itโ€™s not talked about enough that this kind of consolidation, paired with paramountโ€™s promises to lower its debt, will lead to THOUSANDS of people losing their jobs. they are actively wiping out the creative class & what remains of middle class wealth in the process.

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.

But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

i'm just a gay guy who makes drawings that are sometimes postable, but please: if there isn't anything else to have been learned from the 00s, there is no possible justification for another american war. there wasn't a "right way" for the government to have done this. it's all evil all the way down

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

To their credit, @nolympicsla.bsky.social has been clear-eyed from the very beginning that sports mega-events like the Olympics embolden & further empower ICE. It's right there in one of their logos.

Frustrating hearing โ€œnobody caresโ€ and โ€œAmericans are so disengagedโ€. Itโ€™s a disservice to the many, many activists and orgs who are indeed fighting to make things better. Immediate drastic change would be nice, but itโ€™s the consistent work that actually builds longterm change. Help do that work.
