At the NC Supreme Court celebration of Black History Month, we got to see a clip from the documentary “Breaking the Booth” about the youth-led efforts to desegregate the Carolina Theater in Durham, w/ a great panel after the on legal & organizing efforts to combat segregation. #blackhistorymonth

I’m no comic book scientist but if Superman lived on earth since infancy wouldn’t he get used to the yellow sun eventually? It’s fun to imagine him in his 30s trying to fly one day but just squatting up and down like a toddler who thinks they’re jumping

MPRNeWS This Twin Cities Dungeons & Dragons group of 2,500 people turned into a mutual aid hub and escape for its members affected by the ICE surge

I just love real America so much.

In a conversation between June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis, published in 1990, Jordan said she was concerned about how much despair there is cuz people often take it out on themselves.

She said she wanted a return to rage, where it’s taken out on the system.

What the Donald Trump of 2016 would think of the Donald Trump of 2026 will never be known. But they are starkly different figures when it comes to overseas intervention. A

It’s the same guy you dumb shit

Absolutely packed house tonight to hear how @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is bringing data into the fight against ICE.

one thing i love about the new york city subway is that every harry potter ad is defaced with something denouncing transphobia

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Just watched this earlier today! What a great bit! Nabisco is so terribly sadistic.

Mirroring History This silver-plated tea set may appear on the surface to be a simple assortment of serving containers. But what has this set seen, what has it heard?

"By serving tea in her home, Joanna Howard could meet with the prominent abolitionists with less fear of violent retribution. These acts helped knit together a network that survived and spanned many generations, involving their own children." - I loved reading about tea & Black history.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.

Unreal.

Iranian intelligence has a huge advantage since they can just check polymarket to see what the US will do next.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

AIPAC tracker showing Valerie Foushee has received money from Israeli lobbying groups.

People are actually saying Israel is behind this war, and the baby-brained historical ignorance is astounding.

The US has wanted to topple Iran since 1979. Remember the Axis of Evil? John McCain singing "Bomb Iran"? Trump's own fury at Obama's Iran deal?

Stop making excuses for Trump and the US.

Yeeeeehawwww. The man is almost dead and it's time to write my name in the history books. Also helps when you got tons of weirdo Christofascists in charge who think bringing hell on earth leads to the return of Jesus or whatever

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.

NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."

As Trump builds up to attack Iran, the Dem establishment—again—shows its support with silence Feigned helplessness, process criticism, no public statements or editorials: Liberal elites continue to let Trump do their dirty work for them.

"When it comes to militarism, especially militarism that serves Israel, Dem leadership and liberal institutions are growing further from their base. The two most powerful Dems in Congress are much closer to AIPAC’s position than that of their own voters." therealnews.com/trump-iran-d...

The lesson we are teaching the world with our posture towards Iran and Venezuela is pretty bleak:

Get nukes and don’t trust the U.S.

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.

I need you all to accept that these people have zero trouble being disgusting idiot psychopaths in several directions at the same time with no unified strategic plan linking those directions together

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things
