'An Iranian missile landed on him': Sky News speaks to son of expat who died in United Arab Emirates Saleh Ahmed, 55, was delivering drinking water when he was fatally struck by debris after a missile attack on the first day of the war. His son tells Sky News he does not believe his father knew the c...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

'Rising reactionary sentiment and right-wing extremism under Trump has accelerated the push for online age verification...Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.' - @evangreer.bsky.social , Director at @fightforthefuture.org

BREAKING: An open letter with 60,000 people was sent to @housecommerce.bsky.social detailing opposition to age verification bills

We are the people who grew up on the internet. If anyone knows about harms it caused, it's us. Not parents, not congress, us.

I mean you would think with how many decades went into wanting to bomb Iran they'd at least have some sort of plan

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them:
— NO to KOSA
— NO to Section 230 reform
— NO to the SCREEN Act
— NO to the App Store Accountability Act
—NO age verification laws
—NO to digital ID systems

the only person i trust less than Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to kids online safety is ... Marsha Blackburn

These are the people that would write the speech rules for the entire internet if Section 230 is gutted

Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship.

@cassiewillson.bsky.social is spot on in this video

You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.

Elon Musk Emailed Extensively With Jeffrey Epstein, Begging to Visit His Notorious Island Newly released documents show how Elon Musk extensively communicated with Jeffrey Epstein to plan parties and trips to his island.

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

the dems being more and more craven with their appeasement to republicans and fascism means that when the time comes lto put pressure on them to oppose internet censorship legislation like gutting Section 230 and age verification, people are less and less willing to bother putting calling them 🙃🙃🙃

stretching your hamstrings is like evil masturbation

It is grimly comical that with some of the largest online platforms now basically open adjuncts of the Trump administration they can still whine about “big tech censoring conservatives” with a straight face.

this would LITERALLY censor conservatives

Heritage Foundation blog post: A Measure That Would Force Big Tech To Protect Kids Online And Stop Censoring Conservatives

Here's the Heritage Foundation all-in on repealing Section 230 so that litigious Christian nationalists can dictate the speech rules for the entire Internet

It's so embarrassing so many Dems are falling for this www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

“Hundreds of immigrant mothers” in Texas concentration camp uprising

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up

so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

I hate how successful the tech oligarchs have been on ostracizing everyone from one another on the internet. Information is all over the place. There's no unity or cohesiveness. If you don't see information on one site you'll never see it.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

the economy about to implode and make the great depression look like child's play while medicaid and food stamps become more and more defunded.

Its killing me imagining someone genuinely laughing at bato's notoriously unfunny comment section
