Emergency protests against war on Iran in cities across U.S. Act Now to Stop War & End Racism

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

It’s the Trump Administration That’s Threatening the Worldβ€”Not Iran As the White House takes the U.S. to war, here are five reasons to oppose the attacks on Iran.

The strikes mark the beginning of β€‹β€œmajor combat operations,” according to President Trump, and in response Tehran has reportedly launched retaliatory attacks in Middle Eastern countries that host U.S. military bases.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

nice exploration of how right wing propaganda and "pink slime" newspapers (fake local papers built by right wing propagandists to lie to locals) propped up the whole AOC "um" non news cycle

The logic is forthrightly, "Law enforcement should be able to use invasive investigatory tools not available to or knowable by the public and then also shield the results from the public." Which is about as anti-4th-Amendment a take on policing as you might ever find. Former prosecutor indeed.

Governments bending over backwards to protect rich paedophiles don't give a fuck about child safety. The *whole point* is to collect your data. "Child protection" is just the justification they think you won't argue against.

The VCs bros have convinced themselves they are on some moral crusade. They will be behind the scenes trying to cling to power in the midterms and beyond.

Side note, they are also the biggest bunch of dorks

It's really annoying that the administration has successfully gotten many people to accept the premise that it would be okay to murder her if he had been nudged with her car at low speed when he was not even, in fact, nudged with her car at all and just fucking slipped and panicked

Older generations spent a lot less time parenting. Millennial dads spend nearly as much time parenting as Boomer moms did. Millennial and Gen X moms way more.

"ICE can’t be reformed. It needs to be dismantled."

🧡- Abolish ICE is the only serious, realistic solution. It's been rotten from its Bush-era start and is now entirely irredeemable just on basic good government grounds. You can't fix a lawless paramilitary force of brutal goons.

Panel graphic of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking at the Capitol.

First panel: "I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for ICE."

Second panel: "All that extra money was taken out and given to ICE."

Third panel: "You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face."

The Republican cuts to your health care are helping to fund ICE.

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

ICE is also majorly targeting Black people. Doesn't matter if you "were born here." They are harassing people left, right and center.

It's *good* that public people who lots of folks pay attention to wore anti-ICE pins to a swanky event. It has gotten coverage. People who do not closely follow politics might get curious and look for information. And under fascism, making public your ethical stance is important in and of itself.
