"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

If you think Guernica is an awe inspiring statement on the horrors of war, may I introduce you to the incredible impact of the local crafting circle that decides their "no politics" rule is a failure in the face of a racist, fascist attack on their community.
Most political performances don't accomplish anything this concrete btw. I applaud the people who've pulled this off.

It's been a surreal experience watching the Olympics this year. Like, much love all around for the US athletes but also there is a clear tension between the nominal Olympic vibe - we all come together thru sport, yay peace and athletes - and the oppressive US government representing itself abroad.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to.
It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages, literature, & music studies matter. The arts, humanities, and social sciences shape our understanding of culture, identity, and the human experience. They are vital to fostering empathy, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to the world. 💪
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
