For #IWD2026 I can't help but think of the wise words of @monaeltahawy.bsky.social :
'Make your heart too rebellious for the patriarchy’s attempts to plant itself within you.
Make your mind too free for fascism to chain your imagination.'
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
There it is. “Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target” 3/6/26 … 1/
“America’s current descent into lawless, violent, unaccountable government is at least a little bit a story of psychosexual unmooring. Republicans were once the party of prudes. Now their politics are, in every way, an exercise in perversion.”

The fascism is killing us, some faster than others, but nearly all of us either way.
Monsters always call their victims monsters.
Schlapp apparently thinks that it's justified to kill little girls rather than have them existing in a Muslim country. Or...he doesn't know the difference between Iran and Afghanistan..or both. Probably both.
A feeling based on fact is when you feel wet poop on your butt because of the fact you just took a huge dump in your pants.
The commander of the naval vessel has a name, as do those who follow their orders. I hope they know that their leadership isn't going to stand up for them when the pendulum swings back.
Eventually, I'm going to say "so long," delete my email, close all my social media accounts, and live out the rest of my days sitting on the front porch listening to the birds and the children playing.
I'm looking forward to it.
I want JFK, Jr to prove that driving is safe. Or breathing. Or, and hear me out...swimming in sewage.
It's remarkable that the national media is saying the takeaway from Talarico's win over Crockett is "Democrats are too far left" when the two of them are so ideologically similar.
It's almost as though "too far left" means "too Black."
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

If you were a tiny theocracy whose existence was disputed by every country that borders you, and you had a huge bullying nation as an ally, what strategy would you use to ensure that the bullying nation NEVER told you "No"? Would you employ that strategy with every other ally?
1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:
Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.
Its a horrifying escalation.
The kind of country that is run by toxic, useful idiots in service to the billionaires sucking the country dry. Hungry, sick, and ignorant citizens don't have the energy to fight back.
White Nationalism in America: A history of hate that never left: White nationalism has been embedded in American law and politics since the nation’s founding. From the KKK to the alt-right to mainstream policy, here’s how this ideology of hate evolved — and why… #farrightextremism #fascism #history

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

“There are only two things you can do at the State of the Union, and they are sit down and stand up. I was arrested for standing up.”
Any state that proclaims itself to be the embodiment of a religion or that its actions are equal to the will of a god deserves to be destroyed. A state that takes that stance has lost its humanity.
"Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul."
Bob Dylan
Why Are We Subsidizing Data Centers Instead of Creating Real Jobs?; "Data centers should pay their fair share of taxes—no exemptions—just like other companies in Virginia" - Michelle Moore bluevirginia.us/2026/02/why-...
Growth is not endless. Life and death are vital parts of the same system. One person or company cannot continue to amass resources until there are no more resources. Like a balloon overfilled with air, eventually the system ruptures. Equilibrium is reestablished, but it's not the same system anymore
This country is profoundly sick. Lost. Goddammit.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection.
New rule: If your name comes up in the Epstein files, you are obligated to issue a public explanation, along with the full text of your inclusion.
I don't care who you are. Explain it.
