Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

I will destroy her

All hail Weather, it is always happening.

Polite reminder that police can swear all they want about whatever, but with qualified immunity and no duty to protect, they can watch lCE murder you and/or shoot you in the face, claim they felt threatened, and walk away with full paid benefits.

A really difficult aspect of leftist organizing in the US is that we rarely have the funds to institutionalize our movements, and as a consequence our wisdom is rarely institutionalized and preserved. It's hard watching this happen over and over again when it comes to talking about war.

somehow had not ever ridden in a Tesla until last night and wow what a hunka junk!! everything feels a little thin and flimsy. it's like a fake car. i needed to be told how to open the door when entering and exiting lol just a real symphony of industrial design and engineering

I could really do with never hearing about nazi tattoo guy ever again this is not a ‘don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ situation it’s an ‘at baseline could we not support candidates with nazi/rightwing connections’ situation.

WE HIT OUR FIRST GOAL IN 25 MIN!!!! anyway here's wonderwall

Timeline clense

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist. It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

Now that we’re bombing brown people that live on same continent again I feel like my sons death at the hands of US military incompetence was all worth it.

I find the news very frightening right now, but one thing that helps me is noticing the birds all around me Do you want a reason to spend 10 minutes a day noticing your local birds? Then join me for this spring’s #TenMinMerlin, using the (free) app Merlin to notice birds. No experience needed! 1/5

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

Scouting America says transgender kids are still welcome after Pete Hegseth claimed they weren’t- "We have transgender people in our program, and we’ll have transgender people in our program going forward,” the group's CEO, Roger Krone, said. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

IT'S ALMOST TIME

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Skeleton Abduction Blanket. Skeletons used to roam the Earth, but aliens came and abducted them all. They did this because the bones are their money. collabs.shop/casj9w

🙄

There are over 500 million privately owned firearms in the US. If people were trying to take out ICE agents they wouldn’t be using their cars.

At the same time, we need to recognize that the whole system is set up to lure economically vulnerable people into enlistment and trap them there. These are hard-won lessons of previous iterations of anti-war movement. Protest the recruiters, not the already-recruited.

I don't believe in any gods. But I do believe in Dolly Parton.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

“Given the stakes,” the analysis said, “getting immigration policy right isn’t optional ― it’s existential.”

Uh oh fox mating action in the backyard.

Fig bush that I brought inside for the winter is making a comeback. I know this is what they do(tm), but it is fun having a couple of sticks in a pot and then one day I walk into the room and there are buds and leaves and new sticks!

“Age-checking-related data collection poses the very threats that COPPA is designed to address, and we have already seen age estimation systems having issues with data breaches and leaks,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @TheVerge.com. www.theverge.com/policy/8855...

I don’t get the impulse some people have, when they learn about a dogwhistle they weren’t aware of, to argue & be like “It’s not a dog whistle because I’ve never heard of it!” as if that isn’t literally what a dogwhistle is. It’s ok to not know something, as long as you’re open to learning!

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.

“Famous Iranian Filmmakers and Their Contributions to World Cinema” surfiran.com/mag/famous-i... I saw a few films on here I been meaning to watch, so figured I’d share the list…

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

Uh oh

A befuddling loss: Iowa men’s basketball team falls at last-place Penn State, 71-69

what

I hope @katmabu.bsky.social kicks their asses.

So I am still trying to finish Baldur’s Gate 3 with all the people and I “accidentally” killed all the guards from the vaults because I want to know if there is fun loot in here.

All true but it's frustrating that we might have been spared a lot of this but for the Lancet publishing Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent study in 1998

Guys, you’re still trying to replace Big Boat Stuck. told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.

I would like my tax dollars to feed children instead of burning and incinerating their skeletons actually ???!

the enemy of my enemy is still a fuckin' fascist

I keep wondering how we got here. Not just the cruelty and bigotry, but the sheer stupidity. And then I remember that only about half of americans read above a 6th grade level, and 42% don't know potato chips are made with potatoes. One of the stupidest timelines in history.

It feels like the United States has the most solipsistic culture imaginable, with a populace unable to parse global events through any lens other than how they are personally affected.

If “Wait, Wait” is preempted on your station due to breaking news, you can find it as a podcast. Great ep from from the campus of IU (not UI) in Bloomington, IN with Olympic champion Lily King. There are farts.

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

the cotton gin did not end slavery. it allowed for cotton to be processed more quickly.
