Seems bad

How many times does he have to do something nazi-adjacent before people believe him?

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

🚨 The final number of dead at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, is 108 school girls, a spokesperson for the Iranian Red Crescent Society said — more than half of the roughly 170 students who attend the school.

It remains unclear whether the strike was carried out by...

I'm struggling to understand the present-day "peace through strength" concept — where some dictators are eliminated, while one particular dictator is offered generous business opportunities and full impunity for genocide.

This is so disgusting.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

US and Israel launch ‘massive’ strikes on Iran as Trump calls for regime change President vows to ‘raze their missile industry to the ground’

US+Israel goal is maximalist - Regime change
Assembled air power for weeks of bombing

Target list of day 1 are: kill political & military leadership; destroy nuclear sites; destroy air defenses; and destroy missile launch sites

i.e Iran in classic 'use it or lose it'

Not this tech bro namedropping the founders of Google. I totally believe you're in the inner circle, my dude.

hahahahahahahahaha

oh boy. My jaw is clenched on your behalf.

Numbers, Courtney! They know numbers!

The number of conversations about climate I've had with people who say, "ok, but I heard on this podcast." Oh, you listened to a podcast? Of course that is the equivalent to my many years of research, silly me.

This @thedigradio.bsky.social episode with Minnesota organizers is excellent, especially how they talk about multi-racial, multi-issue organizing for the long-term.

Finance in the Dark | Lenore Palladino | Finance in the Dark An opaque sector is reshaping the US. Only ambitious regulatory reform can check its power.

"Developing a general framework for regulating finance, holistically and structurally, which could be put to use when reformers have the necessary leverage, is no more utopian than what private markets themselves promise." Excellent piece by @lenorepalladino.bsky.social

OUT NOW

we just need to find that one good billionaire.

UPDATE: Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal says that "ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl," to lie and get into a Columbia residential building and detain a student.

"It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so," he adds.

Totally. And, I get it. Anyone who isn't a centrist drone feels like the right move. For me, the fact that he went on a podcast rather than immediately removing the tattoo showed his whole self.

Guys, we made this mistake with Fetterman. Let's not do it again. Believe people when they tell you who they are.

This 🧵 is extremely comprehensive about USDA's bipartisan industry capture and the horrific conditions for meatpacking workers and the animals they slaughter.
I'd add, the land grant university system is captured too, and always happy to produce small science results that the industry wants.

All the cruelest, dumbest assholes in America want to kill the arts and humanities

During last night's SOTU, we heard that Dems and the "Green New Scam" are making working people's lives worse. But Trump's plans and promises are *actually* what's making life more expensive and more dangerous. Here are three reasons why:👇
