That’s some A+ alt text work there

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Some certainly used to.

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

This is powerful. Center Iranian voices.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

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

And remember my friends

Fascinating

Let me re-introduce myself. And why our campaign is doing things differently.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ ! Sorry for a messy doodle, but remember you are loved!!!!!

Learning a second language can be hard. Signing up for Pre-K and 3-K is easy. Go to myschools.nyc to apply today. Deadline is tomorrow at midnight!

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

I'm in love with this commission of my FFXIV Paladin from @carmenfflv.bsky.social My friend put it best, it looks like a fantastic story book.

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Conferences are exhausting. Do you know how many people I’ve had to have real time conversations with? More than there are prime numbers that are even. UNBELIEVABLY exhausting.

As someone from a sikh family, that practices a faith that was literally founded on the basis of not being able to tolerate bullshit, it is against my religion to use generative AI and I have a letter from my mom to prove it

We have PhD positions open in my group at Macquarie for radial velocity exoplanet projects!

You should still get rid of your ring cameras.

I posted this on instagram last year for Valentine’s Day but it’s only become more obvious so I’m reusing it this year🫠

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

Minneapolis is in anarchy

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

I don’t consider the Bill of Rights “unrealistic.”

Good news: DHS may shut down next week due to lack of funding.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases: "Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

In today's installment of Old Lady Yells At Clouds:

Imagine if there was a murder in broad daylight. On video. And the killer got away. There’d be a nationwide manhunt. The U.S. government knows who killed Alex Pretti. They won’t say. And they’re actively hiding the suspect(s).

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The Japanese Communist Party shared this video telling voters what it stands for: •a society in which people get fair pay and healthcare •freedom, equality, and no unfair discrimination •taxing the ultra wealthy

Just sayin . . .

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

You have to be a morally depraved person to do this. You have to be a morally depraved person to support this. And the most morally depraved people among us are the ones who are completely ambivalent.

Concentration camps.

An article about this political moment, the role of journalism, and the very real dangers of state repression—told as a cheeky guide to buying a gas mask. I’ve been sending it to everyone; it both delights and horrifies me. Well done @sarahjeong.bsky.social www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.
