I have always supported the Ukrainian resistance against Russian imperialism and that will never change. One thing I just cannot handle though is the 'Ukraine watchers' on social media who think everything can be understood based on how it plays out between Ukraine and Russia.

Sure feels like a severe media literacy crisis, and it is being worsened by the fact that many politicians simply prefer it that way www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Ayatollah can get f- for all I care. My concern is more on how Israel wages war and the fact that it is committing genocide in Gaza. That same state cannot be trusted, to put it mildly, with 'just' overthrowing a deeply unpopular and murderous regime.

Common knowledge in my field (I think), but it shocks outsiders? You can be fairly accurate in predicting certain political trends by watching series, movies, books etc, if you know what to look for, and especially when it's not meant to be 'political' at all

“If we do not stand up to Peter Thiel, they’re going to come after all of us.” 13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans. Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

Just a reminder that Iran had a secular government that was overthrown by the US and UK in 1953 and the Shah, this man's dad, was installed. The Shah regime was an ally of Israel's, and the BBC just platformed his son to say that bombing Iran is something Iranians are happy about.

Genuine question here: and Britons in Iran? Or is it implied that there are none? We've seen how worthless the lives of Brits who are also Egyptian (Alaa) or Palestinian (too many to name) are to the British government, so what's the situation here? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

"We're in a moment where solidarity is being threatened" The movements for climate justice, immigrant justice, and Palestinian justice are connected by a common threat—one which seeks to silence nonviolent protest through criminalization.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

This is just Hasbara Tourette at this point. Every time anyone critiques Israel, its apologists and propagandists pull a random antisemitic trope out of a hat and cry that not being able to present your death machines is exactly like the Warsaw Ghetto.

Israel was asked to remove some weapons from the Paris airshow. They refused. The organisers opted to segment the Israeli booth. Israel compared that to past Jewish ghettos (I’m not kidding). They were then ordered shut down by the French government. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Besides the obvious hit job, this is so badly written. They simply made a decision to smear someone they don’t like, and they have no actual arguments. I’m amazed they managed to go this low

If you want an example of the failings of Community Notes, look no further than Musk spreading misinfo in the hours after the Minnesota shooting. The shooter has now been IDed as a Trump supporter. There is no community note on Musk or the original post he quotes.
