The fear of being sexual assaulted by a group of men is something EVERYONE understands

The fear of being sexually assaulted by a group of men is the one thing keeping a lot of men out of jail

Rape culture in America is like water to a fish

rape an unconcious woman behind a dumpster? you have a bright future.

gang rape a woman with your teammates? you'll still get drafted to the NHL.

drug & rape a student with your frat bros? just write an essay.

say 'free palestine'? expelled & charged with acts of terrorism.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.

At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.

It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

"Some researchers and scholars estimate the actual death toll in Gaza at 680,000."

"If confirmed, 380,000 of them are infants under the age of 5."

Except, this is not breaking news.
We have known this estimated figure since last year!

But as is the MO for Israel, they will only admit this death toll as a “mistake” or “collateral damage of war” after a series of denials, deflections, and justifications. Just long enough for people’s rage to have dampened.

@MetalGearAnarch @zei_squirrel He literally wrote an article called “Believe Me, It’s Torture”

I reported my rape to my university. They refused to investigate for months until I retained a lawyer. Continuously pressured me to do an "alternative resolution" process (like letter writing instead of formal sanctions) instead of a full investigation. 🧵

The homeless woman murdered in Central Park was a beloved artist and birdwatcher who made beautiful pieces dedicated to birds. She went by Lee Rogers, but also was known as Elise Bainbridge Hill. Her art was awesome. I hope her life story is shared and not just the grisly details

This argument doesn’t work. Romani people were also targeted in the Final Solution and a primary target alongside Jews for the Holocaust. There has been no Romanistan promised to Romani people. We don’t want it, we do not need it. It’s about colonialism and nationalism not grief

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

My understanding is that @jvplive put together a private, exclusive protest for celebrities and influencers to raise their profiles by getting arrested at. No notice was given to the public. Are we trying to stop the genocide or promote careers?

[Achmat Akkad @BlackIntifada]

Posting this as his police force brutalizes anti-Netanyahu protestors is a perfect example of how he exploits Palestinian symbolism to hide his complicity in Zionism.

It was Eric Adams administration that filed the lawsuit against DoorDash.

“That’s unacceptable, and we’re deeply sorry”

No, you’re not. This is the business model. “Move fast, break stuff” means break laws so fast that no regulatory body can keep up. The fine never outstrips the value generated for the company in the long run

[Tired Peasant @HorrorGorl]

I hate when people say, “Change takes time.” Then why were Flock cameras and data centers rolled out so quickly? It feels like change only happens fast when it benefits the wealthy or expands the surveillance state.

[Jeffrey Evan Gold @jeffgoldesq]

This Austin ICE shooting is pretty incredible. They smashed the DoorDash driver's car. They shot the driver in the back. They pull them out of the car. Tear open his shirt. Confirm he's been shot. Take him to the hospital. Remove him 4 hours later with the bullet still in him and bring him to detention center for questioning, refusing to tell his family where he is. Apparently he's still there with the bullet in him today, without pain meds, without seeing his family, without seeing counsel, and with ICE doing its own investigation into itself.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

One thing that's becoming very clear is the extent to which Zionists use Black Americans as a human shield to justify inflicing Jim Crow-style apartheid against Palestinians.

[Noah Sinclair @noahcites]

🚨 Oh my god. Brad Bradford’s campaign is reportedly using an Israeli app that gives supporters AI-generated comments to post under their own names.

But somehow that is not even the wildest part of this story. 🧵
