Wow this was an amazing show!!!

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

People say it a lot, but I don't think the coverup is worse than the crime in the Trump-Epstein case.

Proud to stand in solidarity with my union brothers and sisters at Labor Lobby Day in Augusta! A better world is possible when working people organize and take it. ✊🏼 Let's win this thing. @maineaflcio.bsky.social

Taxpayer dollars flood pregnancy centers. Oversight hasn't followed. • Maine Morning Star Editor’s note: This is the first report in an ongoing series. The patient came in with a belly full of blood, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung recalled. Her pregnancy was ectopic, no longer viable, and could…

The banality of surveillance Do our dull lives become worth watching?

The Banality of Surveillance
Benn Stancil

In which Benn writes about our phones, the increase in surveillance, and how everything–what we look at, where we are, what we search for, who we communicate with, everything–is made so much less tedious to discover and document with AI.

Anyone working in any capacity for this regime needs to be shunned as the monsters they are for the rest of their miserable lives.

Saturday Signs of Solidarity!
Monument Square, Portland, Maine
Today's signs were filled with messages of peace and anger - content that makes sense after the MAGA regime launched an illegal war with generational implications. Keep being unapologetic with your anti-war, pro-democracy messages.

It's an otherwise unremarkable, though powerful, place to visit. I encourage anyone interested in American Civil Rights and U.S. history to make it part of any tour of the south.

The president, breathing heavily and caked with makeup, is incoherently blaming Iran for the October 7 attacks by Hamas

Apparantly there are no decent Republicans in office or on the streets, anywhere

A reminder that making the rest of us watch in agony as they annihilate a people is also part of the intentional psychic terror of imperialist violence

Hot. ffs. 🤦‍♀️

In case you didn’t know, the new ‘bravery’ is cheering on an eighty year-old, six-time Vietnam draft dodger who is using other people’s money to drop explosives on school children from bombers 40,000 feet in the air.

Anyone opposed to this kind of heroism is a ‘sucker’, ‘loser’, and ‘coward’ now.

That whole admin gets hit for brutality. It’s just gross.

We must demand that our Members of Congress oppose ANY and ALL funding for Trump’s illegal war, including voting against any supplemental funding package.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

I would now add misogyny.

This is the eternal truth.

Racism, nationalism, religious extremism, and/or economic rivalry plays some part in most wars.

But until we collectively recognise that the root of all modern conflict is actually class warfare between the wealthy elite and the rest of us, nothing will really change.

The Iranians trying to 'show the world' the war through a blackout While the country's strict Islamist regime has blocked the internet and other forms of communication for most people, some have found a way to get their stories out.

"It seems there has been no preparation and no strategy to protect civilians. People are very isolated they don’t know how to protect themselves. It’s almost impossible for people [to shelter from air strikes] because there are no shelters."

Ukraine fairly expects equal help defending itself while helping protect the Middle East from Shaheds, Zelensky says. He thanked leaders backing the PURL program for Patriot missiles, noting air defense needs are rising both in the Gulf and at home.
