Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

One of the sure signs of the death of a software project after getting acquired is if the new owners are so spectacularly unimaginative that they rename it "<something> 360"

the easter bunny came last night and used it's ovipositor on me and i don't think that was a rabbit

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike May 1st, National Strike No work, no school, no shopping www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike. Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer. You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.

Fuck yeah. Abandon all assholes and read better books. #booksky

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Hey #entomology bluesky. Pls halp. I'm in the ohio valley, it's in the mid-thirties (F) outside. On the way to the grocery, we found a BEE (we think) on the windshield, sitting there, not smashed. Brought it in the car, it seemed dead but I was skeptical - and it's NOT #bees #insects

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Everything stupid feels threatening now

Checked in on X. The 3rd post I see is Stephen Miller, the 5th some chud babbling about crisis actors, 6th Elon Musk being a WS, 7th someone trying to spin this to be Nicole Good's fault. I have never interacted with or followed any people like this. It's a full tilt fascist propaganda bullhorn

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

I don't know if I can overstate how freakishly toxic and awful that other similar website has become. However bad you've seen it, it's worse now.

Correcting the claims in this post with facts is not only pointless but counterproductive This is unadultered fascism and fact-checking it won't defeat as Trump and co don't care about being right factually, they care about power These pointless "debates" only serve them as they distract us

Even by my own cynical standards, the world is sliding right harder and faster than I expected
