Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 18h agoBrown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
obviously this is islamophobia, but it's also the liberal framing of american empire as always being reactive. none of our actions ever have consequences and no one ever has valid historical reasons to be hostile towards america
Mohamad Bazzi@mbazzi.bsky.social · 22h ago25 years after the tired American cliche of “why do they hate us,” helped instigate two forever wars (Afghanistan + Iraq), this is how @nytimes.com chooses to explain Iran’s political system:

These are probably the most important votes of the night. If Kansas and Missouri can reject flagrant authoritarian backsliding then so can everywhere else.
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 17h agoThe AP hasn't called either contest yet, but Missouri's Amendment 4 is losing 82-18 statewide and failing in every county with 10% of votes reporting so far. Kansas' Amendment 1 is losing 71-29 and getting crushed in numerous Trump counties with 26% of votes in. These look over
Americans are so desperate for a socialist government that even a guy who’s like “no I’m not a socialist but I think we should probably tax rich guys and give poor people healthcare” can put up Assad numbers

A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
it’s already illegal in scotland, they just don’t bother to enforce it, because (repeat after me) police are at liberty to choose which laws they enforce

while New Atheism was certainly rife with misogyny, racism, and transphobia, lets not pretend that's what "reddit atheist" was trying to insult like thats not a dealbreaker for many, our society loves that shit! it was only wheeled out to make criticism of religion look cringe, no matter how correct
Talia "Pre-Order CALL ME KIMBERLY" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · yesterdayThe road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.
