Julia al-Qudra, 5, died on Sunday from her wounds suffered in the Israel 's occupation forces attack.

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Not particularly looking forward to how petromasculinity's echo chambers will distort the simple cause & effect of Trump's international violence into instead unleashing yet more hate against anyone brown and/or "immigrant" and/or working at convenience stores with pumps in their parking lots.

Speaking of the public sentiment on AI — look at that complete lack of trust in both parties (and the industry) on the topic… What else polls like this? www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Palestinian historian and academic Walid al-Khalidi dies aged 100 The Jerusalem-born scholar leaves behind a legacy spanning decades of research and writing on the question of Palestine

A, monumental, loss. We have been so blessed to have Walid with us, all these years. A giant of a man. Today, a, great and vast, library burned down. Rest in sweet peace. Our hearts broken.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

This is not something we can reform. It has to be abolished and everyone involved needs to be held accountable.

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

THEY ARE BOMBING ISFAHAN
USA folks: Stop this. Now.

Iranian schools, hospital and landmarks among civilian sites hit during US-Israeli strikes A local in Tehran tell BBC Verify that the city has been turned into a "ghost town" as residents flee.

BBC Verify has analyzed videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to schools, a hospital, and historic landmarks in #Iran since US and Israeli strikes on the country began. Civilian casualties continue to increase as well. www.bbc.com/news/article... #Iran

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

The catastrophic impact to local health where the air is poisoned, as well as to our global ecosystem as they literally set the planet on fire and fill the atmosphere with pollutants

This is the first strike during this war that they hit the inner circle of Beirut. Until now, this area has been considered a safe neighborhood and district. Many of the displaced built up their shelters nearby at the Corniche. Horrific. #Lebanon #Beirut

The former diplomat Carne Ross observed in September 2015 in The New York Times:[181] For a former diplomat like me, I found it confusing: I kept looking for a hierarchy, the singular leader, or signs of a government line, when, in fact, there was none; there were just groups. There was none of that stifling obedience to the party, or the obsequious deference to the "big man"—a form of government all too evident just across the borders, in Turkey to the north, and the Kurdish regional government of Iraq to the south. The confident assertiveness of young people was striking.

region's administration has also been accused by partisan and non-partisan sources of authoritarianism, media censorship, forced disappearances, support of the Ba'athist regime, Kurdification, and displacement. At the same time, DAANES has also been described by partisan and non-partisan sources as the most democratic system in Syria, with direct open elections, social equality, respecting human rights within the region, as well as defense of minority and religious rights within Syria. DAANES has widespread support for its universal democratic, sustainable, autonomous, pluralist, equal, and feminist policies in dialogues with other parties and organizations.

In March 2017 the "United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria" was unable to find evidence to substantiate claims about ethnic cleansing, stating: Though allegations of "ethnic cleansing" continued to be received during the period under review, the Commission found no evidence to substantiate claims that YPG or SDF forces ever targeted Arab communities on the basis of ethnicity, nor that YPG cantonal authorities systematically sought to change the demographic composition of territories under their control through the commission of violations directed against any particular ethnic group

God its so funny how hard Turkey+the US tried to do a smear campaign accusing Rojava of authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing to justify attacking them

but then the UN/human rights orgs investigated and are like "...this is a bunch of anarchists who are almost neurotically obsessed with equality"

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I don’t wish any of this on Iranians or on the US soldiers who are being sent to kill and be killed

It’s all awful

Melt ICE, by Minnesota Artists United Against ICE 110 track album

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

The 1968 My Lai massacre killed at least 347 civilians. It led to congressional hearings and criminal trials. The bombing of the #Minab school, if confirmed to be an American airstrike, is a comparable massacre and scandal. A dark day in American history.

Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.

It’s been oddly surreal to hear the news framing the news around regime change in Iran and Cuba as the culmination of decades of shared agreement when Obama did significantly change US policy towards both in pretty recent memory.

Killing people should not be something we do quicker than the speed of thought
