There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars.

He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East.

Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately.

While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition.

Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval β€” both

5 Calls can help you make the call:

No war. No war. No war. No illegal fucking war. No war, period. We have got to stop.

I sure could go for impeaching and convicting the president right about now.

ICYMI, the state of Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of 1,000+ ppl whose gender markers did not match their assigned sex at birth. These markers had been legally changed.

There was no grace period. It's now illegal for them to drive to the DMV to get a new license (w/ incorrect gender).

Mainstream reporters are desperate not to cover what's happening to trans ppl in the US.

The narrative was activists got a little too uppity and some mild hand smacking was needed to put them in their place.

The reality of a genocidal campaign of terror against a vulnerable 1% makes them look bad.

as a trans person living in a red state that i cannot realistically pack up & leave right now + i have community here i depend on: i ask of you to see the ways things can get better for the whole of us instead of abandoning a geographic area just bc of who is oppressing us in the seats of power

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.

i just get so mad when people want identities to be something inflicted on you instead of tools that serve you that you are free to remake or discard. it feels fundamentally violent to take that away

I do sometimes wish I could be stubbornly confident that the pandemic ended in 2022 but unfortunately I live in the real world and see the full spectrum of people (including myself) that are constantly sick and suffering with new shitty health problems over the last few years.

Every time I think about trying to navigate kids through a world with an unmitigated pandemic I am both grateful I don't have to personally make those decisions and horrified about the experiment we as a society are running on our children's brains and bodies.
