What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

This is such a good idea, I’m also curious about how much it made sense to charge for subscriptions for a limited jawn

Yup, family’s from around Brasov

Ohhhhh truuuue

What is humorous about this story?

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

“Company towns, exploitative working contracts, things like that have always been what sparked the biggest progressions in labor rights,” Jetson told me. “And really, that is what’s happening here, in the realest tradition of the American labor movement.”
