Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:

It's a small point as we contend with the obliteration of international law and the waning of values-driven policy, but it's a bit insane to stop and realize that all of this is happening in what's meant to be the holiest month of the year.

One nice example of generative slop degrading quality is in auto captions for social media vids
Speech to text is getting MASSIVELY worse as it becomes more and more generative, and often it completely changes the meaning on insta, tiktok etc. That gets worse as companies squeeze compute and power

The people outside of a country that they left for whatever reasons should not be listened to over the people who still live in said country. *Exile* politics is always fraught. Exiles have self-interests like everyone else.

Iranian state media confirms Khamenei has been killed.
That was never the hard part. Iran has had a succession plan for years now. The guy was in his 80s; no one was under the illusion he would live forever.
Feels like the moment when Bush posed with the mission accomplished sign behind him.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.
These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.
Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

So many levels of dehumanization here. I say this as a survivor of abuse by my uncle. Heβs not using his power to protect her as a human. Heβs using it to retain access to his object. Purity culture (which fascism is) βprotectsβwomen so their protectors can have unfettered access.
