You also do not need to declare your support or opposition to the Iranian government to oppose the bombing.

If you are serious about "never again" then remember: it's not about standing up to a line of tanks when the camps are already running. It's about standing up to social & professional pressure when the whole thing is just getting started, when it's not yet cool to do so. That's bravery that matters.

Fuck the United States. It’s long past time the rest of the world stood up to its bullying and the way it throws around its economic weight to force other countries to act as it wants them to. Now that US economic aggression is even hitting Western allies, will they finally rein in the US?

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

You are up to date.
