This is a sick civilization.
An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.
Tucker Carlson issued a more direct and clear repudiation than 98% of elected Democrats.
Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"
everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
Democrats truly do need to use moral language to condemn republicans
The right is the side of moral evil. No other group in the country is more objectively evil than right wing evangelical christians
Do not let evangelicals own the concept of “morality”. Use moral language and people will respond
Donald J. Trump & @realDonaldTrump Follow ... There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III! She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World! 3:06 PM • Aug 25, 2024 • 13.5M Views
Theres no point voting for Democrats anymore because they don't even do anything
All I can think about is that aerial shot of the White House surrounded by No Kings protestors who did nothing but stand there with signs for a few hours.
Imagine if the roles were reversed and Iran had the madman with nukes. A guy who destroyed a 250 year old democracy in about a year. Started a war for no reason. And then he posted that he was gonna end American civilization. How would you feel about Iranians saying "relax he's not serious"
The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh
Is it inevitable? Were we always going to end up here?
Are you fucking serious right now
Get your ass on that plane and head back to DC or shut up forever
Text from the original BBC article: Radin, also in his 20s and living in Tehran, said: "About then hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or levelling Iran. My honest reaction is that I'm OK with all of these."
Text from the updated BBC story: Radin, also in his 20s and living in Tehran, said: "If attacking targets in the country brings down the Islamic Republic, I'm fine with that. Because if the Islamic Republic survives this war, it will stay forever."
Wow this is insane. The BBC posted a story yesterday with a supposed quote from an Iranian citizen saying he is okay with the US dropping an atomic bomb on Iran. After pushback, without public acknowledgment, they just changed the quote in the story to something completely different.
If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
"A whole civilization will die tonight" is something that should be followed by a swift military couple and unseating of this mad man at the least and international emergency stops put in place to stop this. Instead the entire western world is sitting back while Trump might launch a nuke.
Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Oh my God fuck this Haidt figure who has pretty much controlled this entire conversation and no one will bring up the fact he's a transphobe who's whole goal is to kill the internet by killing Section 230. He DOES NOT CARE about children. AT ALL!!!
Are you serious right now? Why are you pro age verification and handing children's IDs to Palantir??? Because that's what would end up happening with this proposal. As has happened with every single law like it.
Really not loving how basically every politician on the planet is jumping on board with these types of age verification laws, tbh!
Trigun stargaze was a massive disappointment. There's a lot to say but I'm just extremely upset at how they handled the story.
Bar graph titled "Women are paid less than men at every education level" and subtitled "Average horly wages, by gender and education, 2025"
Women with an advanced degree are paid the same as men with just a bachelor's. And at every education level, women's hourly wages are about 20% lower than men's
This is an incredibly important piece by @masnick.com about the verdicts against Meta and I really hope you read it, because I think very few people understand the situation. Two things can be true...Meta and Zuckerberg are terrible, but so are these verdicts. www.techdirt.com/2026/03/26/e...
It’s shocking how the motivation behind almost every single bad tech bill is about hating LGBTQ people and specifically trans people
this is actually why i once had a positive opinion of Rowling. As a kid I got bullied for reading giant nerdy books. Once HP got huge suddenly every kid was hauling giant tomes around school and I didn't get laughed at anymore.
no public figure ever burned more of my goodwill faster
I know the media is interviewing regretful Trump supporters about the war and gas prices, but I do wonder how long it will be before they realize how absolutely irrevocable their lives and the lives of their children will be because of the Big Beautiful Bill. Like it's OVER for the average American.
