I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

If you're going to choose NOW to decide to say that the Iranian government sucks, I'm going to assume you just want to manufacture consent for colonialism. You do NOT get to invade other countries because their governments are bad. WAR IS WRONG. UNPROVOKED WARS ARE EVIL.

Holy cow, YES, I was wondering how anyone could be expected to swallow such a statement, but there’s a fairly sizable audience out there, primed to eat that shit wholesale.

Newspeak in the news: “From the Guardian and BBC to the New York Times and CBS, Israel’s criminal attack was characterised as the aid ship being "intercepted" or "diverted", and of Israel "taking control" of the vessel. For the western media, Thunberg was "detained", not abducted.”

Bitch makes our entire country a pariah and a laughingstock, and that’s before even taking a glance at the ridiculous, cruel, unabashedly corrupt and toxically stupid things he and his administration have done and continue to do.

Whatever else one might or might not choose to say, it’s an incontrovertible fact that the current President of the United States is an obnoxious blowhard.

Hear!

Amazingly good look at the self-neutering process afoot at @pbs.org who are embracing the approach of compliance in advance. documentary.org/online-featu...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Malak. Malak was an engineering student before this started. She is trying to help her large family including her young sisters Mais and Majd. She is also trying to help Maali who has partial paralysis and needs diapers and medical care.

My skin crawls as I listen to this account of my country’s slide into gestapo-like intimidation and obstruction of a formerly frequent lawful visitor from our most favored neighboring country.

This campaign got me to make my first donation via the Chuffed platform. So many families need and deserve our help. 🏕️ Help Malak Care for Her Disabled Sister and Rebuild Her Future 💔 chuffed.org/project/1301...

Voice over: “She is not wrong about this. Or anyway, she goddamn better not be or we are ultra doomed as a civilization.”

People can be required to attend traffic school if they’ve operated a vehicle in a dangerous way, before they can drive again. We should have this for voters, looking at what ours have welcomed into power in the U.S. …Makes way more sense than the voter ID nonsense being peddled now.

Democrats in office better get the hell with us, their constituents. I’m looking at you, @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @repricklarsen.bsky.social

I’m surprised this isn’t suggested more often, it really sounds like what *should* happen.
