Israeli strikes hit hospital in Tehran, witnesses tell Reuters Israeli strikes hit a hospital in Tehran’s Gandhi Street area, two witnesses told Reuters on Sunday, saying the hospital was badly damaged and patients were being taken out.

Israel's most moral army in the world just can't stop bombing hospitals, and they're out of hospitals in Gaza because of their continued genocide.

UI African American, Gender Studies faculty prepare for program closures University of Iowa faculty in African American Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies are preparing for closure of their programs following a review of "low-enrollment" degrees and majors ...

The closing of African American Studies and GWSS at Iowa is absolutely heartbreaking. It is such an important time to study these subjects. Words really cannot express how upsetting this decision is. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...

"You would literally be better served by flipping a coin" is quite the success rate.

A really difficult aspect of leftist organizing in the US is that we rarely have the funds to institutionalize our movements, and as a consequence our wisdom is rarely institutionalized and preserved.

It's hard watching this happen over and over again when it comes to talking about war.

I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark

talent alone could *never*

WANT ICE AGENTS TO HAVE BODY CAMERAS

Because of course they do. They want to expand ICE surveillance capabilities to centralize their authoritarian power.

Any Democrat who calls this "reform" is a liar or a fool.

Every capitalist's dream is to prevent you from using the stuff you already own in order to rent it from them instead

"one of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." -Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

Whenever I think of Fox "News" viewers, I think of this quote from Carl Sagan's book "The Demon-Haunted World":

Lengthy Twitter exchange that ends with John Ganz calling Richard Hanania a total piece of shit

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

to be clear, an "AI inbox" is an inbox riddled with surveillance

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Fantasy RPG setting where cooking works the way it does in crafting-based video games, like if you assemble a sandwich just right it can let you shoot fire from your eyes and shit, so cooking is a tightly regulated art. You can get thrown in a dungeon for marinating without a license.

Police in the US do their best to kill and maim protesters on a regular basis.

Those who aren't maimed or killed, prosecutors do their best to bury under the jail.

And cops work with armed right-wing vigilantes to kill even more.

And yet people are still coming out. It takes immense courage.

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it.

*shouts* EVEN AS A JOKE

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere

There are lots of other ways to address the very real harms that kids experience online:

✅ Strict privacy laws that make it illegal to harvest data and use it to recommend content

✅ Antitrust laws so we have real choices for where to go online

✅ Regulate features like autoplay & infinite scroll

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids

The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.

This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

Even queers who are "just little guys" living the most inoffensive possible life with their stuffies and their cozy games and their soft colors will just end up accused of "sexualizing children" the same way that babyfurs are accused. If you are queer you are offensive

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Men don’t have to “pretend to be women” to enter women’s locker rooms, changing rooms, and bathrooms. Famously, Donald Trump just strolled right in
