Continued rumors about US special forces trying to seize Iranian islands. There is no way they could hold these islands for any meaningful amount of time. Recent days have made clear Iran will strike hard where red lines are crossed. This won’t end well x.com/sinatoossi/s...

The community policing here is admirable lmao. Get them Army recruiters OUT YALL HOOD

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

Even disregarding the moral aspect, this is a idiotic strategy by europe. It could stick to its principles of international law, to which it has configured itself for, and harped on about, for decades. Instead it's drifting backwards into an anarchic order it's completely unprepared for.

Even the Russian draft doesn’t criticise Israel It’s time to consider the possibility that if literally noone is on Iran’s side, maybe Iran is going about things the wrong way…

The Security Council is currently in emergency session to consider 2 drafts abt the war against Iran. 1 put fwd by the GCC states & 1 put fwd by Russia. The GCC draft condemns Iran's actions but says NOTHING about the Israel/US aggression against Iran www.securitycouncilreport.org/whatsinblue/...

France is speaking now at the UN, depicting the entire war as being the fault of Iran. All of it. The Europeans, w/the exception of Spain, are wholly corrupt and utterly without principle. They threaten intl peace & security just like the US/Israel do. bsky.app/profile/msja...

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low. At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless: “An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.” (Published April 2025)

The war in Iran is the direct result of capitalism. So are billionaires and the child trafficking they do. So is unemployment and the supressed minimum wage. Climate change? Yep. AI taking over? Yep. We need UBI yesterday, and with the rate of change of the world there is no 'too soon'.

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

I feel like I’ve had to be loudly anti-war since I was 19.

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished. She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted. A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.

Paramedics reported that officer Erin Perrotta declined treatment [while] in the ambulance. “I am fine, I just needed to get out of [there],” she said, according to the report. Oh.

Reporting on the horrific direct strike on several residential buildings in eastern Tehran. This isnt just a story of carnage - it is also a story of neighbors and passers by rushing to the scene to try and save people trapped under the rubble www.dropsitenews.com/p/tehran-str...

Bahrain is teetering following the assassination of Ali Khamanei and Bahrain's role as a key site for U.S. military assets in the region. Protests have been ongoing since Feb 28. Bahrain has responded by calling in foreign troops to quell domestic dissent capitalandempire.com/p/bahrain-im...

Study: Nearly two years after Chicago Public Schools removed police officers from campuses and implemented a new holistic approach to school safety, officials believe that shift could serve as a replicable model for school districts across the country.

BREAKING: ABC News, citing sources: The United States is facing difficulty evacuating its personnel from facilities under bombardment in Iraq

Just now off the Senate floor: Susan Collins gets into an elevator. Chuck Schumer walks into that elevator behind her. Susan Collins quickly walks out before the door closes and looks for another elevator.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

You know where I stand already. No MAGA imperialism, no forever wars, no war with Iran.

This President’s agenda needs to be opposed at every possible opportunity. Democrats must choose: Do we want to give Trump a blank check to kill countless people in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and across the entire Middle East, or do we want to be a real opposition party?

Less than a quarter of Americans support the US-Israeli war in Iran, but legacy Jewish establishment groups like the ADL, AIPAC, and the Jewish Federations are throwing their weight behind this unpopular war, and they’re falsely claiming to speak in the name of all American Jews while doing so.

the fact that the Iran war has like 85% approval in Israel, and only 21% approval in the US, really solidifies this point

“A university that sits on a one billion dollar endowment does not get to reinvent Catholic Social Teaching…Catholic Social Teaching for over a century has repeatedly affirmed that the common good requires unions.” —Jeremy Cruz, St. John’s University AAUP Equity Officer and Professor of Theology

The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...

Oh man how did I miss this one?? theonion.com/christ-conve...

& this is the perfect response to trans questions, because it also slams the media for playing along - all dems should learn from this

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

@nycplan.org is calling on the @council.nyc.gov to fund at our public libraries at 0.5% of the city's expense budget. Please send them a letter if you live in NYC supporting this demand: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

This is what solidarity looks like. @psc-cuny.org stands shoulder to shoulder with St. John’s University in their fight to maintain faculty union representation and collective bargaining rights on campus.

The premise of the article is that the NYT is institutionally anti-Muslim, particularly anti-Muslim-mayor, and is bitter and resentful that their instructions not to vote for him were not heeded, so they are now on a mission to prove themselves right about him.

Under normal conditions this would be the end of the Trump presidency. www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Iran sends millions of oil barrels to China through Strait of Hormuz even as war chokes the waterway, CNBC reports

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.

Witkoff keeps calling but Iran is refusing to answer x.com/BabakVahdad/...

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad. Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

The Phantom Menace was still a bad film. Living through an even shittier remake of it *really* fucking sucks. (Alt text for quoted skeet - George Lucas with his arms crossed, staring directly into the camera.)

The strike in a densely populated area appears to be another attempted assassination, with no information yet on target.

Americans may want to listen to this.

🚨URGENT: Trump's UNHINGED DHS pick—Markwayne Mullin—confirmation hearing tentatively set for next week! He defends ICE fatally shooting citizens, backs expelling US-born kids, objected to 2020 election results. Tell your Senators: BLOCK this nomination!

one more time: our problem is not polarization. our problem is fascism. "polarization is the problem" is literally the thesis of Birth of a Nation. it has long been a white supremacist justification for fascism in the US. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/our-proble...

And to be clear I don’t think that means an entire generation is screwed or full of bad people, in fact I think a lot about the kids who are trying to do their best and be moral in a world that teaches them to be immoral
