youtu.be/a5Wg4vN7hgo?... The best interview I have watched about Israel and America’s illegal invasion of Iran. Hoda Katebi is inspiring in ways that we could all learn from. It’s on all of us to fix this! We must resist!

If we're sharing cultural artifacts from the Iraq war era with the youths, I am generationally required to share this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCpj...

The shit US and Israel and Russia are doing as agitators, aggressors, and genociders is fucking up what I can only call the global game balance around nukes, and I don't like where the new meta is landing.

the academy: sports are a culturally-insignificant object unworthy of study the literal pope:

Reminder that Iran has a right to defend itself under international law. It is defending itself from a belligerent power. Simple as that. Israel’s leaders should be in The Hague by now, and Trump, Biden, and Harris should be sent with them for good measure.

We should not be both-siding this. There is one side that clearly has done more to instigate this conflict. Iran is bad, yes, but it is still a country and has the right to territorial integrity, etc. under international law. It should not have been attacked. Period.

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

Every time I've checked this site today, it's mere minutes after yet another event occurred that would normally dominate news cycles for weeks.

You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

every AI guy I talk to maliciously uses socialist talking-points while propping up a tool that's in the business of burning the planet, supplanting education, and obliterating jobs. where the 12 gauge at

14,000 Palestinians may have already died in just one day. That’s on par with the worst massacres that occurred in WWII. Arms embargo now. Free Palestine!

Here's what's happening, as far as I can tell. 🧵 -The US agreed with Hamas to release Edan Alexander in exchange for lifting the siege on Gaza. -Edan was released, but Trump betrayed his promise. Israel continues to starve Gazans.

Why are some people so up in arms about boycotting TES IV remake? Microsoft is now on the BDS list. We should boycott unnecessary products when we can. You do not need this game. Chill out.

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

"Hey man, why are you so down recently?" (Implicitly saying: You're such a debbie downer now bro, get over yourself) Me, reading the news in the morning: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

When are the people who said nothing while student protestors were attacked for their free speech last year going to admit they made a catastrophic mistake? That would actually be useful. Weaken their rhetorical tools. Admit you made a huge fucking mistake

Hasan Piker's full speech at the Gaza march in DC today. “None of us are free until all of us are free.”

Boycott Xbox now. #BoycottXbox

Ubisoft should patch in the ability for me , a Chinese person, to break things in Yasukuni shrine specifically

This is how you deal with the weird "anti-woke" weirdos: No "debate", no discussion - shut it down, do not give them of your time, deny them attention. Good on this man for doing so!

Do NOT go to the US if you speak up for human rights, are Arab, or trans. The US is literally disappearing foreigners, full stop. They will go through the Arabs, the trans folks, and the protestors, and then start to disappear any other undesirables until all that's left is obedient pure fascists.

Until Palestinian students and scholars can study safely in the US, I will not be writing letters of recommendation or advising any of my students to study abroad there. As educators, we have to fight back against this.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.
