If you haven't read this piece yet, please do. "I am disgusted to know that my tax dollars are being spent to bomb my ancestral homeland. I was sickened to wake up to messages from family members telling me that the city where they live was under attack from the country where I live."

I received a letter that I was among those caught in the data breach of Conduent. One year credit monitoring ain’t gonna cut it. They need to give every individual $1000 for each breach & see if that changes things.

Adulthood is just getting letters from a company that you've never heard of, telling you they leaked your data that you didn't know they had, and including a multi-step to-do list for you to protect the data that they did not.

"If Refaat and Wafa did not create spaces for writers to report their people’s suffering, who would speak for the dead? What horrors would remain untold? This work cost them their lives, but they left behind a generation of young writers who have the courage to tell the truth."

Despite the short notice, there are quite a few people out. Had to leave to get back for Iftar but what a relief to actually see how many people are furious. #StopTheWarOnIran

I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

Hiking along the North Fork of the American River at Auburn State Recreation Area.

I don’t know what my point is but the government killed 100 children on the first day of bombings and there are members of Congress still supporting more bombings and that is a grotesque level of inhumanity I cannot reckon with.

Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."

No more fucking war.

Thanks for the narration. I assume that Democrats in Congress will be issuing some strongly worded letters addressed to no one? Well Democrats not named Schumer at least?

Today’s seniors are not sitting at home knitting sweaters for their grandkids — we are engaging in civil resistance with passion and determination in many meaningful ways.

I still don’t understand why they’re getting away with branding their product as akin to analytics when it’s just Wikileaks for insider trading on world events. Discord drops for bulk buying toilet paper and iodine tablets.

Federal prisons will no longer allow inmates access to gender affirming care.

nothing they do makes any sense unless you focus on the fact that they have nothing approaching a belief or policy or worldview except a wish for their revolving door of perceived ‘enemies’ to suffer + a total lack of regard for human life. and then everything they do makes sense.
