Nearly a year after launching its deadly and illegal bombing campaign near the Caribbean, the Trump administration has killed at least 227 civilians at sea. The administration has provided no legal justification or reparations for these strikes, which is why we're suing.

How is this even possible when this is what essentially all US tax revenue pays for????

The sheer size of this was absolutely horrifying, like a tsunami in the mountains. I don’t think we have words for this, because flash floods are bad, this was 100 times worse.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 6d ago

The deadly flash flood in Nepal on Wednesday was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river, according to preliminary investigations by scientists.

Palestine will be free. All of Ireland will be free. Turtle Island will be free. Sudan will be free. All the peoples of this earth will be free. You can't kill the human spirit. We will prevail, don't ever forget that

Right now Netanyahu’s biggest political rival, which is gaining increasing popularity in Israel, is some asshole whose platform is that Netanyahu is being too soft on the Palestinians.

The things I am learning about nutrient deficiencies & illness… that we don’t get screened for & that could prevent illness but because they don’t have a diagnostic code you won’t know until your levels are out of range or that being low on certain things can mimic some of the common psych diagnosis

Remember, societal collapse isn’t equally distributed. And it isn’t some grand, cinematic catastrophe. What collapse is, is the erosion of those things you take for granted for your society to work, imperceptible until you can no longer count on your city having power or being able to bring it back.

I forgot how this app let’s accounts remove themselves from a quote (including news sources) and that it requires screenshots as evidence. Between that and targeted adding of people to f’d up lists it’s a lovely bastión of freedom. Bet politicians enjoy blocking constituents too

“I think Trump may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses.“ —Henry Kissinger, July 2018

"There's no other reason to do it than avoid paying taxes," said Sheila Bair, former chair of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp who helped clean up the banking industry in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. "There's risk for the firms offering this." 2008-2 confirmed Banks are scared

From the moment of her murder until today, the IDF claimed they had no presence in the area, despite commercial satellite images showing tanks in the area. They always knew exactly who killed her, her family and the paramedics who tried to rescue her. This “investigation” is just a PR stunt.

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans

A former member of Congress publicly saying, in substance, “I have direct knowledge that the administration is discussing using nuclear weapons against #Iran” is not a claim that should just drift through the news cycle like ordinary political shitposting.

Aya@melangell.bsky.social · 2w ago

Alright, sorry for the lack of "important posting." I had to take a small break for my own sanity. We're back with a whopper, though. #Iran

A food rights activist in Massachusetts has been on a hunger strike for over 2 weeks to pressure the state of Massachusetts to replace the food programs that were cut by the Trump administration. Liz Wills-O'Gilvie is the director of the Springfield Food Policy Council.

Fun fact low ferritin and b12 gives you all sorts of symptoms, but the shots to get you back up to level fast enough also have symptoms. I can literally feel body functions coming online - look it up, things like red blood cell production ramp up. It’s a very strange hard to put finger on sensation

The number of food and product recalls… it’s higher right? It’s not just in our heads? Bc they gutted all the agencies with any oversight and the fact that this many that have been caught with so little staffing implies there are even more we won’t hear about because it’s not been caught 😫

We should not have to explain our abusive childhoods to every stranger with an opinion on estrangement, it’s invasive and presumptive that anyone would go the route of estrangement and not have very deep trauma & valid reasons. Directing this topic/article at queer community is also truly diabolical

Garden update - tomatoes and dahlias and all the things, we had drought then wildfires, then way more rain than usual. I have a record 32+ tomato plants. Compost squash is bigger than ones I planted!

Everything is functionally so much worse! I feel like an old person when I talk about tech & right to repair laws and golden days of the internet. Why did we learn the importance of sources & citations in school only for the internet and entire professions to devolve to this ai slop

Platforms are finally recognizing that people don’t want to consume AI slop. A growing number of sites and apps now have tools and policies to flag, label, and ban AI-generated content.

Hayden Panettiere was vocal about the abuse she suffered in Hollywood from a young age. Like so many girls before her, she wasn’t protected. Now she’s gone. This is why we keep demanding the release of the Epstein files. The rich & powerful must be held accountable.
