Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib
And now, Minab
We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes
My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...
As we all know, when you meet someone at a bar they are legally obliged to tell you the truth about their entire life.
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
They should invent a way out that isn't through
bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen
He fired Kristi Noem while she is speaking live. Lmao
I find it baffling that, just from a purely cynical standpoint, they donβt just adopt the default position of βif Trump does it, itβs bad.β Theyβll be right 98% of the time and attacking your opponent weakens them
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
"I had to punch that guy because I could tell he was going to hit me back once we jumped him" is just a description of jumping a guy
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)
An adorable nuisance
This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.
Human actors don't need a whole team behind them to have personalities, backstories, etc. Who is this even for?
Thomas L. Friedman, columnist at The New York Times "D-Day" by Thomas L. Friedman, The New York Times, March 19, 2003: But here we are, going to war, basically alone, in the face of opposition, not so much from "the Arab Street,' but from "the World Street." Everyone wishes it were different, but it's too late -- which is why this column will henceforth focus on how to turn these lemons into lemonade. Our children's future hinges on doing this right, even if we got here wrong. The president's view is that in the absence of a U.N. endorsement, this war will become "self-legitimating" when the world sees most Iraqis greet U.S. troops as liberators. I think there is a good chance that will play out.
Thomas L. Friedman on The Charlie Rose Show, May 29, 2003: What they [Islamic extremists] needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house-from Basra to Baghdad-and basically saying: Which part of this sentence don't you understand?: You don't think we care about our open society? You think this [terrorism] fantasy [you have]-we're just gonna let it grow? Well, suck. on. this. That, Charlie, was what this war was about. We coulda hit Saudi Arabia....We coulda hit Pakistan. We hit Iraq because we could.
Again, I wrote about this three years ago. Here's what Thomas Friedman had to say about Iraq in 2003. Now he's writing a piece for NYT saying this new war might be a good thing. www.readtpa.com/p/where-are-...
It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
"stop them from making IEDs"
does anyone know what the I in IED stands for
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Itβs been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why theyβre doing anything, and itβs terrifying that it seems to be getting worse
great replacement except they want to import racists
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

Your building's shoddy wiring led to the total destruction of her apartment and almost all of her belongings, and left her bouncing from to friend with her dog, and you have the audacity to respond "we will not be able to move ahead with the apartment"?!
My neighbor, whose apartment was destroyed in our building fire a couple of weeks ago, applied to rent an apartment from the same management company up the street and was denied the apartment with the same sort of civility you'd see in a form job rejection email.
shame is back on the menu boys
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
This guy gets it.
People in sci-fi novels are always naming their exploratory vessels shit like ICARUS and IXION and while I am not superstitious, I would maybe go with the USS GOT-THERE-SAFELY.
The ICC filing vs. the FIFA and UEFA Presidents is an opportunity to prove that international law still existsβand that collaborators in Israelβs grievous crimes will actually be held to account.
This complaint must just be the beginning.
We explain for @aljazeera.com.
