Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

This is why we cannot take our eye off the ball. What ICE is doing is also an every day occurrence in marginalized communities. Solutions must center this fact. #DismantleChangeBuild

Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

trump is taking political hits on iran is because he is now undermining his supporters' ability to win online arguments. you can just own them ruthlessly on the iran thing now for being dumdums. and this they cannot bear. they can tolerate any amount of murder and mayhem, but not being owned online

France is expanding its nuclear arsenal, Finland is going to allow nuclear weapons to be stationed there, and Poland is looking in to nuclear weapons. Just to cite a few things in the news.

Btw, how’s North Korea doing?

It’s certainly better than transphobia, but I wish I would hear politicians CELEBRATE trans people instead of downplay their existence.

Whether it’s 2 trans people or 200,000, they are being used as a proxy issue to discipline EVERYONE’S relation to gender, freedom, and public belonging.

Aside from the childish unseriousness, the thing that just really stands out to be here is just the artistic and cultural leeching. They can't produce anything anyone actually wants to watch themselves so they just pinch a load of clips to repurpose.

Its always unnerving to see people talking about war like its sports game, supporting their respective teams, like its not something with extraordinary destruction that, under the BEST of circumstances, those who haven't been obliterated, will need to spend many decades attempting to rebuild from.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

I think it was on Why Theory that they discussed that Right worldview is "i get all the benefits of living in society and bear none of the responsibilities and if you make me responsible for anything i will destroy you"

Now you have to refuse to vote for any new appointee, and immediately impeach any new secretary that is confirmed.

Being on the Trump cabinet is an impeachable offense.

Price shocks in essentials must be buffered before they ripple through the economy and rip apart our societies. Have governments learned their lesson or will they let the fossil fuel price shock unleash another round of windfall profits and inflation?

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

This simply doesn't seem all that far-fetched and needs to be investigated.
