Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

"The visibility of “Alt” accounts signals to others — former officials, civil servants, journalists, and citizens alike — that dissent is possible, shared, and legitimate. That signal has value well beyond any single post or thread."
"In that sense, the “Alts” are not a curiosity of social media. They are a signal — that even under pressure, civil society can reconstitute itself, find new forms, and push back. That is not just encouraging. It is essential."

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work
Let's keep fighting for a better world.
