It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Literally love the rule of law so much
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Might be time to bust out one of my favourite climate stories of all time: how BECCS was mostly a kind of model hallucination
Put yourself in shoes of someone in a oil & gas importing country
Its triage: which hospitals get fuel, which industries shut, which crops get fertilizers?
Those who don't have deep pockets in a bidding war pay in increased hunger, lost wages and shrinking economies.

🚨🚨 Today, we’re launching “Stop Greed Build Green,” a strategic framework and agenda to confront the affordability crisis and the climate crisis together by putting working people in charge of the economy and the climate transition. (1/10)
literally i am get so excited imagining the open-source music recommendation algorithms one could make if anonymized listening data were public. A public universal spotify!
Some sources say it can be crypto or yuan. Others just say crypto.
Is this just US sources trying to hype crypto while putting their fingers in their ears about the extent of a China/BRICS win?
In Lebanon, nearly 1 in 5 people has been displaced by Israeli attacks, leaving the government to manage a modern crisis without modern digital infrastructure. www.wired.com/story/we-wer...
Last night, there was a collective breath of relief as a two-week ceasefire was announced -- one that would include Lebanon as confirmed by Pakistan's Prime Minister. Today, Israel is refusing to adhere to that and it is putting the entire world at risk.
Here's @timep.bsky.social's quick response ⬇️
As everyone focuses on Trump and the U.S., Israel just continues committing war crimes with impunity.
Humiliating for us in the US if we don't form crowds of similar size to condemn the atrocities of our leaders
As I said on MSNOW on Sunday, we need Democrats to be talking about and demanding the REMOVAL of Trump now! It doesn't matter there are not the votes in Senate to remove him--let Republicans go on record defending Trump's war crimes! More importantly Democrats should be taking fight to Trump now!
The unprovoked, genocidal war is inseparable from worsening wealth inequality and the immiseration of the 99%. Moral clarity isn't a distraction.
unfortunately they're not mutually exclusive.
The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.
Trump's genocidal insanity will leave office with him. But, unless that happens now, his lasting legacy will be the stain that sticks to the United States for a century; the country so flawed, cowardly and toothless, that it was unable and unwilling to stop an obviously mad tyrant.
um so who’s bringing sanctions against the u.s.? why isn’t the unsc calling an emergency meeting? why aren’t democrats doing a full court press for impeachment? this shit makes putin look moderate by comparison.
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
God help us.
The only appropriate response tbh
Got to work on this cool project with @cplusc.bsky.social to revitalize manufacturing to address climate & energy needs. Check out the report out today!
This is quite something. I learned this history from visiting this museum several years ago.
Disgraceful!
The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.
It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov
And Trump just bombed it...
it will never cease to fill me with anger and sadness how israel instrumentalizes the holocaust to justify its policies and deflect criticism of itself while conducting itself in ways that mirror the atrocities committed against us and calling this observation "holocaust inversion"
we gotta send so many guys to the Hague
This is a good and reasonable option, though I imagine they would (&should) demand similar for netanyahu and larger guarantees that Israel won't continue bombing & invading them and their neighbors
Been thinking a lot lately about how foreign disinfo has been overthrowing democracies for a long time, but traditionally it's been propagated only by the US and targeting the global south. Now Putin and Musk and others have just turned some of these tactics to the US and Europe as well
Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
How bad is it? In last 24 hours US+Israeli attacks on nuclear power and Iran's civilian steel industry.
