I read “the queen’s throat” this week alongside “things that helped”, a memoir about postpartum depression which also includes the cis author utilizing Anonhi’s voice in a related way to how opera queens use divas halschrieve.substack.com/p/queens-and...
if you’re a cis person about to heckle a trans woman on this site just like maybe give us today as a free one
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
What experts say about AI psychosis, how ProtonMail data helped the FBI identify a protester, and a viral app that exposed incredibly personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.
We need to stop accepting that these are "leading Jewish groups." They are not democratically accountable to the majority of American Jews, and I suspect the majority of NYC Jews do not care if Mamdani shares iftar with Mahmoud Khalil. I certainly do not! jewishinsider.com/2026/03/mamd...
From a thread about great Douglas Adams quotes. I think about this one *a lot* these days.

@sevenstories.bsky.social is showing up in opposition to the war in Iran. They have put together a reading list and even are releasing Chris Hedges "A Genocide Foretold" for free.
Check out the reading list. It is comprehensive.

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.
Here's the WHO explaining why the use of white phosphorus has been outlawed.
Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.
Sorry for the deluge of posts, but I've been meaning to share this. It's not just oil held up in the Strait of Hormuz.
Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.
“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.
The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

An illustration of an iconic NYC public library entrance sits on a light blue background. Text in red is overlaid that reads “March 18th, fund our public libraries, budget meeting, register to testify.” A link is included with more information to be reached at https://bit.ly/4b1ze3H Graphic created by @montimer.bsky.social
NYC City Council is holding a hearing on Wed March 18th to discuss the preliminary budget.
We need YOUR VOICE to tell them to fund our libraries!
You can testify over zoom, in person, or simply submit written testimony.
Here's an easy summary of how :

Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film.
This week on Reveal, we team up with @kcrw.com to tell the story of the film the BBC didn't want you to see:
Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, a U.S. citizen from Skokie, spent nearly 30 hours in custody by federal immigration officials after she was detained at O’Hare Airport last week. She was later released out of a facility in Wisconsin. Naqvi's sister called the experience "terrifying."
No sign of regime instability and military history 101 tells us that no one has ever bombed a country into democracy carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...
Above my pay grade to check the math but this argues (with data) that even under US attack Iranian drone production can keep SoH closed for months causing inflation, food shortages and global recession. US is facing catastrophic strategic defeat policytensor.substack.com/p/why-the-us...
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.
This breaks my heart and makes me blindingly angry
This video shows real smoke over Tehran from Israeli strikes on oil depots & fuel facilities last night—confirmed by NYT, AP, Al Jazeera, Times of Israel. Black clouds from burning hydrocarbons—not normal sunrise.
Remember when the IDF had a squad dress up as medical personnel to enter a hospital and execute an injured man in his hospital bed
this is VERBATIM the same
rhetoric Biden used at the start of the Palestinian genocide.
it’s really wild seeing this all happen again.

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... the spin on this article may be pro war; i do not support my government bombing iran. I also just feel miserable thinking about the struggle of people on the ground whose efforts for freedom are met with violence from militias and then bombs from “liberators”
