In a crushing blow to free speech, the University of Cambridge is asking a High Court for an injunction *through February 2030* to arrest anyone who protests on certain properties "in connection with Cambridge for Palestine or otherwise for a purpose connected with the Palestine-Israel Conflict."

WaPo put "sweeping budget cuts" in the headline but admits in the text directly underneath that Trump didn't actually order any Pentagon cuts — just reallocations. Moving money around within a budget isn’t the same as taking money out of it. "Cuts" only describes the latter

The Trump-Biden military buildup far exceeds Reagan’s legendary 1980s buildup — annual Pentagon spending is over $200 billion higher, on average. www.stephensemler.com/p/is-trump-r...

Before Trump's inauguration, I spoke w/ @flyingwithsara.bsky.social of @afacwa.org @therealnews.com about the coming attack on federal workers, why it concerns all of us, & how we fight back. If you're feeling overwhelmed & helpless, watch the full interview ❤️✊🏽 therealnews.com/airline-work...

Something we all should remember, as we talk about worst case scenarios and ways to plan for and survive them: It's very much worth remembering that we collectively can and will survive them. And, we will build something beautiful on the ashes of their corrupt and childish violence.

First clip from my interview with former NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Chris Kluwe about why he chose to be arrested for civil disobedience at his right wing city council meeting this week in protest of MAGA. More clips to come before we release the whole interview. Chris is fiire.

Another clip with former NFL Player Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social arrested for civil disobedience this week in the face of his MAGA city council. HERE he talks about why, in the ensuing publicity he rejected an interview ask from the New York Times (he says exception for @jamellebouie.net)

I spent weeks looking at the transmission dynamics of H5N1 in California and came to exactly the same conclusion, namely that the scale of transmission could only be fully explained if long-range airborne transmission was a factor. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

The report on princeton complicity in genocide linked in the article is here: antiwar.io/princeton-mi...

This is a running joke between a few of us but it's TRUE. They occupied a GOVERNMENT BUILDING and blocked highways for over a month in Brazil and there was barely any talk of it in the West. It is a HISTORICAL event/victory and a beautiful example of resistance and the fight for the people.

I also cannot wait to see Justin Trudeau stand on trial at The Hague for his complicity in and and cover for Israel’s genocide on Gaza. All of his supporters look sick and depraved right now. That’s right. All.

Dahlia Kurtz, who is absolutely a genocide monger, has pressed charges against Yves Engler for identifying Kurts as being a genocide denier. Wild. Incredible attack on free speech. yvesengler.com/2025/02/18/i...

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dh48s1

THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. 🧪🧵⬇️

Biden regularly abused emergency powers to enable a genocide, yet some people think it’s an abomination to use emergency powers to help people survive a cost of living crisis.

UPDATE: It's happening now. German police entered the new venue to break up our meeting with Francesca Albanese and Amnesty International. The miss no chance to prove that totalitarianism is back in Germany even before the AfD has won gvt

Israel continues to block the entry of tens of thousands of tents and mobile homes for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel has received a new shipment of 2,000-pound MK-84 bombs from the United States. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/17/he...

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

Our media is so ill-equipped for this moment. “Why is Vice President Vance meeting with Nazis?” Such as easy question to ask a fumbling lightweight like thirsty Marco, FFS.

At this mass pro-democracy, anti-Musk (anti-Nazi) demo in front of a heavily fortified Capitol and its just another reminder that the (non Capitol) police were beyond complicit in January 6th. A random bunch of asshole losers can’t storm that building unless the state holds open the door.

Arms factories hit by pro-Palestine protests over the last 15 months have been sending supplies to Israel, our investigation has found. www.declassifieduk.org/vindicated-h...

These stories of survival are also stories of loss—of homes, of dreams, of entire futures stolen. They are stories of resilience, of defiance, of the ways people carve meaning and memory out of destruction.

If Democrats are going to fight Trump/Musk plutocracy, they have to also take on their own billionaire donors. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. — Ursula K. Le Guin

A Zionist in Miami opened fire on a vehicle, mistakenly believing it carried Palestinians, only to later realize the passengers were Israelis who suffered minor injuries. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

"It's so fucked up... these fucking billionaires, they need to be put down, you know? Like rabid dogs. They're rabid with greed. They're dividing everybody, you know? I am so tired of everyone going to bed worried about what's going to happen to us next week." -- Bill Burr

Stolen Indigenous children. The global Indigenous experience. They're still doing this today with the very racist FKU tests that don't consider Inuit cultural and language. Even after the tests were finally banned, they forcibly removed an Inuk baby the very next day.

Palestinians and their allies have protested relentlessly and, at times, heroically, not only to stop a genocide but to salvage and preserve core humanitarian principles governing life within the United States. Their target all along has been fascism, including but not limited to Trump.

Nobody should have been using AirBnB to begin with. Not only does it hollow out communities, but it creates manufactured scarcity that drives up the price of housing. These fucking ghouls have gotten rich off our pain, suffering, and blood.

In a world clapping from doorsteps, I mourned in silence for the two I lost. Their absence was my silent scream, a sharp contrast to the doctors and nurses choreographed dance of survival. #CovidIsNotOver

I only want to hear the senator saying it's a symbol of genocide. Everyone else is just being basic and obvious.
