Why is there no anti-war movement even though the war is very unpopular? Top reasons imo
1) Americans feel powerless
2) People are hoping the war ends quickly
3) Trump Is doing so many awful things
4) People confuse mobilizing w/ organizing
5) Sectarianism has helped marginalize anti-war activity
The 'Freedom Trucks' will haul AI slop George Washington on a tour across 48 American states.
Columbia is the richest school in the richest city in the richest country in the world, but you pay more in taxes than it.
Uptown needs a leader who will make corporations like Columbia pay their fair share, not a politician bought by them.

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.
Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
The plane depressurizes, but folks are happy owning the libs as they pass out.
I miss the good old days when the president would spend a year lying before starting a pointless and destructive war, now they just don't bother with that kind of dedicated preparation.
"The working classes have always been the caring classes — not just because they do almost all of the caring labor, but also because, perhaps partly as a result, they actually are more empathetic than the rich. Psychological studies show this, by the way. The richer you are, the less competent you are at even understanding other people’s feelings. So trying to reimagine work — not as a value or end in itself, but as the material extension of caring — is a good start." . - David Graeber
A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Congratulations and thank you to the brave people of Los Angeles, Chicago, Minnesota, and elsewhere, whose sustained resistance has claimed Kristi Noem.
Let's all learn from this and keep on going.
Kristi Noem fired as DHS Secretary!!!
"All member states have been cited for human rights abuses in the State Department’s two most recent annual human rights reports, including for some of the gravest possible violations."

PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE U.S.
I just recently noticed that this NYC block is named for Leon Davis, the old Local 1199 leader.

If Trump can bomb a country and kill their leader, and bomb another country and kidnap their leader, and kill over 100 folks in boats in the Caribbean, and have masked goons kidnap and kill folks in US cities with zero accountability, then democracy is over. We have THIS YEAR to stop this madness.

The Board of Peace in action.
"The Board of Peace was sold to the UN security council in November as the only path to ending the slaughter in Gaza, but it had been clear long before the first missiles were fired at Iran, that it was a “bait-and-switch” scam."

National Treasury Employees Union response:
“Regardless of whether the IRS continues to recognize NTEU as the exclusive representative of its bargaining unit employees, there is no dispute that the Federal Labor Relations Authority certified that status, and has taken no action to undo it."
I try to follow the exercise research, and I like that the conclusion is, just do something.

I think I'll probably skip his shouted word salad.
How is everyone not always talking about the giant ground sloths? They are fabulous.
Info on the giant ground sloth.
Love that the Joshua Trees were spread by the, *checks notes*, "Giant Ground Sloth."
I love that NYC is paying $30/hr to shovel all this snow!
Haha wow, it does sound stupid like him.
