I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

Just read this article on the US & Israeli strikes on a school in Minab, Iran.

- At least 168 killed, including many girls aged 7-12.
- The school was bombed THREE times, not once.
- There were claims this was on an IRGC military base, but the base was closed 15 years ago.

This is a war crime.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

I think it is the same place then! Love the look of pampas grass.

I think I have taken a photo of that exact grass location if the building to the right in your photo is a brick one. It’s lovely.

I prefer “spisweet” over “swicy.”

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

To say what our government is doing is unconscionable greatly under states what’s happening?

I Would Start A War In Your Arms A Heated Rivalry Notebook

In which @alexanderchee.bsky.social writes beautifully (as always) about the way Heated Rivalry has become a fragment shored against the ruin of almost everyone's mental health, and the artistic and narrative joys of both its universality and its specificity. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...

Hey Seattle friends: kids from several schools in the Rainier Beach area are doing a march in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Friday, January 16 from 9:30 am to 11 am, starting at the Rainier Beach community center. In this difficult time they're asking for neighbors march with them.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Person speaks at rally

Crowd in downtown Seattle

Sign no more blood for oil

Person with sign no war with Venezuela

About 200 people are rallying in downtown Seattle to denounce U.S. military strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president Nicolás Maduro. The attacks occurred overnight and were authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump. Organizers called for a new anti-war movement to oppose the attacks.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

What happens when you go on a Star Wars rewatch after finishing Andor.

Would love a review! I love the idea of these but for whatever reason haven’t dipped my toes in but this one is tempting.

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

imo if all the richest ppl on the planet are at once begging you to lower your standards for art and media consumption you can bet that it benefits them more than whatever they selling your ass on and should consider the opposite of what's suggested

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are loved

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

Truly! Was really hoping for a SIFF showing.

Definitely a slim selection of theaters for this release. Doesn’t look like there is single theater in Seattle?

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Worth mentioning that a key to great Brussels sprouts is to give each one ample space on the roasting tray. You want to avoid steaming them as a result of them being close together on a sheet pan. I will use two separate trays at times.
