An Iranian warship destroyed in a US torpedo strike on Wednesday was "defenceless" and participating in an international naval exercise as a guest of the Indian navy, according to reports.
Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said “the Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk [sic] part in our Milan exercise”. Sibal added that because it was taking part in an exercise “it was defenceless”.
Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: "These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us.
"US submarine targeted their ship and killed them while they were returning home."
Shrinate also criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his failure to make a statement on the attack.
The Iranian warship that was bombed by the US was unarmed

(As a pedant, beekeeper, and anarchist I must add on the qualifier that “queen” is a very flawed term for the insects who are assigned that title by humans as bugs aren’t monarchists but that’s some real tangent territory)

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump
Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Sex work 🤝 Reproductive Justice
For true reproductive freedom to exist, all sex workers must have equitable access to affordable health care, freedom from violence, and the right to make decision about their own body without fear or coercion. #SexWorkersRightsDay

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Bear with me if you can as I attempt to use HPV vaccines to demonstrate why many can’t see the danger of RFK Jr.
TLDR: Disease prevention takes time and discipline. Not discipline of an individual, but the ability to invest in public health when the benefits may not be immediately clear.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History
The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.
When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.
They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

The judge sounded skeptical of Louisiana's argument that ending telehealth prescriptions for abortion pills would end demand for them. Logical, and a key element to establish standing: if court can't remedy your injury, you can't sue

RFK Jr. May Eliminate the USPSTF, Original Task Force Members Warn
Every single step that the anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr takes to dismantle the US medical, public health, & health research systems is incredibly painful & distressing
This one would hit so hard
Without the USPSTF, evidence-based screening & prevention would crumble 😢

The conclusions about student cognition aren’t the interesting part for me so much as the money being spent on youth surveillance that isn’t leading to better learning outcomes. Teachers are being laid off, schools & libraries are closing, books are being banned.
