The Abusable Past published a microsyllabus on Radical Iranian Theory and Praxis last year that seems more relevant than ever. Please check it out and share widely: abusablepast.org/radical-iran...

When will there be justice in Athens? There will be justice in Athens when those who are not injured are as outraged as those who are. — Thucydides

The kids in Quakertown are still in jail! These kids defended themselves when MAGA chud Police Chief Scott McElree rushed into a crowd of protesters in plainclothes and put a teenage girl in a choke hold with no warning. They've been in jail since Friday and may be kept until Tuesday. Speak up!

In Another Break With Trump, Pope Leo Skips U.S. 250th Celebration for Migrant Island As Trump builds his presidency around America’s 250th anniversary, the pope heads to Europe’s most symbolic migrant crossing — days after rejecting the president’s “Board of Peace.”

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation.

On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

stopped in for my annual pączek though i'm neither polish nor catholic and everyone in the shop was outrageously kind. i just wanted to stand there and soak it in for a minute. we were united by our love for pastries that could double as bricks but it was so nice and hopeful. energy to carry forward

Ohhhh I need the scritches

I bet ICE thinks it can park wherever it wants

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BALINT: Weak sauce

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Please stop spreading misinformation, please do not post that they had to close the air space over El Paso because the president was sundowning and took Air Force One out for a joyride and now he is doing barrel rolls over West Texas while JD Vance clings to the wing like that Twilight Zone gremlin

this is basically what I thought would happen with Bovino out and Homan in charge. Less in-your-face theatrics, but just the same amount of evil and harm. Possibly even more, because they’re more focused on the “mission” rather than just tear-gassing everything in sight.

CBP defines 'border' as 100 miles from a coast. Two-thirds of the US population live in the 'border zone.' And we literally have viral footage of them executing people.

So keeping CBP 'at the border' and bodycams would mean much of the country can still be terrorized by CBP and executed on film

We don’t have a federal system, where state govt’s have separate sovereign powers, so that the governors of those states can plead with the President to call off his death squads.

Extrajudicial killing is simply murder. Murder is a crime in Minnesota. The State of Minnesota can—MUST—address it.

Minnesotans “stayed calm” last night and Trump is still talking about the Insurrection Act today.

It’s like an abusive relationship. He will say “look what she made me do,” no matter what she actually did.

It only works if everyone else is willing to blame the victim.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

Homan’s rhetoric is classic abuser language: ‘look what you made me do.’ I guess it’s our own fault that some poorly-trained, trigger-happy incel got mad at being laughed at by a woman, and decided on the spot to use her for target practice. but don’t call him a murderer, because he’ll just get madder and do more murders — and it will be nobody’s fault but ours. fuck all the way off with that bullshit. fuck off all the way to Mars, and stay there until the Space Nazi comes to collect you.

SO THE OFFICIAL LINE FROM DONNY'S THUGS IS "IT WASN'T MURDER, SO STOP CALLING US MURDERERS OR WE'LL GET MAD AND DO MORE MURDERS." FUCK STRAIGHT OFF, THAT'S SOME EVIL BULLSHIT RIGHT THERE. MANY SAY I HAVE WRITTEN AN ANGRY POST LIKE FEW THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR READING IT HERE: bit.ly/3LwTXnh

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this

there are other, better franchises - let this one go

I hope those kids treasure those memes and take the whimsy and memories of sillier times with them into adulthood like we did with Trogdor The Burninator, hope you keep referencing them in 20 years time kiddos

‘People believe this stuff’: AI is a new headache for air disaster investigators Fake content generated by the technology could spread misinformation and undermine official inquiries, an expert says.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

RFK Jr. wants you to know he’s personally responsible for anti-vax misinformation on CDC website He told the New York Times there’s no proof that vaccines don’t cause autism, which is a lie.

In case this wasn't.... matchlessly clear... RFK Jr. told the New York Times he's personally responsible for the new CDC website page claiming that vaccines may cause autism. This is a lie and Kennedy employed tortured logic to try to justify it to the paper. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Cuomo’s campaign used AI while Zohran was filming on the street. Reality beats fakery at last!
