as always voting and letting your voice be heard is so incredibly important, especially these days. if you need resources or information on ways to contact a legislator or how to vote/register to vote PLEASE REACH OUT!! it would be an honor to help you be heard.

Poverty increases desperation and social alienation. Feeling connected to the benefits of being a part of a society increases prosocial behavior. Disconnection from those benefits decreases prosocial behavior. Impunity and isolation from normal society because of extreme wealth can also decrease prosocial behavior. Some people are shits regardless of the situation. It’s a game of tendencies and risk factors. We all want to build a society in which people’s work is rewarded and bit of bad luck doesn’t doom someone for life. Extreme inequality makes that harder. This is all pretty well-trodden ground.

"I wish they'd stop calling me a terrorist. That's what I wish. I wish they'd stop calling me a radical. None of these people are radical. They just want healthcare. They want to end American militarism. They want to spend money on roads, infrastructure, on schooling, on healthcare, rather than bombs overseas." HASAN IS SPITTING 🔥

⚽🇵🇸: Suleiman al-Obeid (aka the “Palestinian Pelé”) was among the greatest players in the history of Palestinian football, scoring over 100 goals in his club career.

In August 2025, al-Obeid went to seek food from a U.S.-run aid site and did not return. His teammate Ibrahim al-Amur says an Israeli quadcopter killed him.

His 18-year-old son continues to play football amid the rubble in Gaza. Bisan Owda spoke with him in her recent report: https://t.co/CQvGK5tkHj

i watched every single major western news outlet deny the most obvious genocide in history

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel executed Rayan today in Gaza with a bullet to the head.

He was only 3 years old.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel is committing a genocide in Lebanon.

Thank you for supporting @play_gridlock today. It wasn't perfect by any means, but that's why we have practice weekends!

From the feedback I've seen everyone LOVES the core game which is amazing to see. I have no doubt we'll be able to fix servers! We'll keep trying our best <3

Trump dropped bombs on drinking water infrastructure in Sirik, Iran — in “self-defense.”

Not military bases.

Water reservoirs.

20,000 people in Bemani are now left without drinking water in temperatures reaching 50°C.

Remember this when they talk about “precision strikes.”

[lan 兰 ✧ @proximacb_]

YALL BETTER APOLOGIZE AND BELIEVE IN RARGA NOW !!!!

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is South Lebanon today.

Israel has now bombed Lebanon more than 3,500 times during a so-called “ceasefire.”

Read that again.

3,500 Israeli bombs dropped during a “ceasefire”.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

Now THIS is a graduation speech

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.

Your rights are being stripped away in service of Israel’s impunity.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

Whoever said "the way they treat trans women in public is the way they'll treat all women in private" was only something. We've become an acceptable public outlet for all their fantasies of violence towards women

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!
