If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+

Does anyone remember the first scenes of 28 days later with the monkeys infested with hate watching the news? We are the monkey, this is our reality

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

I hate to break it to you but today is kind of the last day you get to love Mamdani unconditionally.

Tomorrow you gotta start holding him accountable.

Israel says it will suspend more than two dozen humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, for failing to meet its new rules for aid groups working in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

Israel says it will suspend more than two dozen humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, for failing to meet its new rules for aid groups working in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

In today’s depraved beyond belief news, Israel is banning MSF (Doctors Without Borders) from Gaza.

I am so sorry. You must be heartbroken having to say goodbye to your little companion. I still miss my childhood cat all the time. Sending you lots of love, even if we don’t know each other.

I was going to say this. I lived in India and I swear I heard a lot of comments derogatory to minorities in the US on how when moving to the US they would avoid mixing with non-white people. Of course these were not the majority of people but it happens

THIS! I am tired of people using LLMs for any task and suggesting that if I used it I would save time… I would not.

Of the many evils in the world I have to say Canadian mines are among the worst. They just kill and disappear people like if they were nothing and with no consequence, not even reputational for its country.

How Rob Reiner became anti-Prop. 8 kingpin Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Say what you will about Frank Gehry but he unleashed the architectural imagination of millions. He showed us that Architecture could be daring and dreamy and unbounded. He was a great one

What’s going on????? Everybody I talk to is sick!!! I am not exaggerating. We need to go back to masking and not hugging/kissing to greet people. We need to be more serious with ventilation in closed spaces. We learned nothing!

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Hey all, and especially my LA friends, please help share this video from Nal_310 on TikTok.

Her sister recorded a man being snatched by ICE in LA, and is missing a digit from the number. Please help his family know what happened.

It is very sad that people outside of the USA barely know about the protests or the people organizing to watch out for ICE in their neighborhoods or literally using their bodies to shield each other. There is a long path of resistance but we see you, we will amplify your voices, we are rooting for u
