Thinking about Landlocked Blues, one of the great protest songs of the Iraq War and especially these lyrics:
But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
If you're still free, start running away
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people.
This time, it comes from Jesse Singal.
I fact check it in my latest piece.

Any time you’re tempted to take legal academia seriously, just remember that John Yoo has never paid even the slightest price within the academy.
Scholarship that challenges white supremacy, colonialism, or state violence is labeled as divisive. Programs rooted in Indigenous, Latinx, and Black knowledge are consolidated, put under review, or dismantled. The result is not balance—it is containment.
It’s a good time to revisit this Current Affairs article from 2020 about library cuts in New Orleans: www.currentaffairs.org/news/2020/12...
This season is magnificent. There is so much to praise. The dialogue consistently knocks my socks off.
Thrilling catching up on the wild, epic poetry of megalomania in the last episode of Industry and then switching on the other reality where Trump is imposing 10% global tariffs as some kind of clap-back.
There ain’t no rule that says dogs can’t capture the hearts of Olympic viewers.
I defer to @virginie.bsky.social on all things linguistic. In my mind the proper way to say it is like a soft hybrid. I’m thinking (somewhat foggily) of how Paddy, for example, says Rhaenyra.
i think all the time about what @scumbelievable.bsky.social said about the Targaryens: they're like if each individual Kardashian had their own F-16 fighter jet

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
