things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

It is unbelievable

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

and that, my fellow academics, is one reason not to hire war criminals: so they can't show up years post (their) war arguing in favor of the scaffolding behind their own atrocities with the imprimatur and status of your university

W.E.B. Du Bois sits at the head of the table, smiling, cutting his 95th birthday cake with Shirley Graham Du Bois and President Kwame Nkrumah to his left and Madame Nkrumah to his right.

So weird how you guys didn't get around to mentioning that he's also the author of the Torture Memos!

A beautiful moment in the socialist republic of New York

istg if my IT guy asks me "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" one more time I'm reporting him for harassment

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I refuse to read what someone refused to write

it is not enough to disable the feature that produces an AI summary of my emails at the top of my emails in gmail, I need a button that delivers an electrical shock to the person who thought it was a good idea

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

Pam Bondi, in a little paper party hat and a satin sash reading "Birthday Girl" sitting in front of a birthday cake with "Happy Birthday, Pam" written on top in front of a banner that says "It Is Pam Bondi's Birthday Today:" I'm shocked that you continue to talk about birthdays

The life of a dairy cow The surprising truth about milk is hiding in plain sight.

& if I could broadcast one message to the world it would be that there is absolutely no good reason to mass produce another mammal for its breast milk. It will never not be an unmitigated atrocity. And I can't believe how poorly understood it still is among those who should know better

gift link:

Before I wrote this last year I knew a lot about the horrors of dairy but didn't truly know what it means to be a herd animal. We think humans are intensely social, but cows are another level entirely

I think it's pretty much impossible to do dairy farming humanely, but the way we do it seems 1/

I think a lot of folks would rather you don’t give the ball to republicans to play with

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

When I say "I hope this email finds you well," this is what I mean
