Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

like, none of these things are mutually exclusive!

we don't need to pretend other governments are good just because our government is bad

we also don't need to pretend things are simple when they're not

and acknowledging things are complicated doesn't mean you can't be clear where you stand.

the US left needs to get get smarter about how imperialism and authoritarianism interact.

it can be true that Iranian ex-pats are celebrating in the streets AND that the Iranian regime is a murderous theocracy AND that the US/Israeli invasion is wrong, immoral, neo-colonial and rooted in greed.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

you'll never lose money betting on the US military murdering civilians

and wtf i wish that wasn't a thing you could bet actual money on in this horrific timeline

Singer-Activist Evan Greer Remembers the 2000s on '$5' Boston-based musician and activist Evan Greer has announced her new album with a song that looks back on decades of DIY shows and protests

cool time for revisiting Bush-era protest music i guess

‘Liberty Vans’ appear across US to help immigrants – and document ICE raids Volunteers offer moral and legal support, and document ICE actions with the aim of holding people accountable

Liberty Vans, or camioneta de la libertad in Spanish, are on a mission to defend vulnerable communities in the crosshairs of federal enforcement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In January we reported on how CT assets were repurposed to manufacture threats to support ICE operations.

Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch What a great time to add facial recognition to everything!

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

I guess I’m glad the center left will pretend to be anti war again for a year or so

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

how many cents per gallon is one Iranian schoolgirl's life worth, just curious?

sorry i can't be sharp or inspiring today i'm just so fucking angry

dead children lying under rubble because of US bombs is never a "distraction" and fuck you for saying so

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

if anything, the Trump-show is a distraction from the US imperialist war machine, not the other way around

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

The least human thing you can do I read a story just now about a man in Chicago who saved a baby after its carriage had been blown into the harbor by heavy gusts of wind. Lio Cundiff – who is a trans man not that it should matter her...

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you.

Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

the year is 2066. the small handful of surviving humans living in a bunker under Mount Kilamanjaro have just concluded their Supreme Court session.

turns out the strikes on Iran that started world war III and led to the end of human civilization as we knew it were

UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!!

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

we are mere hours from Trump admin officials going on TV and talking about how women and LGBTQ people are oppressed in Iran and that's why we need to bomb them

meanwhile half the US has forced-birth laws in place and Kansas just revoked every trans person's drivers license

Massacring children without Congressional approval: bad, reckless, will lead to a broader regional conflict, worst of all may raise gas prices

Massacring children with congressional approval: good, righteous, necessary to bring democracy to the region, for the good of women and children, moral

Like I can think of nothing that matters less. I cannot conceive of a more meaningless critique of military invasion or a more worthless thing to debate while bombs are dropping on schools

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

post your anti-war songs, people. here's mine www.youtube.com/watch?v=QURV...

they should also just say it's immoral and wrong. i don't give a fuck if an imperialist war is "constitutional" or not. human lives are human lives.

the Dem establishment's number one talking point since Trump arrived has basically been "this guy doesn't do things the normal way" rather than "the things this guy is doing are horrible."

now he's doing the most normal thing a US president can do: bombing oil rich countries for fun & profit

the reality is that for many many people in the US, Iran is an idea––a comic book villain that has been integral to our national storytelling project for decades––rather than a country where almost 100 million people live. people with hopes, dreams, and complex lives just like ours. fucking hell💔

*protecting your personal peace* is not the important thing when your country is murdering people across the world. please be serious.
