*Reacher eating at a jerk goat place and shitting on 3rd-wave ska sees a suspicious van* “Call the cops. Tell them there’s been ‘a trafficking accident.’” “Don’t you mean ‘traffic accident?’” *Reacher grabs sharp looking goat bone and walks to door as Bob Marley’s “Don’t Worry” plays* “No.”

We have Nazi salutes now because nobody said anything about Confederate flags.

I'm always so relieved when I come across Americans who were truly affected by watching a genocide for 15 months straight. I'm not sure what's wrong with those who weren't, but I know they're directly connected to the predicament this country finds itself in today. You can't localize lack of empathy

Enough

There should be some kind of refund when you have a boring dream. Like a bonus endorphin boost when you wake up

This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

Feel like you know nothing about Sudan? I sat down with the team at Prospect Magazine to talk about the conflict, and why it’s NOT a forgotten war, but an invisibilised one: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/pro...

We’re such a hot mess rn even space trash ghosting us

The Israeli Nachala movement, a right-wing, ultranationalist group, has planned a demonstration on February 27 to call for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza and the construction of illegal settlements there. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/sopqs0

Ta-Nehisi Coates: If Democrats can’t draw the Line at Genocide, they can’t Draw the Line at Democracy

*Patrick Swayze slowly pushing a fistful of dirt into my mouth* “This was the real secret of the dance”

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Meanwhile, the victims thought the shooter was Arab and posted "Death to the Arabs."

How I hope the year breaks them

Here me out

Oh, you’re a people person? Name every human.

Israel has destroyed dozens of homes in Rafah, southern Gaza, despite the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, satellite imagery analysis conducted by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency, Sanad, has revealed ⤵️ aje.io/sybivy

Stop asking Black women to fix the shit you broke.

Even when well-intentioned, the rhetoric of humanization desensitizes us to the violence it describes.

Still pretty ridiculous that teeth and eyes don’t count as a regular part of health insurance

someone just tried this

Burbank, get your perfect asses out to Blast From the Past on Magnolia tonight for the best and, many would say, sexiest comedy show in town! No cover, free stuff, a food truck, sick venue. You'd be a fool not to show up!

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

STEM needs more championship belts and cutting promos before dropping research papers

"Do I need to call Elon?” one DOGE member barked at a federal security official while demanding access to sensitive information at one agency this month, a source familiar with the exchange tells Rolling Stone." Come on, man, you’re being bullied by twerps.

At the stonewall monument rn

The National Park Service has scrubbed any mention of trans people from the website for Stonewall National Monument. STONEWALL. Without trans people there IS no Stonewall.

This is why you'll see older blowhard politicians/pundits harp on poor people having "flat-screen TVs and smartphones"

A reminder of all the harm Kennedy could, and likely will, do in the HHS secretary role. Of all the confirmations, this one is going to have the most noticeable impacts on people's daily lives. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I guess some people deserve protection and peace and others don't

In addition to the chosen example having gone terribly, the proposal isn't even to partition off Gaza, it's to move all Palestinians to "Arab country(ies) TBD", a nebulous and possibly nonexistent target

“Mos Eisley’s hottest spot is CANTINA. It has everything: a bartender who HATES robots, a drunk walrus and pig man couple that keep trying to fight you, the hottest live jizz band, a hobo with a laser sword, and an actual devil”

Hi, I took a handful of old horror stories I had sitting around and put them in a little book, I'd say you should buy it but I'm making the Kindle version free for a few days so you don't even have to go that far: www.amazon.com/Cold-Days-Ma...

Marvel are putting an lsraeIi superhero in their next release, Captain America Brave New World. Sabra is named after a massacre carried out by zi0nist terr0r1sts & co. The BDS movement is calling for a boycott of the film, which releases this week. #BoycottCaptainAmerica #SabraMassacre #Marvel

There is nothing brave or new in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. It's a tap dancing vision of a Black Captain America. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

This past year was the deadliest year on record for journalists. Israel accounted for nearly 70% of the deaths. At least 124 journalists in 18 countries were killed – with the Israeli military responsible for 85 of those deaths. Report from the Committee to Protect Journalists.

this is literally the entire budget for Medicaid btw. this is a literal death sentence for millions of people

Can't even come up with an original playbook...they're just repeating Hitler shit now
