Ted Lieu to Marco Rubio “You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed — Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first”

Reminder: Four Americans died in Benghazi — six have died & three jets have been shot down in three days in Iran

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

Without violating anyone's privacy, let me just say I'm angry because this is personal.

Let’s stop saying 6 US soldiers died in service and let’s start saying the MAGA regime murdered 6 US soldiers as a result of a 5x draft dodger going to war with Iran.

It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

I’m not mean I’m just neurodivergent and this social interaction wasn’t in my calculations

Tell me you're afraid of the will of the people without telling me you're afraid of the will of the people.

People who don’t care to understand anarchism beyond its stigma say it’s impractically utopian. But for Black people, seeing white supremacy dismantled is impractically utopian. Again & again, nearly all white people prove they prefer to cling to it. And we don’t stop fighting for the world we want.

One of my favorite things to do as a librarian is not charge someone for a service.

Autistic Lives: Not Less Valuable — THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISM Our society needs to more honest about parenting realities, & how to accept, support, and respect children with autism and other disabilities.

CN: Murder

Today is the Disability Day of Mourning, where we hold vigils for disabled people killed by their caregivers. George Hodgins—whose murder inspired Zoe Gross to hold the first DDOM—went to my son's school. My feelings remain raw 14 years later. -SR

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Folks you realise this is a holy war being waged by mad Zionists and Christian Zionists. They literally believe they’re ushering in Armageddon or some such delusional nonsense. It’s too stupid for MSM to report.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

The weakest & most vulnerable out here are confronting the world while the strong complain how it could make them uncomfortable. The brokest out here are distributing resources to each other in network to survive white the comfortable pinch pennies.

Jasmine Crockett: “I want to remind the american people that we have a constitution — what we are clearly witnessing is lawlessness yet again from this administration—

My question to Speaker Johnson is how many ppl are going to have to die bc this president just decided to do whatever he wanted to”

The US is especially not now the world's moral leader, & it never has been. This is the ruse behind its imperialism, it has the patent on freedom & democracy to shove on everybody whether they like it or not. Before this evil clown ruled us, it was still stolen land & fueled by antiblack terror.

I see disabled people like me caring about international catastrophes, I see disabled people doing the best activism they can, I see disabled people pushing mutual aid to help folks all around the world when they're bedbound. I don't think the proof is that the most vulnerable are looking away.

The MINUTE "Our Town" was mentioned I grabbed a box of tissues and an emotional support cat. 😭

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

A man who has never learned that actions have consequences should never be allowed to start a war.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.

If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

I'm told that some leftist bro on another site claimed that Millennials and Gen Z hardly use public libraries anymore. Based on what data? NO DATA.

In actuality, a survey from 2022 found that 54% of Gen Z & Millennials had visited a physical public library in the past year.
