Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness. Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder. Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

it should go without saying but you really cannot run a country, or really any organization, like this. you cannot lurch wildly from pole to pole every four years or every four days. you cannot rip up deals and seek deals and then blow up the people you were seeking to re-deal with. doesn't work

We’ve got McBride in appeasement mode at the NYT, talking about how marriage equality is a blueprint for how we should approach trans rights. Many queers didn’t want marriage equality as a priority, but Tim Gill and other millionaires overrode that because marriage was what they wanted to push.

Sarah McBride did a 90 minute interview with Ezra Klein (NYT) on trans rights. I'm only partway in, but she's already spent most of the time saying we should compromise with the far right and lecturing trans activists for talking too much about the material harms facing our communities.

I can't stop thinking about how the Israeli military used AI models to finetune heat seeking missiles, literal exploding meat grinders to target Palestinians

a lot of people do not hate men, they hate trans men in specific. A lot of people nodding sagely along to memes like "trans men are the men of lgbtq people" are perfectly fine loving and dating and listening to cis men, trans men are just the acceptable target practice for sexists

So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating. Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend more time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

This is beautiful: denied art supplies, incarcerated artist Juan Hernandez learns to make his own canvasses, and then creates an instructional zine to teach others to do the same. "As the Illinois prison system continues to take away resources from us, we must find creative ways to undo their harm."

The Zionist regime bombed Lebanon mercilessly. They broke every law of war in the process. They've been oppressing Lebanon and invading it for decades. No one is more justified to celebrate than Palestinians and Lebanese. If this bothers anyone, they should get in the sea.

If you were at the big protests in Seattle yesterday consider showing up at the immigration facility in tukwilla today. ICE ordered a bunch of people in for no reason and they need people outside to take names and make sure everyone who goes in comes out

"gosh how can we get the Iranians back to the negotiating table" I dunno maybe don't use scheduled negotiations to lull your enemies into a false sense of security before a surprise attack that slaughters civilians next time?

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

i'm so relieved that Ahmad is back— unfortunately, he went to go find food for his family, and came back with only a small amount of flour. and the group he was with was fired upon by the IOF! i'm really grateful he's still with us, and he could use any help you can give gofund.me/f43b81d4

I think it's very suspect that some people are more worried about Iran maybe possibly someday having nuclear weapons than motherfucking Donald Trump having nuclear weapons in this very second. What is going on in your brain? [hint: it's orientalism]

Hey everyone! A local org is raising funds to help reunite a father in ICE detention with his family. It would be amazing if this goal could be met by Father's Day, so he can spend it with his wife and two year old daughter. Please give what you can and share! secure.actblue.com/donate/noice...
