When we center our shared humanity, we can make an argument against militarism that resonates with everyone. In doing so, we can also begin the positive work of planning a world premised on peace.

Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people. It goes on from there.

Race science in the US was invented to justify slavery for the benefit of capital. It created another condition for the ruling bourgeois class: whiteness. The two have since evolved together and racism is now it's own beast, too. They are intertwined and need to be fought at the same time.

Why does the world allow genocides in places like Congo, Palestine, & Sudan? Racism. Why can the US instigate an illegal war in Iran with no real pushback? Racism. Why is ICE allowed to freely murder & brutalize people? Racism. Why can’t we truly progress as a society? Racism.

Climate collapse continues to be accelerated. These effects are likely the result of previous decades of increased heat energy (warming). The atmosphere has no borders and the weather behavior is rapidly becoming erratic and unpredictable.

This is Colorado's worst drought in over 5 years: 95% of Colorado is in some form of drought, and 21.6% of Colorado is in the highest category of drought. Both of those figures are the highest % levels since March 2021. Need a big spring/summer. #COwx

Hypernormalization (2016) was prophetic about this topic. "In an age of individualism, what made people feel secure was to have themselves reflected back to them, just like in a mirror." youtu.be/Ngma1gbcLEw

A paper in JAMA Psychiatry says mental health providers should ask if patients are using artificial intelligence chatbots, just as they would ask patients about sleep habits and substance use.

Anthropic, an AI company, hosted Christian religious leaders at its headquarters last month. Anthropic staff sought advice on how to steer Claude’s moral and spiritual development as the chatbot reacts to complex and unpredictable ethical queries.

This is also hilarious because if they were actually worked about creating skynet or whatever, they would just pull the plug. Remember to always ask: who benefits? Especially when seeing outlandish narratives like this.

Alright Iran, you hold all of the cards. I'm looking for complete and total US surrender and capitulation. Yankees GTFO

Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, is set to host peace talks today with leaders from Iran and the US, including Vice President J.D. Vance. n.pr/3Q1oBr0

By "the middle east conflict" they of course mean the USAI's war of aggression against Iran. This is a good thing, if not for Americans. We're about to feel a fraction of the pain we have imposed on them (and the rest of the world) for decades.

Not really. Iran has all the cards right now. All they need to do is wait for the effects of the strait closure to hit. Good for them, I hope for a full surrender and compliance from the US regime.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

As the U.S. and Iran prepare for ceasefire talks Saturday, the two countries appear to have common ground on only one thing — their need to find an exit ramp from the war.

This is what happens when profit is the foundational motivation of the system. Healthcare in the US is comically overpriced, so when a public health crisis meant offering a vaccine for free, people naturally did not trust it. Not to mention the Tuskegee experiment and other reasons not to trust US.

Covie@covie93.bsky.social

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

The USAI war of aggression on iran, you mean. It's awesome how they hold all the cards. The effects of the strait being closed haven't even hit yet. All they have to do is wait.

Who are you calling on to lock her up? The Trump admin? Lol

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social

Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours regarding Benghazi and 6 hours regarding Epstein because she didn’t have anything to hide, yet bribe for hire Pam Bondi is illegally refusing to show up to a deposition regarding Epstein because she has everything to hide. Lock Pam up.

Hilarious

BREAKING: Kamala Harris just gave the clearest signal yet she’ll run for president again in 2028. “Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention.

Blocking the straight is objectively good here, and a silver linning we should be grateful for. Get the Yankee military bases out of everyone else's countries and have us feel a fraction of the pain we have imposed on the rest of the world.

Brent Crude@my2bits4u.bsky.social

If we had continued on with Obamas investments in solar ,wind, clean energy and electric cars the straight of Hormuz could have gone and fucked itself by now.

Dodging the draft is the only good thing Trump has done in his life. Anyway it's way too unpopular, it would be suicidal to impose a draft on people who are starting to burn things down.

Jen aka Grantifa 🐸@grantifa9.bsky.social

Draft dodgers shouldn’t have the power to impose the draft.

Even worse than I thought. Just repeating AOC's awful cop out by saying they can pay for it instead. They are clearly only shifting because of public opinion and the DSA forum considering not to endorse AOC, as she prepares to run in 2028. Also normalizing J-Street because AIPAC is too toxic-

BREAKING: Israel has confirmed its soldiers will not be joining the US in the ground invasion of Iran, due to the concern that they would have to fight grown men, rather than unarmed women and children

The regime is counting on this giant pity block party to get people to let off enough steam to become complacent again. A real movement would withhold labor, boycott as much as possible, and start building real parallel systems to support one another.

The thing about the whole “social media addiction” campaign from Heritage and all the other far right fundamentalist groups, is that they’re openly bragging about how they’ll use these “kids online safety” legal precedents/laws to censor LGBTQ ppl off the internet

How BBC "News" makes propaganda lies: Always refers to "the war WITH Iran" Never "the attacks on the people of Iran, Palestine and Lebanon". Weasel words from the same old far right capitalist state broadcaster and it's grovelling employees.

When you read real working class history about powerful movements for change, they are longterm actions with demands and leverage. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted over a year. How? People walked everywhere, and others supported with food and transport. This is a big pity party to let off steam.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

Are Americans going to stand by and watch as our country destroys Iran like we did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and countless others? The suffering of Iranians is in all our hands. Boycott USAI, and Americans need to leverage our power to help stop this brutality at home. Yankee imperialists gtfo!

Banning social media for children in practical terms means forcing everyone to tie their online identities to their government IDs. Regulate or break up the monopolies like meta, don't force internet censorship and restrict access to information.

Semiannual block parties are not nearly serious enough for this moment. Want things to change? Grind things to a halt and watch how quickly you grow your leverage. We need to be protesting and withholding labor every day to end the deadly behavior of the US regime.

Are you fucking kidding me? Another horrific mass murdering of swana and Muslims, and this surges antisemitism?! This is how normalized anti-swana violence and hate is. The victims are the aggressors. Unbelievable.

Democrats? Voting with Republicans to save them when it comes to domestic spying? Say it ain't so!
