RIP Salad and Go. Started by two ppl in AZ who wanted good food to be as cheap and fast as McDonalds. Then private equity bought it in 2020, forcefed it growth it couldn't digest, and rode it into Chapter 11. Founders exit rich, we lose somethin good. Vampire squid strikes again.

[rachel @rache440]

what the fuck they’re closing all salad & go locations RIP to the only fast food with bomb ass tofu and amazing prices 💔💔💔💔

“Forever War” but it’s just Trump constantly threatening to revoke/extend the ceasefire so his administration can do insider trading while you pay $5 a gallon for gas.

The greed is insane. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

[Circe @vocalcry]

No you don’t get it when Trump says “a whole civilization will die tonight” he is being hyperbolic and posturing unlike when Iran says “death to America” which is actually a very serious threat and should definitely serve as the basis for an invasion

[Daractenus @Daractenus]

My problem with the “he wouldn’t actually do it” and “institutional checks would step in to stop him” arguments regarding any of Trump’s unhinged threats is that we are in this position precisely because, at every prior stage, he did do it and nobody stepped in to stop him.

I just got to hear my band play on the radio and that was so wild

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

does iran have a right to defend itself? does palestine? does lebanon? or is it just israel and america who get to claim self defense as they engage in wars of conquest?

[Sara McGee for Texas HD 132 @SaraForTexLege]

I simply cannot wrap my head around this level of political suicide without thinking that there are some sinister things planned for the November elections.

Israel is a mature fascist society in endpoint genocidal mania. There is nothing more to say about it. Its civil society has comprehensively failed, and can't maintain the charade of the rule of law. All that's left is international coercion, and hopefully we'll get there soon.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known.

Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

[Anna Horford @AnnaHorford]

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe.

Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.

[jon drake @DrakeGatsby]

You have to stop assuming he’s trying to do a good job. The current administration is not interested in governing. They are only worried about extracting as much wealth as possible and insulating themselves from the consequences

[Nima Shirazi @WideAsleepNima]

The United States is a genocidal enemy of humanity, a greedy and gluttonous rogue nation, a world-historical menace whose crimes and atrocities must be stopped and those who've ordered, enabled, and committed these horrors held accountable.

[Circe @vocalcry]

Everything is perfectly clear. Iran could not be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, which they have been months away from developing for well over a decade.

Also, Trump is the only president who could have kept us out of war with Iran, as he himself repeatedly told us. So we destroyed their nuclear capabilities, which Tulsi said they didn't have, in 2025. Then we attacked them last month because Israel was going to attack them because they were months away from developing a nuclear weapon since we destroyed their nuclear capabilities, and that would lead Iran to attack American bases.

Iran has never posed a threat to the United States, but we had to attack them first, not because of Israel, but because they posed an imminent threat to the United States.

Fortunately, we have won the war, which was not a war but a special operation, in Iran now several times in the last two weeks. It is basically over but might not be over for some time because we already won. We also don't need anyone to help open the Strait of Hormuz, which we knew they would close, which is why we didn't prepare, and we now need allies to help open.

What are you guys not understanding?

excerpt from rachel corrie’s letter to her mother, written three weeks before she was killed

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Colonizers have always portrayed resistance as terrorism, savagery, and barbarism. They love to play the victim of the so-called savagery of the colonized and use this perpetual victimhood to justify countless genocides.

[aster 🌼 @themermacorn]

The US is largely a hyper-individualized, functionally illiterate, propagandized, & pacified population with no sense of solidarity & no tolerance for the slightest inconvenience or uncomfortability. There will be no mass movement to the streets til the economy collapses.

[Joe Emersberger @rosendo_joe]

The video highlights that the U.S. wields a murderous illegitimate authority over billions of people all over the world. The U.S. is therefore a genocidal dictatorship. That remains true regardless how free or unfree people in the imperial are to protest or express dissent.

[davey @justdaveyjustin]

These fucking grifters will look us dead in the eye and say the single mother on food stamps is a moocher and the immigrant down the road is stealing welfare money, and then spend billions on lobster dinners. They are horrific fucking liars and thieves. They need to pay back what they STOLE from taxpayers
