Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.

The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

This aged well. Note the author.

I assume you saw this too

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

I am already seeing "it's a distraction!" takes and please fucking kill me

These people are the enemies of humanity, it’s not more complex than this.

Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership

It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

It's easy to forget, but the Vietnam and Iraq wars were fairly popular with the general public before they became total quagmires.

This war, on the other hand, seems to be deeply unpopular from the very start.

The logical consequences Support independent media Congress gave Trump a free pass for bombing Iran – his attack on Venezuela is the logical consequence  by Alex Rikleen As a teacher, part of my job was responding when a ...

As I wrote after the Venezuela attack, Congress had a constitutional duty to impeach in that moment.
Anything less invited further attacks.
Congress neglected their oaths.
Not only did they fail to impeach, they barely responded at all.

Iran launches retaliatory strikes across the Middle East after US and Israel attack – live Iran targets US military bases and Israel as Donald Trump says ‘major combat operation’ under way

"UK, Germany and France have condemned Iranian attacks on countries in the region saying Iran must refrain from indiscriminate military strikes"

They did not comment on US and Israeli attacks

Beggars belief, but just what you would expect from these US lapdogs

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

Many comments saying “Reform don’t seem like ‘real’ Christians to me!” But really is this what matters? Surely the point is no plural diverse democracy should base national identity on a single unshared religion! Leave the question of who is a “real” Christian to the Christians to fight out.

One of the main reasons bosses wanted to crush the tight 21-23 labor market, and elected Trump to ensure they would, was because workers wouldn't put up with shit like this in a world where unemployment was 3%

Video proof this really happened!

When Gavin Newsom says "the Democrats need to be more culturally normal" with "less focus on pronouns" what he's actually saying is "the trannies aren't normal and don't normalize them."

“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.

The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

send that teacher to a fucking gulag

Two issues I'm pondering. One is that you can't move this many people without inflicting tremendous physical and psychological harm on those deported and on society itself. The second is that left in place for years, mass detention on a whole new level will be normalized. It rarely vanishes. [1/3]

In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the ‘89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?

Brianna was not murdered by a phone. She was murdered with knives by two 15-year-old kids who grew up in the toxic atmosphere of British society, fed by the media and government.

We know this because phones are not capable of penetrating human skin 28 times, across her head, neck, chest, and back.

It's the same child, Esther! The fact that you can't grasp that says more about you than it does about Brianna. 🤬
