Using Signal groups for activism
Things are heating up. Millions of people are taking to the streets against Trump's rising authoritarianism. Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism. Signal can help people safely organize in all of these contexts.

Iran accuses EU of acting as Israel’s ‘apologist’
The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the European Union of acting as an “apologist” for Israel after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas raised concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei directly addressed Kallas, urging her to “please stop acting as the aggressor’s apologist”.
He also said: “How can you express concern over Iran’s peaceful program that is under the most robust IAEA inspections and ignore the fact that the Israeli regime has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons?!”

I am pro Ukraine... Iran is a Russian ally. Iran is the enemy of Ukraine. How they backed their sorry ass into this shiti corner is a them problem. They are far from a vicitm in any sense of the world. They blew their geo political load on supporting proxy groups which got rolled easily and quickly. Iran under invested into conventional army and israel is about wipe the remaining capabilities. This is a leadership issue, they fucked up. Now they will be punished for it. I just hope they do some serious damage ot Israel first.
A lot of pro Gaza people around here can't seem to understand that most western support for Gaza is just that support for Gaza. Nobody likes a clown theological regime in Tehran anymore than the Zionist savages in tel Aviv.
☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ doesn't like this.
Like how the US and Britain overthrew the Iranian democracy in 1953 and then installed a brutal dictatorship.
Man I wonder why the Iranian government is not a fan of the West. It must be because they hate our freedoms.
Do you know who supports Israel committing genocide in Gaza?
Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China
The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.
Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump's original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.
While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.

'A Clear Choice': Bernie Sanders Endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor
With one week left until voting ends in the city's Democratic mayoral primary, the senator announced his endorsement for progressive Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
"How does New York effectively address the crises in affordable housing, education, crime, drugs, transportation, childcare, and many more?" said Sanders (I-Vt.) in a statement. "The answers will not be easy, but one thing I do know: They will not be solved by a Democratic establishment dependent on super PACs funded by billionaires who could care less about the needs of working families. We need a new politics and new leadership which is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight for the working class."

Ex-Sen. Bob Menendez set to report to federal prison for 11-year bribery sentence
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.
Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.
Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”
Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.

Federal Prison is basically the country clubs of prison. It’s where all the white collars go.
But atleast its prison, he deserves it.

For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.
