BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction.

It’s abuser behaviour.

New U.S. Missile Hit Iranian Sports Hall and School, Analysis Shows

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead.

Not a serious question.

The reason to boycott the Harry Potter series is not just because of J.K. Rowling’s heinous views. Any money she makes from the show will be used to terrorize trans people. She has made this abundantly clear. This is not a theoretical.

Against Mamdani and Hochul's 2-K plan The choice to repeat unintended consequences is a choice to prolong the struggle of child care educators for a dignified wage and will harm children and families

I did not expect one of the most prominent socialists in the country to keep his promise with a policy that prolongs child care workers' struggle for dignity in their labor.

do you all understand. do you see. does this make sense.

AI is bad at symmetry.

This is exceedingly bad news.

Higher gas prices are going to make it significantly more expensive for me to represent people because it'll cost so much more to drive to courthouses but all I can think about fueling my car is that Iranian women are being forced to BREATHE what I'm putting in my tank.

I'm also invested

I also took up baking and cooking. On the plus side, it made sure I kept eating. On the negative side, I now have an emotional block around cooking and baking. So maybe pick a hobby you're okay with abandoning someday.

Highly recommend reading about DBT and its distress tolerance skills (and taking a class if you can). That's what got me through a period of relentless grief.

As best as I can tell comparing UB's summaries to others in NYS, it looks like UB's contracts are for speculative research instead of direct services. Not good! But fighting these awards may look different. Thank you for sharing this!

If I'm hearing it right, it sounds like these grants were free money from DHS?

The first visuals and an explorer for the ICE contract data by @micahflee.com:

Look up contractors in your area. Protest. Divest. Defund ICE contractors.

Help me out here, I'm not fluent in the language of contracts or grants. It looks like the University at Buffalo (SUNY) has 2 contracts through their research foundation. Total award $5,058,060; Total Obligation $0. What does a $0 obligation mean?

This is a policy of genocide.

Hey if your kid is taking an online class that uses Honorlock proctoring, please PLEASE complain to the school.

It accesses the student's video, mic, and files, requires a photo of the student and A FULL VIDEO SCAN OF THE STUDENT'S ROOM for their AI.

If the Epstein files teach you nothing else!

Roughly 2 USAIDs

Sorry I'm new here, what makes them forbidden and who is doing to the forbidding?

Covid can also cause insomnia! (Ask me how I know 😭)

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

so umm "invalidate the government IDs of targeted group and thus restrict freedom of movement" is historically speaking Very Bad

Not to be earnest on main, but I think it’s really important to remember that even though all the horrible things are undeniably America, this is America, too
