This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

“Holding the line is exhausting. The victories are small and the setbacks are devastating….Hope is understanding that the line we hold today creates and protects the space where tomorrow’s resistance will grow. And sometimes, against all odds, that resistance succeeds.”—@leilaseiitbek.bsky.social
We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.
Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
We're still at $500/1000 raised, please help me share this if you can! I'm trying to do what we can for these families, but the local folks I have helping are spread super thin.
It's absolutely surreal how no one is talking about the Iran war in daily life. No one is discussing it and they seem oblivious. This conflict is spiraling and deteriorating in a way that it will substantially disrupt daily life for most of the world for the first time in decades.
(and, as Meredith says)
A picture of Ibrahim. He looks sad.
A picture of what looks like Ibrahim's back. There are rashes and a bad looking mark on it. (I am not a doctor I am sorry)
A picture of Ibrahim at a makeshift clinic inside a tent. The doctor/nurse is listening to his chest with a stethoscope.
A picture of Ibrahim and Bara'a in the sunshine. Bara'a has a mask on. Ibrahim is holding a bag of medicines, possibly purchased with your help. Palestinians need our support!

If you are following the news on Iran, here's a live video grid with coverage from BBC News, NBC, AJE and Sky News. vidgrid.tk.gg?layout=N4IgN...
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

The author of the worlds strangest book, claims that a cat wrote it.
He said that a stray white cat walked into his studio & telepathically told him what to write, so the cats the real author.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
Welp
This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
The long 2010s are finally over
We have to address the donkey in the room. It’s not just Republicans who got us here.
We need to hold our party accountable if we want any progress.
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Wow.
