If you think empathy is a bad thing, you’re almost certainly a bad person.

Ali Khamenei won’t be missed by anyone who values human life.

He was a horrific dictator whose hands were permanently stained with the blood of Ukrainians, Middle Easterners, and his own people.

May his legacy of terror die with him

"Genuine anti-imperialists oppose all imperialisms, while pseudo-anti-imperialists oppose some while supporting others." Rohini Hensman (Indefensible: Democracy, Counter-Revolution, and the Rhetoric of Anti-Imperialism).

A concerning number of people on the far-left / anti-imperialist left treat geopolitics like their favorite sport cheering for “their side” as if this were a football match.

Human lives become secondary to their ideological fantasies. (1)

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin.

Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

…the united states is neither a small central european country with a relatively closed media ecosystem nor is it a formerly authoritarian state with a starkly underdeveloped civil society. even during the heyday of hegemonic mass media…

(put another way, weird to say, as Rubio does, that Europe produced “the genius…of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones,” who were self-consciously playing music rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora.)

Literally: you can't make this up.

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

If only there were a famous phrase about how to discern the true reason inexplicable things are happening, from a movie about “The Washington Post”.

Former Kansas City Royals speedster Terrance Gore dies at age 34 Terrance Gore, one of the last major leaguers to make an impact solely with breathtaking speed died Feb. 6, after complications during surgery.

He retired without a single career home run, not even an RBI. Yet Terrance Gore's impact with the game will last forever. Truly one of the last of his kind on a #Royals team that seemed teleported from the 1980s, Gore passes away at 34.

LOL eat shit

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.

And he was still threatening to kill someone.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

‘Fascism is here now’: the US athletes pushing back on Trump’s America World Series winner Sean Doolittle, Super Bowl champion Doug Baldwin and college star McKenzie Forbes have strong opinions on a troubled era

“I’m really mad so thank you for letting me vent.

Abolish ICE.

We keep us safe.”

@seandoolittle.bsky.social and other athletes opened up to us about the DHS murders and the campaign of state terror being waged in Minneapolis and beyond.

There are real, legitimate critiques of Zionism out there, and then there are people who use "Zionist" to mean "Jew," and usually it is in fact possible to tell which is which.

Bolsonaro supporters protesting and demanding that he is set free got hit by a lightning bolt, 3 persons are in hospital now.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Trump on Air Force One hearing there’s a minor issue said “I don’t know her” when questioned by press

The worst thing about the Reagan hagiography that has gone on my entire life is that there are numerous contemporary reports that make it clear he was an incurious dullard acting like a president while a clique of sleazebags behind the scenes wrecked everything.

Which…became a Republican pattern.

A lot of powerful corporations and brands that have aided and abetted Trump and his ethnic cleansing campaign by either giving him money or staying quiet right now are now further debasing themselves by posting MLK Jr, quotes today on their social feeds.

Time to go yell at them! ❤️

The act of native Americans supporting immigrants is very beautiful

I am so fucking ashamed of being Venezuelan today. We need dignity not this bootlicking. Trump will never give Venezuela democracy or the support we need. There is no need for submission and humiliation.
