US and Israel bombed a public research university in Iran which was free for Iranian students. War crimes upon war crimes and no opposition party in site 😡

My friend Sama'a just wants to feed her family, but food is scarce and increasingly expensive in Gaza. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/157569

Right now, while your reps are back in your district, find out where they're hosting town halls and show up. Ask them to respond to this in person. If they're not doing that, call and ask why not. They get the holiday, but they don't get a full-press vacation. This is a working break.

INBOX: All 497 employees at Stone Mountain Park, the birthplace of the second Klan and Georgia's most visited attraction, received notice that they would be laid off because Aramark, a company infamously accused of "modern-day slavery" by using unpaid prison labor, has taken over operations:

This work is grueling. We haven't stopped despite threats and intimidation, tear gas wrecking our bodies, or anything else they send our way. We are 100% voluntarily reader supported. No big donors. No paywall. Monthly contributions help us sustain our reporting. We hope you'll consider us today:

A free Palestine is a disability justice issue. Never forgetting the time an able bodied person on Twitter once told me I was “gross” for “inserting” disability into the Palestinian cause. Gaza has the highest number of child amputees meanwhile.

I think the biggest crisis right now that most people are unaware of is the complex interlocking conflicts in the Horn of Africa (and Libya), and how they are fueled by the Gulf states projecting their rivalries into an important but broadly destabilized strategic arena.

The nexus is the Saudis, Egypt and Turkey mainly supporting state actors in Libya, Sudan and Somalia, and the UAE supporting the internal nonstate rivals, namely Haftar in Libya, the RSF in Sudan and Somaliland in Somalia. Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict is also a dangerous domino threatening to tip.

Since this ruling, I have heard from so many of my Jewish students about their fear that they could be put on a similar list, since our school has also been investigated by the government. They are so much more terrified of that than antisemitism on campus. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the invasion of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.

Oh fuck. I’ve been on LIHEAP, and it was lifesaving. That’s not hyperbolic, particularly with the way utility companies are moving these days. This is going to kill people, either from exposure or attempts to avoid it.

A U.S. Air Force F-16CJ is flying out of Iran/Iraq airspace and has squawked 7700— the universal code for a general in-flight emergency, indicating the crew is dealing with a serious issue.

Keep fighting it, everyone.

Criminalization is fascism’s indispensable fuel. Since criminalization determines people’s fates, we are all vulnerable. No matter whether it’s in vogue or not to organize to end prisons and jails, we must persist. Through the Warehouse exhibition+

foodbanks starting to run out of money and shut down. this won't be the only one as both demand and costs soar

At this point it seems like the purpose of Nuremberg was to prevent the Soviet Union from executing all the Nazis the US wanted to hire.

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

This is so, so well-articulated.

My car has depression (check engine light is on).

I wish people had the will to care about others and realize everyone is better off when they're fed, housed, and clothed.

Read them home! 💗💗💗 “The April 2nd online vigil will kick off a broader 30-day virtual reading challenge…The vigil focuses public attention on the human toll of the detention of immigrant families, while building momentum for nationwide action in the weeks ahead.”

Not even shocking when the lived reality of non-white people has always made abundantly clear the thinnest of veneers of tolerance for any space we take up. “Woke” white liberals have always made more space for these types than they have any Black person who doesn’t perform safety & assimilation.

We won’t evolve until we abolish oligarchs and stop allowing their narratives to hijack our programming. I think the best case scenario and not an unlikely one is that the sloppification of media could unravel celebrity culture and drive a renaissance of libraries, local art and theater.

Queen Latifah, give him strength!

Sleep deprivation is a classic tactic of psychological torture. It’s actually used as one in American and Israeli prison camps, and both countries have also used it in the form of loud drones at night to disturb locals in Gaza and Lebanon.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In rain, snow and bitter cold, a steady drumbeat of small protests have been held in recent months on the Ohio State University main campus with a single goal in mind: removing billionaire retail mogul Les Wexner’s name from buildings where it’s emblazoned.

Billionaires don’t get to make fun of someone for being unemployed. Especially when we all know Pam Bondi will be insulated from the realities of unemployment in this country because she spent her career protecting billionaires from the consequences of their actions.

You could fire the entire Trump cabinet, and it wouldn't be enough. We need real accountability for the harm that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Kristi Noem have done to our country and to our Constitution. We need justice, not another episode of the Apprentice.

Will the ladies of MAGA realize that they are simply a preferred tool in the weaponization of whiteness, not the ones being protected? They exist to please, serve, and insulate their masters from judgment and accountability. They may enjoy more comforts than others but they’re just glorified marks.

Nazis are assholes, including to each other. They will never love each other back lol www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I feel like worthwhile resistance movements are always going to be defined by radical expressions of creativity and love in pursuit of honoring our humanity and making it irresistible. We need consumers to value quality and community over convenience. Labor may be key in creating conditions for that

“A growing number of NHS staff are refusing to work on Palantir’s health data platform over ethical concerns about the controversial US tech company” Good www.ft.com/content/dbb6...

She should still be forced to testify under oath. Congress ain’t sick of this man playing in all of our faces?

USrael destroyed the Pasteur Institute of Tehran, an important centre for epidemic disease research & a main producers of vaccines in the ME. Established over 100 yrs ago by Dr. Sabbar Farmanfarmaian on land donated by his father Prince Farmanfarma. This is a crime against humanity.

I watched the launch and was as usual emotional because it’s such a scary and hard thing to do. And right now I’m thinking about the big claims being made, that this is an advancement for all of humanity, and Francis Bacon and his commitment to imperialism and the colonial aesthetic of his method

What’s often not in the translations of the Novum Organum is a fascimile of the cover page which is all IMPERIAL EXPLORE DOMINATE GO GO GO Anyway a straight line from this to Trump’s NASA, I tell ya

Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.

"...the U.S. Forest Service announced plans to move its headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City, Utah. It will also close or repurpose all nine of its regional offices, create 15 state offices, and shutter research and development facilities in more than 30 states." 1/

There are 6 Forest Service research stations that also manage research labs, 80 experimental forests, a forest product laboratory, & the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. This is the most extensive natural resource research operation in the world--a hidden crown jewel of our country. 2/

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

I’m so sick of phone carriers advance charges and invented fees and expecting you to let them just auto draft your account every month so they can rob you even more and pretend you’re saving money. It’s a racket and our government couldn’t care less that this is par for the course w all utilities.

Help Palestinians in Gaza stay connected with the world!!! Crips for eSIMS can no longer send new eSIMs due to a drop in donations. A five sponsors one eSIM for a month—and if you click "monthly," it's reliable connectivity for someone (and often their family!). Make a difference: bit.ly/esimsUK
