Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.
Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

My translator's foreword to The Feminist International & some comments on feminist translation today
The "double-tap" -- ensuring that they would kill not only the schoolgirls, but the people trying to rescue them.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Six suspected insiders made $1.2M betting on a US strike on Iran

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic’s Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.
That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings.
This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.
"Cuba’s Ministry of Public Health is reporting that more than 32,000 pregnant women face increased risks in priority maternal care, such as ultrasounds. The Cuban government also expects to see “limitations in the mobilization of commissions for the care of… 1/2

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Appreciate this piece as younger generations are both targeted and also making the path
"Children are not figures of innocence for political rhetoric, or “bait” for federal agents to use in hunting down parents. Young people are not just a part of our struggles, but at the forefront of them."
I absolutely love our college radio station. Turned it on last night and they were playing Todd Snider. Got in the car this morning to go to work and they're playing Bruce Springsteen's Streets of Minneapolis.
His climate legacy is rapidly eroding, and the last of his domestic legacy is expiring at the end of the year.
It's fair to say soon all that will be left of Biden's legacy will be genocide and Trump's return.
It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond
This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.
I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.
A beloved workers' rights organizer in Minnesota, known for *successfully* fighting against wage theft and labor trafficking, has been detained by federal immigration agents and is now locked up in New Mexico. His family is calling for his urgent release. inthesetimes.com/article/work...

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...
'Milei–who did not travel to the affected area–posted an AI-generated image of himself shaking hands with firefighters, calling them “heroes”. “It’s a little hypocritical and cynical,” says a local firefighter, adding that many of his colleagues have to take on other jobs to make ends meet.'
Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.
