War crimes!!! International humanitarian law prohibits attacks on civilian objects. The Geneva Conventions, specifically Articles 51 and 52. Article 52 defines civilian objects as anything that does not make an "effective contribution to military action." Attacking them is prohibited.

People turned up in Turkey’s Kadıköy in the rain yesterday to protest the jailing of journalists İsmail Arı, Alican Uludağ, and many others. Demonstrators were met with a police barricade. Turkey ranked 159 out of 180 in 2025 RSF press freedom index. www.birgun.net/haber/no-bar...

From @jayapal.house.gov: “I warned Biden and Harris directly: Our silence on Gaza was morally, legally, and politically wrong. We were told it wasn't in the data. That wasn't strategy – it was risk aversion dressed up as wisdom. Democrats cannot make that same mistake again this midterm season.”

No ICE. No war. No Kings. #nokings

‘Habermas first lit my path as a critical theorist. I remain deeply grateful for that. But over the years the light he cast flickered and waned – until, with his stance on Gaza, it seemed to go out.’ Nancy Fraser on the philosopher, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ma...

that feels like something you say when you're wearing a wire

New York Times with their finger on the pulse.

The “middle class” has always been a flimsy pseudo-sociological analytic category. The “Epstein class,” on the other hand, is real: an ethnocentric network of wealth, protection, and access moving through business and government. i.e. the Mafia.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

The Internet has turned into a sad story.

Trump, pumped up on his Venezuelan “victory” lap, thought he could run the same play on Iran. Fast, furious, done. It didn’t work. Now he looks like Netanyahu’s useful idiot, and even MAGA is waking up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fact: The Metaverse Was a $100 Billion Flop. The Epstein Class: "Zack is a genius!"

Exactly.

ICE has been hacked! And you can explore the data, which includes every DHS contract, in this convenient new tool micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts

Removing pride flags from public view “suppresses free speech on campus” and is “just one of a growing number of disappointing choices by the administration to contradict the values it purports to champion." —Joseph Harris, Boston University AAUP

“After 9/11 the specter of the Islamofascist identified a new enemy of the U.S. imperium, the figural Jew again needing to be saved—this time in the form of the state of Israel. If civil rights fascism is the logic of the new anti-antisemitism, human rights imperialism is this logic applied abroad.”

Is Netanyahu's plan to squeeze America dry?

Apparently, with the approval of the US, Israel and Turkey collaborated behind closed doors to get the "new" Syrian regime in place. Now, it's payback time.

Amazing! ✊🏾

just plainly evil.

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

What an amazing figure! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Jürgen Habermas, one of the most important sociologists, has died. Unfortunately, he betrayed his own universalist position on modernity and civil society by supporting Israel's gienozi1de, and committing intellectual suicide with extreme banality way before his ultimate death at the age of 96. Sad.

In a non-US context, when you call someone "liberal," it is usually an insult, fyi!

Palantir CEO promises that his technology will reduce educated women's economic and political power newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

the "most moral" army

As chair of the Board of Peace, with a lifetime appointment, Trump determines the council’s membership, chooses the executive board, and has the final say on all things.

They need a black face to whitewashe war crimes, perhaps!

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’ https://theonion.com/netanyahu-these-so-called-genocide-experts-have-probably-never-committed-a-genocide-in-their-lives/

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

Trump is bombing Iran the right way. by Ezra Klein

- "100s of school kids were killed by Israel." - Ezra Klein: Let's talk about rising anti-semitism because of those deaths.

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist. It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

The DEI of it.

They're calling them 'Epstein's Angels'

Not surprised! Only 23% of registered American voters could correctly locate Iran on a blank world map

@sanders.senate.gov has always been the sane voice in the US!

Clintons are evil. No matter what you say!

again and again: There is no democracy w/o secularism.

State of the Union addresses have always felt like cheaply produced high school plays to me. Unfortunate for this country.

Increase real estate taxes for owners of more than 6 units of housing in NYC. @mayor.nyc.gov

I will not vote for @gavinnewsom.bsky.social the way that I did not for Kamala. These pro-genocide people work against the working classes.

Your religion suffocates me.

No one is as cool as an immigrant arriving in New York for the first time in their life. 😽

imho, Arab, Kurdish, Turkish, Armenian artists from SWAsia should stop seeking Western approval. It looks pathetic. Western audiences/institutions selectively care about our issues, even though these struggles are deeply connected. We need to learn how to talk to each other and not seek validation.😘

It is mind-boggling that Leon Botstein still holds his job, and the Bard faculty remains quiet!

+ Many so-called “non-profit” shelter operators run on massive public contracts and corporate-style structures. Executive pay can reach into the high six- or seven-figure range.

not the most comfortable conversation...but no one I'd rather have it with than @arielleangel.bsky.social
