I've had multiple people message tonight about some Zio proganda fest on the ABC and I gotta say I'm pretty ok with having no idea what the fuck they were talking about. Just cut the cord already, why would you ever listen to habitually news that lies about genocide and war?
When Trump claimed Iran bombed their own girls school, seems like a good follow up Q would be - βdid they bomb their own hospitals also?β
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
The United States murdered defenseless Iranians at Sea and left them to drown, which is a war crime. We seem to be doing a lot of war crimes nowadays. Maybe Pete hegseth needs to stand trial of The Hague
kinda wild to realise that all the checks and balances of american democracy were really just thoughts and prayers all along
"Pre-emptive strike" is and always has been propaganda speak for "we started another war"
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
Itβs a dumb and naiive question, but how is it that our governments act in their interests, not ours?
What do we do about that?
Yep, he is a dud π
Of course they have π
Couldnt agree more Helen. Showers can be do soothing.
Itβs the Jeffrey Epstein War
A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.
Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?
Me neither.
Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Satire is so terrifying now
A bit perplexed at the headlines about todayβs #marchforhumanity saying βperilousβ and βpolice feared the worstβ. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.
He is a climate change denier ! "Conservative family values" is code for all sorts of "othering" and discrimination, often. I suspect he is not Labor aligned at all.
Solidarity with everyone protesting in Sydney and Melbourne today. Thank you for standing up to prove to our government that this is not a fringe issue. Australians do not accept being forced to be complicit with this genocide.

Dementia specialist, tap dancer, saxophonist, author, city councillor, veteran doctor, professor β George Razay has quite the resume. Now, he has added Tasmanian Member of Parliament to the list. Who is he, and what does he stand for?
She is also leading on points, so it won't hurt her in the race or rankings.

Cotton as the base layer is fine unless you go out exercising in cold weather, because the cotton doesn't wick like wool does and can cause rashes/chafing (unfortunately I have first hand experience).
Note to governments: If you appoint a lobbyist to a publicly-funded official role, nothing they produce will have any credibility and neither will you.
That's an insult to dills
