Again, if you're European and you *must* go to the US, then fly via Dublin where there's preclearance and if you're refused, at least you'll still be in Europe and not held at the whims of US immigration for god knows how long. Better still, just don't go to the US at all.

John Krasinski as Reed Richards long term is the only time I can’t kill the CEO in my mind like there’s no way people see him as more as an object permanence pick

Wow. This is from Haaretz. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

I’m proud to announce one of my first creator-owned series with @ignitionpress.bsky.social! Roots of Madness is my love letter to the act of turning survival lessons into tools for dreaming and venturing into the beyond.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

one of the many reasons kojima rules is cause he (correctly) identifies the inherent homoeroticism to military tough guy posturing is a feature, not a bug

the dem establishment attempting to purge every pro palestine politician from the party while the actual voter base is now majority pro-palestine is going to wreck party unity and cohesion if we let them keep doing this.

Blue Communion physical zine pre-orders extended to July 27th, 2025! Did you pre-order the print release of Blue Communion, the 1000xRESIST fanzine yet? The extended order period won't last forever, so get yours while you still can! www.veryokvinyl.com/products/blu... #1000xRESIST #Blue_Communion

That song dropping in-game has to be one of the top 2 biggest twists/surprises in the history of the medium, and it's not #2. Also worth noting, because D'Angelo, that every time he's been scheduled to perform that song in public, he's done it.

They will call you a communist anyway! We must work on educating people on what that means and removing their ability to use it as a slur

I am Israa, a journalist from Gaza. The war has taken my family, my home, my work, and my only means of living. Still, I refuse to give up. I am fighting to rebuild my life and continue my mission. Your support can make all the difference. Please share and donate. 💙 Donate here: gofund.me/2b2f55f6

What hurts me most is that everyone has become accustomed to Gaza’s suffering. Painful news has become the norm. If there is a normal, non-painful day, it is the unusual thing. We are human beings. I swear that we are human beings. We feel everything, just like you.

Genuinely surprised the Washington Post released this lol it unambiguously makes Israel look evil

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

There will a come a time in this world where people who worked with ICE will be found out, and many of them (and their family members) will cry and say they were forced to, or didn’t mean it, or tried to keep their pension. Your job is to not let anyone believe them.

Reposting slightly different version that will hopefully look less crunchy with this platform's image compression?...

@shineyezehuhh.bsky.social wrote an article for @aftermath.site about the way I eat my lemon Oreo thins and it is so funny and SO very me. I was cracking up and smiling the whole way through it. 😁😸

White women will defend white Scarlet Witch like that is their feudal lord

The idea that War on Porn will only have positive outcomes! That it will only target "bad" stuff, that it doesn't require broad digital surveillance, or suppression of sexuality, or that it won't be turned against marginalized people. The same absolute hubris of these people.

Unfortunately I think this will be lost in the avalanche of analysis whether Cuomo wins or loses, but the line of attack vis a vis Israel genuinely does not seem to be working much at all. The people who were going to vote for Cuomo over this already were set, but Mamdani's momentum still grew.

Noelyn, the main protagonist of the spicy adult fantasy/fairy tale romance story I've slowly been developing on the side 🔥 GlassBorn is obviously my baby but I REALLY hope I can do something with this someday 💦

They're doing the "sleeper cell" shit again, which means more hate crimes against Persian people in this country. Again.

I’d love to chat about politics more on podcasts and events and stuff. Here is some of my recent writing internationalpolicy.org/publications...

I clicked on a link on a Fandom website and it opened PayPal on my phone 🙂

If you are looking to get your mind onto something creative, interesting, inspiring, PBS has a new doc on Edna Lewis who, despite knowing a bit about her, I didn't know she really originated the "farm to table" movement, having mostly heard Alice Waters be credited. www.kcrw.com/culture/show...

good morning soprano rangers

Kidnapping Mahmoud Khalil and making him a household name among the politically engaged likely did more long term damage to the US-Israel relationship than every single protest Khalil has ever participated in combined.

americans pretty broadly oppose war and interventionism, the trick they use to hide that is by never directly asking shit this way, and instead asking shit like 'do you think america should stop iran from using nuclear weapons' and 'do you support iranian terrorism, or american freedom?'

I reviewed Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. Whereas the first game acted as a slightly navel gazey compilation of conceptual shower thoughts, this takes its retro prelude and delivers a sharper (downright oppressive at times) narrative that's worth the suffering. gizmodo.com/death-strand...

I don't understand how you can witness any of what is going on right now & not see that our current existential predicaments are bipartisan projects The people who are supposed to be preventing war are too busy organizing against a Muslim socialist. Former presidents who should be criticizing Trump

[And since we're finally asking questions, why is Israel allowed to commit genocide?]

when you accept the linkedin request but turns out he's a genAI techbro

can't believe media are still this impressed with guided missile technology

Furthermore, have you guys noticed that the quality of produce has gone down in Publix and Kroger? I’m serious, avocados are mushy, lettuce isn’t as fresh, etc. Is it just the grocery stores in my area? Or have you noticed the same thing as well?

These jackbooted thugs think they can hide behind masks and terrorize communities without any personal cost. The hotels think they can cash Trump's dirty checks without consequences. These protests make it clear that they're both wrong. I love it. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/fede...

Feeling overwhelmed at the lawlessness? Get involved locally. Concrete, real-world resistance to fascism in your own community is better for you than doomscrolling.

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

the democrats can only support popular positions, be a realist, that's why it's important we do something 80% of the country doesn't want us to do

Because you cannot effectively stop a catastrophe unless you accurately identify what it is. This is so dangerous precisely because it is NOT an aberration. We've seen this before, over and over again.
