wanted tattooed on my body and I’m still looking for an artist for an “Imposter Bubbles” tattoo (not to mention the money for it 😅) It’ll be a matching tattoo with my sisters.

Even if Platner isn’t an antisemite (he absolutely is), if your judgement is so fucking bad that you REGULARLY do an antisemitic whoopsie because it has never occurred to you to just fucking look something up then you ARE NOT FIT FOR OFFICE.

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

Actually surprised that Mills's oppo people took this long to dig it up and it kind of suggests that the DNC are not spending enough resources following extremists to see what they're up to

For the youngsters and those who are only recently politically activated or who may have forgotten, a reminder of what we can expect regarding dead troops: Remember, they will be willing to obscure and lie to us about almost any detail relating to dead troops.

I loved Drum and Bugle Corps so much, I was willing to enlist in the Marines Corps Band. Getting paid to play music and march?! Fuck yes! All it took was “wait, you’re still training me to kill”? Their answer was “yes”, my answer was “bye”. Not gonna live my dream by killing others.

I hate the current regime in the United States, but also would not be thrilled about an indiscriminate bombing campaign, orchestrated by a country in another hemisphere

Imagine throwing this up on as the single mention of any deaths today on your landing page. 201 people, minimum, among them dozens of children, all massacred in the first series of strikes on Iran. At minimum. And they run 1 death in Israel as their singular coverage... CNN is fucking shameless.

staying offline today, but all I'll say is: Gaza was the test. Gaza was the precedent. Everyone that failed to speak out or condemn it is now seeing the cost of their silence.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

It doesn't make sense for me to ask the tiger not to eat me; It WANTS to do it. I'm not saying it can't help itself, I'm saying why would it? So instead of asking the thing that is actively hurting me to please stop, I'm asking the person responsible for stopping it to stop it.

My…mostly successful attempt at a pudding cake 😅 If you can’t tell by the powdered sugar, I had no more effort to give in decorating. A great recipe that’s better done in ramekins. The cake pan recommendation was mostly a lava cake that required about twice the baking and without the water.

hot take but it was obvious back in 2024 that Trump and his orbit were lying about being the “peace candidate” but the Democrats couldn’t effectively counter that because they were too busy making excuses for genocide and yammering about how we gotta be the “most lethal fighting force on the planet”

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28. Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier. The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

At this point, just need this song readily available for news updates. “Millennials Living Through Another Disaster” by Anesti Danelis

Israel has closed all the crossings into Gaza and reimposed total siege.

How many times do we have to say this but: dead people do not come back. Dead children do not come back. Death is permanent. What happens in 3 months means fuck all to the deaths happening RIGHT NOW

You have infinitely more in common with everyone brutalized by a government than you do with any government

If your rep is complaining about the lack of permission sought to bomb Iran over or instead of the actual bombing of children, they’re not opposed to said bombing of children. They’re merely upset they didn’t get to take part.

People wonder why I spend more time talking about how to move Democrats left and get them to step up to meet the moment instead of worrying about the Republicans, but this is basically why 👇 Republicans cannot be reasoned or negotiated with on any level whatsoever. They have to be actually STOPPED.

it's not even 10am and I've already seen so many braindead "this wouldn't happen if people voted" posts. you stupid motherfuckers obama hit a wedding procession with a drone strike and kamala wouldn't even take a stance against genocide. capitalism and imperialism will always lead to this.

Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches. This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.

Once again.

leading the charge against antisemitism by endorsing the criminal actions of a deeply unpopular president in pursuit of a war deeply unpopular with the american people on behalf of a country that interferes in u.s. elections in support of right-wing extremists

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

There are no words for how evil this is

Democrats dislike Trump but appear to like what he does which tells me that generally speaking their lack of resistance to his regime at the federal level is based on their willingness to - like with W Bush - assume the high ground while letting the fascists do the dirty work.

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-countr...

Stop. Collect yourself. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Unclench your jaw. Stretch your fingers. Relax. Relate. Release. If just getting up is all you can do and thats okay too. But try to find something resembling your own peace. I hope you have a decent day.

At the dawn of the nuclear age, the US embarked on a propaganda effort called “Atoms for Peace” to change the way the public viewed the new nuclear technology, emphasizing non-military uses. As part of this push, the US gave Iran its first nuclear reactor and supplied the uranium for its operation.

non negotiable purity tests for the politicians: First 100 days: Abolish ICE+Tribunals+release victims Full Trans Rights Prosecute The Entire Nazi Regime first term goals: Repeal patriot, hs, telcom acts, crime bill defund, demilitarize police medicare for all housing for all education for all

A lot of obvious stuff in this poll (people want Dems to act with more conviction and stop tearing their ACLs trying to reach across the aisle), but the thing I learned is that Republicans are viewed as the elitist ones now! Run with that! Usain Bolt with that shit!
