“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

The shape of Iran with the words NO WAR WITH IRAN over it

The attacks on Iran, including one which killed dozens at a school for girls, are beyond horrific. End the US/Israel war machine now!

When the U.S. or Israel attacks someone, media calls it a “conflict”, but when someone else attacks them, media calls it an “attack” or “war”. Shows you exactly the role power, bias, and hypocrisy play in how things are reported or portrayed.

Against Borders Borders harm all of us: they must be abolished.Borders divide workers and families, fuel racial division, and reinforce global disparities. They encourage the expansion of technologies of surveillance...

Which is why I'm primed to read this book in the next session of @davidkaib.bsky.social's socialism reading group, which I recommend to EVERYone: www.versobooks.com/products/265...

The ideas of crime and criminal will always undermine any ostensibly universal project.

I can't doomscroll because my friend is over with her toddler and every few minutes the baby comes over to solemnly offer me a truck and then immediately repossess the truck. Very effective

Israel has closed all the crossings into Gaza and reimposed total siege.

You: Oh my god the house is on fire!

Me (wise, has read books): And you're surprised? Houses have been on fire before [as the flames consume us both] Furthermore,

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

The goal *is* the wasteland-ification of much of MENA so that Israel and the Emirates can rule over rubble.

the war is not "aimless." It is corrupt, unjust and immoral.

200 people. The world’s twin super villains have already killed 200 people in Iran.

Recently some Americans showed a great deal of concern for civilians being needlessly murdered on the other side of the world, and every powerful institution worked together to punish, expel, silence, and deport those Americans. I think Americans don’t relish murder, but our leaders do.

Is it so hard to acknowledge that we shouldn’t be killing Iranians?

This sucks.

Trump II is everything people warned could happen if the Dubya administration got away with its civil liberties violations, advocacy of torture, and general authoritarianism - which, by the way, it did.

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.

The war is the problem not that they won’t project seriousness.

It is also terrible politics.

The obsession with hypocrisy gets in the way of understanding.

This goes double if instead they are airing weak procedural concerns that suggest the problem is how not what.

No public official gets credit for not being for something they aren’t loudly opposing.

Raiding schools in MN, bombing schools in Iran.

a progressive income tax? sorry kiddo, that betrays a "utopian" desire that can only ever end in tragedy. but a relentless program of constant wars, occupations, and genocides fast and slow, for oil, land, and fulfilling the commands of a blood-hungry god? thats just Adults in the Room doing Policy

Literally teaming up with Israel to attack Iran makes people treating the pretext with anything but searing contempt all the more ludicrous.

The U.S. government keeps telling us there’s no money for schools.
