My people are pulling their dead children from under the rubble
You are complaining about gas prices rising due to your tax dollars spent killing those children
We will never be safe in the same room with you
As a proud Iranian born, Canadian, I do not want any help from the US and Israel for a regime change!
The government will be toppled when people are ready.
The same should happen in the US, and this criminal regime needs to go to prison.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.
If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.
If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.
Why does someone who overstayed their visa need to be held in shackles? Does any child belong in a prison camp? Does anybody deserve to be underfed, or brutalized, or denied medical care? presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...
Wow.
*pinches nose*
Time for your quarterly reminder that degenerate is a Nazi term, indicating the literal degeneration of a gene pool. Things this referred to: interracial marriage! Queerness! Disability!
It pretty much indicates they don’t think you’re human!
It’s not a cutesy way to say “leftist”

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head
The system is violence. ICE, prisons, the police, the US military. They were set up to murder, torture, dominate, abuse, control, and usurp. We are told not to imagine a world without these systems of violence while the cages and dungeons and bodies pile up.
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity
I know the idea of “better” policing is as old a demand as civil rights movements in this country, the impulse to call for it at this moment is so terribly cruel that it can only be understood as aligned with the terrorists.
It’s time.
I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight.
A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.
I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Every day of my mom’s life has been colored by the trauma of witnessing her mother’s torture and murder. That, in turn, colored every day of mine. Every single day ICE inflicts psychic torture on children whose souls will not heal and whose scars will bleed through onto their children. On and on.
Heres tonight's #TimelineCleanse:
I can't imagine MAGA doing anything like this.
It is so whimsical, creative & silly — an awesome way to protest.
Doesn't that look like fun?
I would have loved to have been there!
I hope we can think of something fun like that here in sunny California. 🌞 ☀️ 😎
I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.
The White House says the Smithsonian Institution must submit materials about current and upcoming exhibitions and events for a review that will determine whether they express "improper ideology." n.pr/4583d8f
I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.
