Assad’s mass grave in the Husayniyya district near Damascus contains at least 100,000-150,000 bodies and joins history as one of the largest mass graves in the 21st century. This was a genocide. #freeSyria

Outrageous. New mothers reported for “drug use,” but the drugs were actually administered by the hospitals. You can bet it is mostly poor women who have little ability to sue the hospitals for the resulting emotional trauma and family and work disruptions. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Some survivors being liberated from the Sednayah complex in Syria appear mentally broken. I just watched a video of a young man (teens/early 20s?) seated on a gurney being asked questions by those trying to help. All he could do was rock back and forth with an inappropriate grin repeating “Aleppo”.

What a great idea

Trump is planning to add another billionaire to his admin, offering private equity exec Stephen Feinberg the job of deputy defense secretary. His firm has investments in defense companies with huge Pentagon contracts. If this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is.

It's good that news of Russian killer drones hunting, killing, maiming citizens in Kherson is getting more coverage Follow @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social who has been reporting on #DroneAttacks and #HumanSafari in Kherson - here's her story from July: Russian Drones are Hunting Civilians in Kherson

Some politicians and pundits are pushing the idea that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes. Not only is that claim false, the opposite is true.

Nicolle Wallace, “As Tim Snyder author of On Tyranny puts it, quote, taken together, Trump's candidates constitute an attempt to wreck the American government.”

This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.

Indeed.

Elon Musk has been trying to kill California’s high-speed rail project for over a decade. It’s the only reason he started pushing the Hyperloop as an alternative. Now he’s planning to use his influence with Trump to ensure its federal funding gets cut off.
