so many tried to warn that what we have been and continue to witness in Gaza is setting new norms for killing and destruction...

Iraq: Women’s rights activist Yanar Mohammed killed by gunmen Mohammed had returned to Iraq from Canada just a few days ago, prompting questions on whether her killing was a targeted assassination.

Rest in power and may justice be served

"Mohammed has been recognised as one of the country’s leading activists for women's rights in the country, having dedicated her life to protecting the country’s women from violence and other forms of abuse and exploitation."

The so-called West is built on genocide & colonization. to pin what is happening on 1 genocidal state erases the ongoing genocides that the West has partaken in since it first began to consolidate its power- including on its own lands. This isn't to protect 1 state, its to protect all of them

Trump’s Board of Peace Will Help Strong Countries Dominate Weak Ones In Gaza, it will legitimize Israeli land grabs and ethnic cleansing.

Reposting my take on the Board of Peace just to feel something

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

A screenshot of a tweet thread by Lakshya Jain (@lxeagle17). The main tweet reads: "FWIW the path forward for progressives is likely going to have to be on something people are broadly supportive of: preventing discrimination in hiring/housing. If you want to change public opinion, starting from favorable ground is important, even if it means ceding on sports." He quotes a previous tweet stating that public opinion aligns with conservative views on most trans issues, accompanied by a stacked bar chart titled "How people feel about transgender policy issues." The chart displays polling data from "The Argument's national survey" (fielded Feb. 4-10, 2026) regarding support for national laws on specific policies: * Allow gender surgery for minors: 13% strongly support vs. 50% strongly oppose. * Allow puberty blockers for minors: 18% strongly support vs. 45% strongly oppose. * Prohibiting the teaching of gender identity in public elementary schools: 39% strongly support vs. 24% strongly oppose. * Require transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding with their birth sex: 39% strongly support vs. 22% strongly oppose. * Ban discrimination against transgender people in hiring and housing: 43% strongly support (plus 20% somewhat support) vs. 14% strongly oppose. * Require transgender K-12 athletes to compete with their birth sex: 47% strongly support vs. 15% strongly oppose.

Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.

“It is unimaginable to me to see France side with the Israeli authorities’ propaganda against the UN special rapporteur,” Schams El Ghoneimi told Al Jazeera.

soo true- something i'm still bitter about is not knowing the resources available to me when i was younger and not knowing where to look. i look back and i bitterly wonder what life could have been if i just knew there were options

YouTube video by Politically Depressed What Are Tankies Really?

Almost all the view this video got was from direct clicks and from subscribers. For some reason, no idea why, seems Youtube isn't pushing it. Its part of my sense that I'm being shadowbanned there.

The rehabilitation of pro Assad propagandists who literally took money from Russia, Iran, and Syria into the pro palestine movement offends me as a palestinian. And fyi, is such a disservice to the movement.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

"At 4.15am, a missile was fired at our family home. Nine members of my immediate family were killed. Abood had been holding his daughter Zainab (Zozo) in his arms when his body was torn apart. His head and foot were severed. Zozo's arm was ripped from her body..."

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
