It should be against the law for anyone with power to have their own private bunkers.
I want them to worry about the same shit everyone else has to. It is dangerous to allow them to believe they can live forever, or avoid the consequences of nuclear war.
Maintaining "shocked" outrage can be a useful tactic, partly to push back against normalization, and partly to maintain enthusiasm for resistance.
It's similar to how the fascists were able to push things so far to the right.
I'd argue that it's worth continuing to push that line, if only because it makes it harder to plead ignorance, on the off chance there's actual accountability at the end of this.
...and those who do learn from history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it...
The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.
You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.
If you're wondering why there's so many anti-trans articles written by cis people while so few positive ones written by actual trans people it's because they're intentionally being silenced
Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.
"How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power"
🎩 Living in America, is exhausting
Hustle culture, is dead we are done
The juice, isn’t worth the squeeze
The game is rigged, so stop playing
We, need a national general strike! 🇺🇸
If we don’t do this now, then we have no future, it’s only going to get worse!
SHUT THIS WHOLE COUNTRY DOWN!

"Kids. Women beaten and raped. Their organs were ruptured. Bones were broken,
hard cold-fisted brutality by police officers, and nothing was being done to protect. And I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.”
Iran may not have nuclear weapons, but they do have radioactive deterrent capabilities.
It really doesn't seem like the US government actually understands the nature of the war it just started.
Iran basically has the ability to shut off the drinking water for anyone pulling it from the Persian Gulf.

The Titicaca water frog (Telmatobius culeus) - the largest truly aquatic frogs in the world.
They're found at 3,920m above sea level, in Lake Titicaca.
These frogs are famous for their loose, baggy skin folds, which allow them to absorb oxygen directly from the water.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Misconception about authors: We find a publisher for our first book and then they will be our exclusive publisher forevermore.
Reality: They might publish many more books of ours. Or they might never publish another. Personally, I have five different publishers (so far). I contain multitudes.
We still have the president of Venezuela we illegally abducted, locked up in a US prison.
UN inspectors confirmed Iran does not have nuclear weapons.
If they had nuclear weapons the US wouldn't be invading them
bitch what the fuck
It doesn't seem like the Democratic Party, as a group, has accepted the reality that this is real, actual fascism, with everything that implies.
I'm sure some do, just as I'm sure some are willing collaborators, but it feels like many of them are still in denial.
the truly wild thing is there's no way to know if you're in their little fucked machine. It's a dynamic system that suggests "experts" contextually. there's no list, there's no nothing. so if you don't know you're in it how do you know to opt out?
There's always 2 needed to tell rightwing political lies, a right-winger who tells the lie & a sensible centrist to believe it because "that's the sensible position & the RWer will surely not go beyond that!"
But the rightwinger WILL go beyond that & the centrist will say his sentence yet again.
If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.

We are indentured servants.
We are not free.
The oligarchs basically just ‘modernized’ slavery.
The prisons need bodies.
Recidivism rates have been decreasing.
They’re taking away our rights to privacy and bodily autonomy.
Human trafficking is lucrative.
This is a five alarm fire.
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.

When I graduated from high school my counselor (who was great) told me it was good I wanted to be a physicist because I'd never be a great writer. I was also the worst writer in my frosh expos course.
I am now an award-winning writer. BECAUSE I PRACTICED!!!!!!
it's fucking absurd how much time we all spend having conversations that neither the employee nor the customer want to be having because some high level corporate freak thinks it will improve customer retention by 0.04%
This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
