Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together 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...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Im 38 and have never known a day in my life where the dems and republicans weren't salivating at the chance to bomb Iran. The amount of lies and propaganda we've been fed for decades was always going culminate into this.

Solidarity with the people of Iran forever.

It breaks my heart to imagine the terror our government subjected this man to. Threatened in a language he couldn't understand, tased by thugs he couldn't see, and then left to die in the Buffalo winter.

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

Recurring pattern: The US makes policy choices that have massive policy consequences for other countries, but rate at best a couple days of domestic news coverage. Then a decade or two later we’re utterly baffled that people in those places despise us. www.liberalcurrents.com/what-elon-ha...

BREAKING: I read the new version of the β€œSave America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty β€œSAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Birthright Citizenship at SCOTUS: Your Voice Matters From President Trump's first day in office, he's targeted birthright citizenship as part of a broader effort to define who belongs in our country. This abuse of power cannot go unanswered. Take action.

President Trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship are part of a broader effort to redefine who belongs in our country β€” we refuse to let that happen.

Add your name to support the fundamental right of birthright citizenship.

The artist who created the latest @theatlantic.com cover said that they used a VR sculpting tool and Blender. Maybe they used Medium or Modeler? Amazing but also ironic since the AI bubble essentially sucked the oxygen out of the Metaverse bubble by which Medium & Modeler were boosted at the time πŸ˜…

Ice planning to acquire $38 billion in warehouses to create detention centers all over the U.S.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
