The US bombing of an elementary school in Iran was a precision strike, killing 175 people including children. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...
Seriously sick of this bloodlust that our sheer existence as American citizens makes us complicit in.

I'm so far away right now. But thinking about folks in Minneapolis who have endured so much more than their share of atrocities in the past days, weeks, and years, and still show up with courage and conviction.
A year ago - Jan 7, 2025 - from Sunset Blvd and the 405 - the emergence of the Palisades Fire. A fateful first day of events that perhaps defined Los Angeles the last year.
The media are complicit by reporting what this administration says as a matter of they said - they said.
Kidnapping and plunder.
Absolutely deplorable shit being done in our name and with our complicity.

The closest thing the left had to an answer to the question of what the future should look like (including aesthetically though with mixed results) was the green new deal. the petering out of that movementβs popular momentum in the Biden years has left a void that has yet to be filled
We grieve the loss of life in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen attacked a celebration of the first night of Hanukkah, killing at least 11 people. This was a terrifying incident of hate-fueled violence that no community should face.
After these terrible events at Bondi Beach and Brown University, Australia will probably move quickly to shut down even further mass carnage like this, the US will likely do nothing, knowing full well that more kids and many other innocent people will die again soon.
On wikipedia, mass shootings in Australia are grouped by century; those in the US are grouped by year, and these yearly groupings have links to more comprehensive lists with more events and detail.
NEW: 9 ex-DOJ lawyers who resigned from antisemitism investigations into UCLA and other UC campuses say they were pressured to find UC guilty of violations in a rushed and politically motivated process.

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, thatβs why.
Pretty disappointing to see this "showcase" home for Palisades rebuilding. This should be an opportunity to rethink how we've done things before, not double down bigger with more lowest common denominator design. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Incredible.
