During the liberation of Dachau and Buchenwald in 1945, many of the camp guards tried to escape by disguising themselves as prisoners or civilians. Newly liberated prisoners recognized several guards immediately, and you can imagine how that ended for them.

Right?! There are people who have been on this site for some time now, using it regularly enough for me to know they have to have seen posts talking about the nazis and other fascists on substack, platform alternatives, post migrations, etc., yet they continue on substack.

More people should buy this book. Not just because I wrote it. But because it’s about grief and surviving the worst stuff with dark humor and a flask.

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

We had parent death in Bambi and The Lion King.

We had animal cruelty in Dumbo and 101 Dalmatians.

We had child hunger and poverty in Aladdin.

We had deforestation and pollution in Fern Gully.

Should I go on?

Thank you 🫂 Being the one who “got out”, I long envied my cousins, growing up together, their closeness with our grandmother, aunts, and uncles. Now, I feel the weight of my privilege as I hope the landlines are functional and someone is alive to answer the call.

From my family in #Tehran— “It felt like night at 9 a.m. because of the smoke. The air is poisoned. I’m so angry.”

There is also fear the smoke will be used as cover for more attacks on civilians. #Iran

I am so sorry 🫂 I remember the look on the person’s face the moment she knew there was no heartbeat.

My 4yo found my stethoscope, and we took turns listening to each other’s hearts. He asked me if I liked it, and I started crying as I said, to me, it’s the most beautiful sound in the world.

Being progressive is being right too early for normie tastes. We’ve been right on Gaza and so many other issues, and Iran will be no different.

Between Iran International and Manoto, it’s reminiscent of the propaganda leading up to the 1953 coup.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

An autistic man called police for a wellness check. He was fatally shot. Alex LaMorie, 25, had recently moved to a community in Maryland for people with disabilities, and was shot after police say he approached officers while holding a knife.

"Every parent of a child with autism knows this is their worst nightmare," his mother said.

This “chopping babies’ heads off” is false rhetoric in support of genocide. We saw it with Gaza and now with Iran. The realities of the Hamas attack on October 7th and the actions of the Iranian regime are bad enough. They do not need to be embroidered to turn them into horror porn. It’s disgusting.

This has been the struggle my entire life as a part the Iranian diaspora. Can’t trust the propaganda here; can’t trust the propaganda there. It’s at its worst now.

I filled up today and was annoyed by the cost.

Then I remembered there are people with their loved ones killed, homes destroyed, or entire families wiped out.

The price we pay.

A nuisance to some; a burden to others.

The price they pay.

Everything.

When greedy, disgusting freaks rule us all.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
