Not a single one of these psychos cares even a little bit about the people being bombed. I hate them all

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

There are so many people who see these horrors with Trump as the root cause, but no, he isn't. He is simply the symptom and current incarnation of a nation founded on genocide and built on the mass graves of people all over the world as a result of American exploitation, greed, and hate.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Trump called for the US military to use US cities as "training grounds" to prepare for overseas wars. From Minneapolis to Iran, we face the same enemies. Rival warlords attempting to assert control over collapsing empires—that is becoming the dominant form of governance. crimethinc.com/IranWar2026

I’m thinking of TLJ in a different way. Rian Johnson was already doing something more by broadening the world with the focus on class, but now I’m thinking he was prescient.

STOP FUCKING CALLING THEM BRAVE

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

The trash that occupies the White House (and any legislator failing to act to stop him) is bombing children in Iran. This is intolerable. The time for mass mobilization is now. Join an org, get into the streets, contact your reps. No war on Iran.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

This statement is appallingly bad--like, the administration *illegally bombed a school.* It's mind-boggling to me for this to be the reaction from a human, much less a purported leader of the Democratic Party. I need a new senator stat

From The Archives:

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

I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command. The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external). It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

The angle of "the Iran strikes are bad bc they didn't ask Congress for permission" reminds me of the Norm Macdonald bit about people saying "the hypocrisy" of Bill Cosby's actions was "the worst part." Macdonald:"I disagree. I think all the raping was the worst part."

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Capitalism is the preferred tool by a network of pedophile billionaires to rule the planet & impoverish you, why do so many centrists still insist on supporting it? Consider instead the beliefs the wealthy have tried to train you to be afraid of: Socialism. Communism. Anarchism. Total Liberation.

Once again, excellent, important brass tacks reporting from Marisa.

Some excellent headlines from the April 1963 National Eagle, the Portland, OR newspaper edited by the future chair of the Oregon Republican Party.

The anti-Communist who published this article about how unfair it was that people called him a racist or a fascist or part of a "hate group" was a pro-Hitler Silver Shirt in the 1930s who then went on to become a Holocaust-denying white nationalist who sent campaign donations to David Duke in 1991.

1963

To repeat, this is the newspaper edited by the person who would be elected chair of the OR GOP in 1978. White Christian Nationalism has been with us a long time folks.

"The computer cannot find out so the computer must not be allowed to fuck around." Giving it control of kinetic weapons or nukes seems like a way to find out. See the popular film:

Ayyy we’ve now 3d printed and shipped over ONE MILLION community protection whistles! Want some? linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Portland can begin levying fines against the owner of the South Portland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building each time its tenants release chemical munitions into the neighborhood.

Also we do not clown Facebook enough for CHANGING ITS NAME TO FUCKING META FOR THE METAVERSE MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

This is genuinely one of the best reasoned pieces of writing on US-Taiwan relations by anyone running for Congress I’ve seen in recent years. Even as someone who believes that strategic ambiguity has value in 2026. Everyone, go check out @katmabu.bsky.social!

I don’t know, dudes, what is every city without billionaires, which is many many cities in the country and the world? I’m not saying you can’t debate the economic impacts, but framing this as if the presence of billionaires drives *the identity of a city* is, frankly, extremely goofy.

I don't often say this about Missouri laws but I wouldn't have a problem with this being the rule nationwide. www.live5news.com/2026/02/27/right-thing-do-bill-would-require-drunk-drivers-pay-child-support-after-killing-parent

this is fucking beautiful y'all that's over $10k for emergency cash support for BIPOC trans folks in Portland plus a combined $15k+ to keep ICE-impacted Twin Cities families fed and in their homes sometimes the world is a really good place, actually

the reason conservatives treat "cancelled for their conservative views" and "cancelled for being a sex pest and rapist" the same is that "powerful men should be allowed to rape their subordinates" *is* a conservative view

The purpose of this website is to help unburden your brain by releasing horrible sentences that live in there like demons

Oregonians like Adina R. shared their first-hand accounts of federal overreach at the Portland ICE facility a few weeks ago – which allowed us to take legal action. We submitted evidence earlier this month and will be in court next week to stand up for Oregon’s laws.

The government illegally took your money. They won’t give it back.

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
